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.”

    This is just sad and childish and they should be embarrassed. Leave the shitty political jokes to SNL.

      Seeing that some people voted for him because he told Marco that he was packing on the debate stage, if some people withdrawal support because he smells like limburger, I’m not going to stand in their way.

      That being said, I’m glad no org that I’m supporting is wasting their dollars here.

          Fwiw, I’m not a downvoter in general, and your comment was no exception. I hope it’s clear that I agree this is a childish waste of money.

      Nah, it’s hilarious and probably bothers Trump a ton. He smells like shit.
