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 one of those headlines that reminds us of how deeply unserious the society we made is. We’re throwing around playground insults because inciting a coup and causing mass desth through subpar covid measures made him MORE popular.
Im beggin people to realize Trump is not the endgame, the voters behind him are and they do not change, and will find a better smarter and more electable fascist to rally behind. Meanwhile the Dems have done nothing but try to stop ‘Trump the individual’, not ‘Trump the culmination of fascist citizens desires’.

Of all the things that are likely to effectively separate him from his base, this is the best angle I think we’ve seen taken since 2015.
Appeals to their better nature haven’t worked because they simply do not have one.
The guy wears clown makeup on a daily basis, I don’t think they’re going to care what he smells like.
Counterpoint: things like this drive him so crazy that he lashes out, further embarrassing himself.
Also, I don’t think they believe he wears makeup. Ex’s mom believed his tan was natural. You’re right that they won’t really believe or care, but I don’t really think it’s about convincing his voters at this point.

Also, by responding to the criticism, he validates it.
Nah, try it some time. Just start making fun of Trump supporters; try to make them embarrassed.
Shame is fundamental to why they believe what they do. Exposing that shame is extremely painful.
He’s also an egomaniac that can’t handle even the smallest forms of mockery. Remember “baby hands”? It got under his skin like crazy. This could actually tank his campaign, even though it feels extremely childish for politics
“I’ve had no complaints, believe me”
Which of course either means that he’s lying, which he usually is when telling people to believe him, or being a rich, powerful, thin-skinned and impossible narcissist have stop people from complaining or insulting him to his face.
from complaining or insulting him to his face.
the real question is how much air freshener do they go through?
Infinite amounts.
