Former president’s body odor was called into question by a former congressman

Former president’s body odor was called into question by a former congressman

Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican representative, encouraged people to ‘wear a mask’ when they’re in the presence of former president Donald Trump due to his apparent odor.

Mr Kinzinger, a vocal critic of Mr Trump, took to his Twitter account this week to insinuate that the former president possesses a strong smell.

“I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor,” Mr Kinzinger wrote earlier this week.

“It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can,” he added.

The accusation garnered a lot of attention on the platform, with many mocking the former president for his alleged smell.

    Now? During the 2016 Republican primaries, Trump insisted that he had large hands and large genitalia because one of the other candidates said he had small hands.

    Trump has never been dignified.

      The origin is he was called a “short fingered vulgarian” in a print article in Spy (which called Kissinger a socialite war criminal). It means that he is cheap (short fingers don’t reach deep into pockets to get at money) which he took literally to mean having small hands. Dude just slid right past the actual insult and moved on to a different one that he either preferred to argue against or substituted because he didn’t understand the original.

        And Trump responded to that by sending photos of his hands to the author of that piece for 25 years.

        Imagine if someone personally insulted you on a message board in 1998 and you responded to it by continuously replying to that same thread all the way up to today with “evidence” that they were wrong!

          I heard he also wore large fake hands and screamed “NOBODY LOOK! NOBODY LOOK!” after they accidentally fell off

      Well I don’t disagree with that haha, just sad that American politics is now at the level of, ‘You smell!’, ‘No, you smell!’, ‘Nuh uh!’
