The ad is called ‘Limburger,’ a cheese known for its pungent odour
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.”
Maybe he does. No idea personally. I do think there are worse things about him personally.
Remember when Alex Jones said Obama and Hillary were demons that literally smelled of sulfur? I can’t get that out of my head. It’s like people trying to trigger the smell memory mechanism to influence votes, doesn’t ring true to me. Like even if he did smell bad sometimes, it’s not like he literally can’t be clean, he probably just doesn’t shower sometimes and his assorted handlers don’t call him on it or whatever. That could be bad practice as a world leader but it isn’t a permanent thing like his opinions on immigrants and minorities are.
