        Indeed, although it seems like a cheap shot to mock his medical problems. Father Time is a sonofbitch, and he’s coming for all of us.

        Edit: Lol at the downvotes, it was me taking the cheap shot in the first place. I’m allowed to say I’m taking a cheap shot.

          He’s the king of cheap shots and categorically refuses to admit he’s ever done anything wrong or failed at anything. Plus he’s a fascist.

          He’s fair game for even the cheapest of shots.

            This seemed like the perfect opportunity to ask ChatGPT to write a Trump speech about being the best at making cheap shots. So here you go, straight copy paste from ChatGPT:

            Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can make cheap shots like I can. It’s tremendous, folks. People come up to me all the time and say, “Donald, how do you do it?” Well, it’s a talent, it really is. I’ve got the best cheap shots, believe me. Other people try, but they can’t even come close. I’ve been doing this for a long time, and nobody does it better than me. So, when it comes to making cheap shots, I’m the absolute best. Thank you, thank you very much.

      loser. That is why none of them can smell it. They are all massive stinking losers. They’re just nose blind to it.

        More likely straight sulphur. There’s a stench of rotten eggs for like half a mile around his bodily girth. The fence around the White House was to protect us, not him.

    “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.

      When I first saw Idiocracy when it was perhaps a year or three old, I thought it was stupid. I loved the premise but thought the movie was stupid and too exaggerated. That it would be funnier if it were less over the top.

      I admit that I was wrong about it being exaggerated. But I was right that it would be funnier otherwise because it wouldn’t have been so prescient.

        I read that they got the audience to laugh at the ass movie without promoting them.

        We’re fucked.

            If they’d needed 90 minutes they might’ve been able to get it, but I think they probably stopped filming after a few minutes because that’s all they needed for the movie.

        Hey, the President in the movie recognized that there was someone smarter than him and got him to help solve a major problem. That’s actually better than Trump did.

    Gotta love the Streisand effect on display. Wouldn’t have known he smells if they hadn’t “fired back.”

      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.

      Absolutely. I hadn’t thought about his odor at all. If they’d left it be, the issue would’ve disappeared in a week’s time. Now “so, what did he smell like…” is the first question I’d ask if I was talking to somebody who met him.

    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.

      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.

    He’s an old fat guy with a poor diet, of course he smells.

    I don’t really care if he smells, but I think it’s really funny that they care that somebody said it.

      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

      It is to live!

      Let’s li-ti-gate all he has to say!

      Hey!

      Can anyone else improve this?

        Jingle Bells

        Donald smells

        Jai-l all the way

        What a time

        To be a live

        Let’s lit-i-gate him away

        Hey!

        Rolls off the tongue better.

        I feel like the litigate needs an easier word.

        “Donald Smells” is actually a better fit than “Donald Trump smells” and is probably clear enough with the context of th rest of the song. You could easily include a line about how “Trump” is longstanding British slang for “fart” though and then you get both names in.

          I recommend that you try to improve the world with correction instead of (only) criticism. See something misspelled? Post the correct spelling! See some syllables that are off? Fix 'em so that others don’t get it wrong!

    Now this might actually get his base riled up.

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

      With his love of junk food, he can’t be smelling great. What you eat is how you smell. Aside from the whole bathing thing. Oh god, I just thought about Trump bathing. Oh god, make it stop.

    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?
