Insulting Trump on social media is stress relief for those of us who find him obnoxious.
Have you ever come across a trending hashtag that left you in splits? Well, the recent uproar on social media over the Trump Stinks hashtag has taken the internet by storm. It seems that even after leaving the White House, Donald Trump can't escape the jokes and memes that follow him everywhere. From claims about his alleged body odor to hilarious comparisons, the online community has come up with an array of creative ways to poke fun at Trump. In this article, we'll take a look at the bizarre claims, the ad campaigns, and the social media frenzy surrounding Trump's alleged smell. So buckle up, because we're about to embark on a laughter-filled journey!
It all started when former GOP congressman and CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger took to X on December 16 to comment on Trump's purported odor. Little did he know that his tweet would ignite a wildfire of jokes and memes. Kinzinger's tweet read, "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."
This simple statement became the catalyst for the emergence of the '#TrumpStinks' hashtag, which quickly became the top trending topic on X. Anti-Trump accounts wasted no time in jumping on the bandwagon, making amusing accusations about Trump's smell and fueling the online frenzy.
Once the hashtag gained traction, social media users unleashed their creativity and wit to create a deluge of memes and jokes about Trump's alleged stench. One tweet showed a picture of Trump sitting in a car during an episode of the TV show Seinfeld, where characters Jerry Seinfeld and Elaine Benes complain about the smell in the vehicle. Others referred to the 13 charges the former president faces in Georgia, likening them to "Reeko" charges. The humor knew no bounds, as people shared images of garbage dumps, animal feces, dirty diapers, and even moldy cheese to mock Trump's alleged smell.

Not one to miss an opportunity for political satire, The Lincoln Project, a political advocacy group primarily comprised of Republicans aiming to defeat Trump, released an ad titled "Limburger" shown below. The 40-second ad features a series of notoriously foul-smelling scenes, accompanied by an audio track of a person sniffing and coughing at the smells. As the camera pans to the front of Trump Tower in New York, a deep voice claims that the former president smells bad. Comedian Kathy Griffith's voice then chimes in, describing Trump's distinct odor as a mixture of body odor and scented makeup products. The ad concludes with a generic female voice sniffing, coughing, and grimacing, asking, "Donald, is that you?" as flies buzz in the background.
