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.”
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.
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
Are you saying his hands are small? I have it on his authority that trump has the biggest hands. Yuge. Such big hands you’ve never seen before. People tell me all the time, they say, “Donald has such big hands, I’ve never seen hands so large.” I bet he could palm two basketballs at once. World leaders won’t shake his hand because they’re afraid their hands will look like tiny baby hands by comparison.
I bet those huge baby hands smell like baby shit
let’s be honest, it wasn’t entirely the size of his hands
“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.
the real question is how much air freshener do they go through?
tRump’s the reason air freshener companies are not going bankrupt.
Infinite amounts.
No such thing. But if he gets re-elected, I’m buying stock in glade.
If logical political attacks don’t work because his base is too fucking stupid to understand them, then use illogical ones against the fat, smelly, tiny-handed, well-done steak eating piece of orange crap traitor.
Yep! It is kind of funny too because petty insults is all they have, but they seem extremely sensible to them themselves. Trump has a nickname for virtually everyone, and they think it’s the best thing ever, but point out that he’s an insecure man wearing ungodly amount of makeup and they immediately get weirdly offended by it. “OrAnGe MaN bAd”. The funny thing is, as Trump would say, there is a lot of subject matter with his overall presentation, ironically.
But how many of his supporters have had covid so many times that they can’t smell shit if it’s up their own noses at this point?
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.
I don’t think that’s possible.
And they won’t believe that he smells.
What is the point, exactly? Other than pouring contributions down the toilet for laughs?
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.
That’s incredibly naive. If they were ashamed they would simply stop doing it. They’re quite the opposite, I promise, and not going to suddenly be ashamed that their representative smells bad, after all the simply deplorable things he has done and said.
They don’t feel shame about being assholes, they feel Shane about deeply held insecurities, which causes them to behave like assholes. It’s childhood bully mentality. They’re not ashamed of hurting others, they take pride in that. They are ashamed of their own perceived ‘weakness’, their internalized homopohobia, their lack of intelligence or work ethic, their perceived emotional weakness. All the things that they attack minorities for.
What does any of this have to do with how Trump smells?
It has to do with your comment that I replied to, which is generally how conversations work? I was directly responding to the comment you made.
In what way? Seems like you were just chomping at the bit to rant about an irrelevant topic that upsets you.
You literally said that they don’t feel shame so I gave several examples of things they may be ashamed about. Your comprehension skills are not good.
Now I’m hopeful for the tiny hands campaign
