After the former GOP rep. claimed on X, formerly Twitter, that the ex-President has an 'odor' that is 'something to behold,' Trump's team responded with their own dig at Kinzinger.

Former President Donald Trump's team lashed out after former Illinois Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger claimed on X, formerly Twitter, that the ex-President has an "odor" that is "something to be behold."

Kinzinger said he is "genuinely surprised" that people close to Trump have not "talked about the odor" and advised anyone who might find themselves in Trump's orbit to "Wear a mask if you can."


You can see his post below.

Trump's team swiftly reacted to Kinzinger's comment via a spokesperson, calling Kinzinger an "unemployed fraud" and accusing him of disgracing the country while disrespecting those around him.

They said:

“Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud. 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.”

The spokesperson's response referenced an incident where Kinzinger supposedly "farted on live TV," though it's unclear which specific televised moment was being alluded to. However, it harked back to the internet's reaction in 2019 to what sounded like a flatulent noise during a live MSNBC interview with California Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell known as "Fartgate." But Swalwell is very much not Kinzinger.

Many online were disgusted to hear about Trump's odor, but were not surprised.



This is the second time in the last month that a prominent figure has brought up Trump's signature odor.

During her appearance on The Mary Trump Show podcast in November, comedian Kathy Griffin left Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, taken aback after Griffin delved into her encounters with Trump during her guest appearances on his reality show The Apprentice, pinpointing what she described as a distinctive scent emanating from the former President.

She vividly recalled a scent reminiscent of body odor coupled with "scented makeup products," noting the detectable aroma of hair products even outdoors.

Mary Trump grimaced at the revelation though she noted that if someone made a candle with that smell, it "would fly off the shelves" in time for Christmas.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
