The Lincoln Project released an ad over the weekend attacking former President Donald Trump, saying he “smells bad.”
In an X post Sunday, the anti-Trump group posted, “Is that you Donald?” with the hashtag #TrumpSmells. The post featured a roughly 40-second video titled, “Limburger,” that shows pictures of garbage, feces, old cheese, and soiled diapers, while voices in the video are sniffing and coughing.
During one shot of the Trump Tower, a voice says, “Claiming the former president smells bad.”
Comedian Kathy Griffin is then heard saying, “The Donald has a distinct smell. It’s like body odor with a scented makeup product.”
Another voice is heard saying, “Ew, Donald. Is that you?”
Conversations about the former president’s body odor started earlier this month when former Rep. Adam Kinzinger posted about Mr. Trump’s scent on X.
“I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor,” the Illinois Republican posted on Dec. 16. “It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can.”
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung railed against Mr. Kinzinger in response to the post.
“Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud,” he told Newsweek. “He has disgraced his country and disrespects everyone around him because he is a sad individual who is mad about how his miserable life has turned out.”
The Washington Times has reached out to the Trump campaign.
The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump PAC, released a foul ad doubling down on allegations that former president Donald Trump smells.
Claims around the former president’s alleged odour erupted earlier this week when former Illinois Republican representative Adam Kinzinger tweeted, “I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor. It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can.”
The Lincoln Project seized upon the resulting social media firestorm with a video advertisement on Saturday, with the caption: “Is that you Donald? #TrumpSmells.”
The ad begins with scenes of dumps, waste, and dung — with flies swarming around it — and is punctuated by a chorus of coughs, sniffles, and vomiting.
The video then shows garbage being picked up and piled up on the streets of New York.
Then, while featuring the facade of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, a reporter’s voice booms, “Claiming the former president smells bad.”
Comedian Kathy Griffin can then be heard saying, “The Donald has a distinct smell. It’s like body odour with a scented makeup product.”
While showing other smelly products, like moldy cheese, someone can be heard sniffing before saying, “Ew, Donald. Is that you?”
The ad is called “Limburger,” a cheese known for its pungent odour.
In response to Mr Kinzinger’s comments about the former president earlier in the week, a Trump spokesperson told The Independent: “Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud.”
The spokesperson added, “He has disgraced his country and disrespects everyone around him because he is a sad individual who is mad about how his miserable life has turned out.”
Whiffs of the allegation have permeated social media, as the hashtag #TrumpSmellsBad has been trending.
One user posted a parody video of Trump loyalist, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, putting up a poster that read: “Trump smells but not as bad as I do!”
Another posted a fake video of Mr Trump holding up a t-shirt that reads “I stink” with his mugshot on it, suggesting it could be a “last-minute stocking stuffer.”
Another user pointed out that a 1988 Spy Magazine entry referred to the real estate mogul as “Donald ‘Stinky’ Trump.”
Having maintained a relatively low profile during her husband’s first term, Melania Trump is now poised to become a central figure in his 2024 campaign. According to recent Pagesix sources, Donald Trump has won his federal election subversion lawsuit. According to a person close to Trump, Melania, who went to Rosalynn Carter’s burial with other former first women, is feeling more self-assured these days. This renewed confidence carries over to her position as her husband’s envoy as well as to her own diplomatic stature.
As per Pagesix source “Trump and his family are so secure that he will become president again that insiders at Mar-a-Lago say he’s reached an agreement with [wife] Melania [Trump] to step up top-tier diplomatic appearances in 2024.”
In a rare public appearance last Friday, December 15th, former First Lady Melania Trump took center stage at a naturalization ceremony in the National Archives, Washington D.C. Sharing her own experience as a naturalized citizen, she delivered a heartfelt speech welcoming 25 immigrants sworn in as new Americans.
Melania’s appearance had a bigger meaning. It signaled her return to public attention after being known for her reserved style during Trump’s first term. And now, reports confirm that the Slovenian-born former model is determined to leave a ‘historic mark.’
“Melania realizes it’s her time to join the ranks of historic first ladies and leave her mark on history… She feels better prepared for her potential role the second time around.” the source said.
Melania Trump wants to spend time with her son
The magazine’s report also stated that the former first lady is hoping to get a chance to spend more time with her son. The insider continued, “Melania feels she can dedicate more time to the role now that Barron, her son with Trump, is 17.”
Donald Trump has full family support
“The immediate family including Melania is solidly behind the former president.”The source added. Following her surprising attendance at former First Lady Rosalynn Carter’s funeral in Atlanta, Melania, 53, went to another ceremony alongside Trump. It has been claimed that she attended a Patriot Awards celebration in Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.
