I hear President Camacho smells like Axe body spray.
More like Brawndo. It's what constituents crave.

I wonder if he's one of those guys that thinks washing your asshole is gay.
You think he can reach his asshole?
Why would he need to when republicans lick his ass clean non stop
There used to be a very coveted job in feudal England. The Groom of the Stool. Their job was to wipe the king's ass after he took a shit.

We are literally at the point of American politics where a politician has described a presidential candidate as smelling like a butt.
THIS HAPPENED
Cmon, don't be so reductionalist and sensationalistic. I swear, you're just like the liberal media taking things out of context. That's not what he really said. You left out 2/3rds of his odor profile for Christ's sake! It's not all butt!

Saying Kinzinger farted on tv is hilarious because Rudy has 100% done that
Also not a denial
Also not the same as a constant stench.
I realize we can talk about multiple things at once, but I feel like this inconsequential stuff like odor and color is completely irrelevant. There can be an absolutely moral, helpful person who smells, looks orange, stands weird, has small hands, etc.
The problem with Trump isn't his odor or appearance-- it's that he's a genocidal maniac who's the figurehead for an organized and influential group of far-right extremists. Even if he smelled like roses, he'd still be bad.
I don't give a fuck how he smells. It's a non-issue.
The sad thing is, the kind of peaked-in-highschool voter that voted for Trump and can be swung absolutely will care about how he smells. I can hear it now, "I'm not voting for some stinky old man" "I thought the diapers thing was a myth"
This kind of low blow absolutely will have effect if they can make it stick. A sad day for democracy? Definitely. But that's the media environment of today.
Also it gives opponents a chance to needle dick him in debates which will cause him to fly into a rage and embarrass himself. God only knows what TMI he might rave about, his bathroom habits etc. Even tiny jabs like "do I have to be the guy to sit next to Trump" have huge rage potential.
I think you are onto something here. Also, cons are known for reacting to things that are "gross". That's the way they are wired. Getting them to understand that donnie diapers is physically gross and repellent may have more of an effect than trying to explain how he's awful for this country.

I think this is more karmic, nobody would be talking about this if he wasn't such an immature baby who has been calling names his whole political career. It doesn't really matter, but I also think it's not the kind of thing that leftists would be talking about at all if it wasn't so deserved at this point.
I don't really see leftists talking about this at all tbh. Most leftists I encounter are more centered on ideologies and actual problems.
That's because he's so blatantly incompetent at pretty much everything that insulting his looks just feels like a low blow.
But after he made fun of that disabled news reporter the gloves came off and this fat, stinky, rotten, tiny hands having, insurrectionist, orange™ needs thrown in the trash.

Kinzinger left politics to sit in the peanut gallery and make Trump's life hell. This dumb non-issue is exactly the type that gets under Trump's skin, that's probably reason enough for Kinzinger to keep pushing it.
I mean, it's still kind of funny. Is it relevant to his ability to govern? Not at all. Is it hilarious to watch these morons get in a petty little slap fight about it? Yeah.

I agree too. But at the same time there is a subset of the voting population that care about things like this or Hillary Clinton's cankles.

You're right.
What better way to show that he's unhinged by slowly breaking the facade he's cultivated and watching him squirm/lash out?
He's losing his money.
He's losing his image.
We just have to pray he loses the election, I think that will be the final nail in the coffin (alongside things like the criminal cases coming to their obvious conclusions).

It is a non issue. It is also not unlikely for Trump to go completely nuclear over this, hopefully showing a few more folks what a moron he is.

Breaking: Old overweight sweaty man smells bad
I’ve been amazed that everybody is just kind of learning about this now.
When you spend all your time with Senators, campaign mega-donors, and the creepy sociopath lobbyists, I assume you kinda lose your sense for it.

Real alpha men make the whole room smell their shit. I held my executive meetings in my private bathroom the morning after a drunken late night Taco Bell run. There's no more alpha feeling than making an underling try to persuade you on some issue they care about with their eyes watering from your pungent alpha stench.
I can't tell of you are being sarcastic, humorous or a sociopath.

Our leaders arguing about farts and armpit smells. Anyways, Trump does look like he would smell, I mean he's always sweaty looking and fat. He is really fat.

To all MAGA and Republicants: You shouldnt vote for someone who smells like shit. Babys smell like shit. Would you vote for a baby?
Babies are prohibited from running for POTUS by the Constitution, but if that baby promised them unlimited power, a nationwide abortion ban, and the ability to use campaign funds on hookers and blow, they’d definitely add an amendment to be able to vote for that baby.

In other words, he smells exactly the way you'd expect him to smell.
Trump has been using grade-school insults for his whole political career. The only surprise here is how long it took for others to reciprocate. #orangemansmellsbad
Shits going to smell like shit.
That's probably an approximation of what he's actually comprised of.
I imagine that's what the computer chair smells like in the managers office at McDonald's
Ugh, why did this description take me there? I can smell it
Huh, I would have guessed it would be more of a urine and mildew smell.
Bob Woodward said he could smell Trump's diaper was full.
Bob is a reliable source.

Is this where our discourse has gone? Jingle bells batman smells, good luck and good night.
Iirc Adams said Jackson's mother was a prostitute and Jackson said Adams was a hermaphrodite.
