Will Americans Vote for a Man Who Is Now Widely Reported to Exude a Rancid Odor?
The one thing Donald Trump can’t bear people saying of him is something many near him confirm is true—he smells terrible. What will voters do with this intelligence? This report unpacks that question.

Yes.
That isn't even a real question is it? Just take a minute. 1 minute and Google the last half century of US politics.
We will absolutely vote for a gameshow host in a persistently full diaper. We've done it before. In 1980.
At least the last one wasn't completely insane.
How is bad BO worse than the shit that comes out when he opens his mouth?
and that stench can travel very long distances
Its an interesting article because it talks about who cares about it. His supporters care the most. So he goes to great lengths to keep it covered up in the press (but not in real life? Somehow?).
Honestly I don't understand how this is an issue he cannot fix. Supposedly he is wealthy and connected, I can't believe he couldn't get treatment if it is some sort of condition or fucking use soap on a daily basis if it is not.
The only other thing coming to mind is the purported incontinence and adult diapers, but then I can't believe all his sycophants or generally all of the people he interacts with are willing to ignore an adult man smelling like literal feces without fail.
Smell is deeply ingrained.

What a good man.... always encouraging the rest of us to take showers and smell good.
I haven't heard specifics on his odor, but I bet it's a nasty butt smell. Like when you go into a public bathroom and the toilet bowl still smells like the last guy's moist, sweaty asshole that hasn't seen soap in two weeks. That smell that just marinates in there for hours.
Wow I got a pretty graphic olfactory image from that 🤢
Somewhere between plain yogurt and rancid milk mixed with fart
I don't get the people saying this doesn't matter. People don't just naturally smell horrid if they are regularly bathing.
Has he always smelled like shit or is this new? Is this further evidence of his inability (or unwillingness) to clean himself? Or is this a refusal to allow anyone to clean him despite a disability? Incredibly, is someone forcing him not to clean himself? Is this some form of incontinence he has refused to address?
There are various implications about his health. Things most reasonable people have assumed but that Trump has stringently refused to provide acceptable verification for.
There are things to think about beyond "bad man stinky" but other people here are acting like they're too high-minded to ponder them.
/inb4 I already know Trump sucks because <laundry list of deficiencies />
Wow so many questions youve raised that might have a basis in reality. I find the best way to form a foundational belief about someone is to focus on things that seem to be out of their control (OR IS IT??).
Can we just straight up ban certain people from running for president to avoid this going forward? Smell, poor vision, obesity, age, maybe weird lookin people too...
We absolutely should be banning people from public office (especially the presidency) because of age, mostly because of its causal relation with physical and mental fitness. Which is what the questions about his apparent smell are also trying to get to the bottom. Is this person suffering the advanced effects of age or are they still fit to perform the duties of the position?
But thanks for engaging with the topic instead of trying to make this some banal conversation about what I think of his eau d' toilet. Is what I wish I could've said.
It’s 10 months old but very comprehensive and well laid-out. Some good questions like “is covering trump’s odor journalism?” And “why is he so weird about smells” plus lots of verbatim firsthand accounts.
I'd vote for someone who literally stinks as long as they didn't figuratively stink
Something something republicans are scared a bidet will make you gay
Americans are dumb enough to engage with content like this, so probably.
The man is literally full of shit.
If they make people scared or angry enough
*stupid enough.
I mean those things, too, but they're not doing the driving.
On the list of reasons why Trump isn't fit to be president, this is somewhere in the low thousands.
@Optional@lemmy.world. You stink. Morally.

STOP YANKEE SPAM. NOBODY CARE WHICH WAR CRIMER YOU’RE GONNA PICK THIS TIME. YOUR LIFE DOESN’T WORTH MORE THAN A FOREIGNER.
THROW THE HEADS OF BOTH PARTY IN SUPERMAX AND DROP THE KEY IN THE GREAT CANYON. START OVER. RESPECT GENEVAS CONVENTIONS.
"Trump is stinky doodoo caca head! He stinky butt man!"
-What Democrats have been reduced to because they see the writing on the wall.
I guess I don't blame you. Everyone needs an outlet. Really I'm just sorry you let the media convince you that you will be put into camps if he wins.
Magas discuss made up stuff. Democrats just discuss facts.

"NO YOU!"
