Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican representative, encouraged people to ‘wear a mask’ when they’re in the presence of ex-president Trump due to his apparent odor.
Kinzinger, a vocal Trump critic, posted on his Twitter account this week that the former president possesses a strong smell. “I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor,” Kinzinger wrote earlier this week. “It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can,” he added.
What’s that smell?!
Political analysts worldwide speculated what kind of smell the 77-year old is emitting. Could it be bad breath from eating garlic or onions, analysts wondered. Many people say it could be alcohol hangover breath, which might explain Trump’s displays of senile dementia and mental decay.
Canned fish can also cause bad breath, but experts ruled this out because it is not on the McDonald’s menu.
When reached for comment, a Trump spokesman fumed, “Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud,” the spokesperson said in a statement provided to The Independent.
Critics of Trump have mentioned the former president has a “distinct smell.” Comedian Kathy Griffin recalled that the former president smelled “like body odor with kind of like scented makeup products.” Speaking on The Mary Trump Show, Griffin added, “Donald has a distinct smell that doesn’t get enough press.”
Scientific research by some observers spotlighted five distinct possibilities:
- “B.O.,” or body odor, caused by not showering so as to avoid messing up his hair.
- Reeking body sweat caused stress and anxiety.
- Pooping in his pants.
- Powerful farting caused by eating beans or food that fell on the floor.
- Old Man Smell
