You'd think talking about Trump's smell would just be fluff news good for a couple of funny headlines. But then again, maybe the kind of folks who are on the fence about whether to vote for him might be the kind of folks who would be swayed by news that he stinks. If he stinks, that means he's not the alpha male he's somehow managed to convince the right he is.

Much as I wish "he tried to overthrow the U.S. government" would sway people.

The crowd voting for him thinks the fascism is agreeable, the rapes are peak alpha behaviour, the Epstein relations are edgy and fun, the wanting to fuck his daughter is relatable, and the treason a product of necessity and honestly peak patriotism.

Body odour? Harder to do mental gymnastics with that one.

He intentionally smells bad to own the libs!

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 10 points 1 year ago

My assumption is it's due to the adult diapers, not body odour.

Could be both, though.

I dunno if the meme is true but if you think about it an obese 80 yr old who lives in a humid swamp probably doesn't smell great

Take all this with a grain of salt because it's just a theory, buuuuuuut...

The mindset that is okay with authoritarianism is not okay with "Filth." This is why it doesn't give a shit about actual social issues. It sees certain groups and ideas as "Filthy."

Smell like loaded Depends? Filthy.

If he stinks they will just reframe it as alpha male musk or some shit.

[–] Rookwood@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Or some shit

Having worked with a two old dudes with diapers (not that there's anything wrong with adult diapers), it gets real rancid when they just sit in it for more than a hour.

Diaper Don must be dropping shits and just letting it sink in. And with his diet of fast food, you know those around him are getting hit hard.

Conservative media has attacked Hillary and Aiden for their smell. It is an issue for some conservative voters.

[–] Igloojoe@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Has the child rapist Trump ever claimed to be an Alpha Male? Sounds like the same energy as Andrew Tate.

I've worked at a nursing home, I know the smell everyone keeps talking about. It's soiled diapers, from an old man who drinks nothing but soda and big macs.

[–] stoicferret@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

God, how hard it has to be to drink a big Mac. Impressive, the most impressive.

[–] Buck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not that hard, apparently. A quick search on YouTube shows people happily blendering their big macs and drinking the sludge.

This sounds like an insult you’d hear little kids use. It’s ridiculous that we’re talking about a presidential candidate this way. It’s seriously pissing him off, though, so keep it up, folks!

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Strangely, I think this might be the line of attack that actually makes his cultists see through the curtain.

[–] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

His followers aren't deceived. They know he's a liar and petty, hateful person. This won't open anyone's eyes.

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

I'd say the opposite. If your main play is "the guy smells", then that's as good as a win for anything else he's done.

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Smart insults don’t get to him. Saying he smells like shit will really bother him. It’s great.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If Trump was a real alpha his response would be to bottle his stank and sell it as cologne for $300 a pop.

[–] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The man failed at selling steak, liquor, and gambling to Americans.

[–] SecretSauces@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Three of the most American things, aside from guns

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He probably would have made a killing on the Trump gun market.

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

If he had any brains, he would've launched that business before attempting his insurrection so they would have better odds of success

[–] preludeofme@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Jesus don't give him anymore dumbass ideas lol

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If there was ever a time it was more embarrassing to be an American…. I’d love to hear it.

[–] Denalduh@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, we may see it within the next year.

[–] Lucz1848@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why would anyone want a smelly president? Embarrassing!

Almost like a presidential candidate who wears heels.

The insecurities of the snowflake GOP

[–] Dr_Fetus_Jackson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Even more embarrassing is that anyone would want him for a president at all... smelly, or no.

[–] butt_mountain_69420@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

That's the smell of Putin's semen on his breath.

They could license the Infectious Grooves song You Lie and Your Breath Stank.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This is the political equivalent of Cheese Touch. lol

[–] dreamer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Jesus Christ. What the fuck is news nowadays? His smell? Really?

[–] ares35@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

hopefully that scent will soon be blended with the musky he-man odor of bubba and big john from cell block c.
