“Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud,” the spokesperson said in a statement provided to The Independent.

This is the official response. You'd best start believing in Idiocracy, you're in one.

Gotta love the Streisand effect on display. Wouldn't have known he smells if they hadn't "fired back."

[–] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 79 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Are you sure about that? Because every picture I see of the seditious fuck makes him look like he smells of hamberder grease and dirty adult diapers.

[–] NounsAndWords@lemmy.world 38 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Apparently the smell is body odor and makeup....which makes sense

This is incredible:

When reached for comment about the accusation, a spokesperson for Mr Trump returned the insult to Mr Kinzinger.

“Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud,” the spokesperson said in a statement provided to The Independent.

“He has disgraced his country and disrespects everyone around him because he is a sad individual who is mad about how his miserable life has turned out.”

Kinzinger just gave us a masterclass on how to troll Trump. Not only is this a “no, YOU smell bad!” Kindergarten-level retort, but it’s also just an ad-hominem attack on Kinzinger from Trump’s lawyers, and it’s pointedly NOT a refutation. They know it’s true, and they know it’s trivially provable. And I feel pretty certain Trump has been screaming at them to sue for slander or whatever, and the lawyers are probably like “nope. You do smell. We will lose. It won’t be close.” I genuinely hope it drives him to distraction. And I hope it comes up in the debates. I hope the Democratic nominee (I know, almost certainly Biden, but a guy can hope) visibly reacts to Trump coming near them with visible, uncontrollable disgust. I hope news orgs take this and run with it like a dog with a bone. I want EVERYONE in the Republican sphere to constantly be talking about how godawful Trump smells.

[–] Tosti@feddit.nl 26 points 9 months ago

Not a refutation... Excellent.
This really is the dumbest timeline isn't it?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

You know they won't because the media is owned by right wingers

[–] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 55 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Melania always seemed to have a look on her face like someone just farted. I now know why.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Would be hilarious if there was a whole bank of Melania photos where she's smiling from ear to ear when she's not around him.

It's not hard to believe. He did once enter Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

Too bad that one aide didn't get the memo and told him about the cheeto dust on his mask when he was touring the factory

[–] Tremble@sh.itjust.works 42 points 9 months ago

Now this might actually get his base riled up.

But if the campaign said he doesn’t, he definitely smells.

Jingle bells

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (5 children)

Ok, now I have to take a crack at it.

Jingle bells,

Donald Trump smells,

Pro-se-cute him all the way!

Oh, whata time

In some ways it makes sense for someone so full of shit he must be overflowing with it.

I never heard anyone talk about Trump's smell until seeing this so a. You know he smells. And b. Now I do, too.

Are we sure it's not some power move from his art of the deal? Like he intentionally smells so people are desperate to get out of the room?

[–] krakenx@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

Donald smells

Eric did a line

Melania holds her nose

And Rudy got a fine

[–] PeckerBrown@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Shit stinks. Next story?

[–] doublejay1999@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Can I just summarise where we are, as we close 2023 ?

“You smell” “Do not” “Do so”” “Do not”

With a media and leadership like this, the only hope is nice fat meteor from the cosmos .
