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.

Kinzinger is working trump like a piece of clay . It’s so easy to do and I don’t understand why more people don’t do it.

Trumps personality disorders control every aspect of his life. He’s incapable of not responding and he’s completely unaware of how stupid and childish it makes him look.

And he's been this way for quite some time. A journalist once said Trump has small hands and Trump literally sent the guy photos of his hands for decades afterwards to show how big they were. (And this article was from 2015. If he's still sending the photos, it would be over 30 years now.)

Imagine being so insecure that you feel the need to respond to a personal slight for that long afterwards! If someone insulted my appearance on a message board in 1998, I wouldn't still be posting there in 2023 with "proof" that they were wrong.

Most of us don't have the resources to carry out something like this so we're forced to learn to forget. Imagine having your worst instincts be unlimited by a lack of resources? That's what it must belike to be Donald.

Ummm..... 2015 was 9 years ago, not 30. That would be 1993-1994 at this point

The article was written in 2015 stating he's been receiving pictures for 25 years.

Gotcha, I thought the article written in 2015 was when he started sending pics, based on just reading your comment

Make up increasingly ridiculous accusations about Trump's appearance, etc. and claim you heard them from a source close to Trump. When pressed on the source, say John Barron called you personally to tell you that Trump prefers pink diapers with unicorns on them or whatever.
