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.”

    Trump is not the endgame, the voters behind him are and they do not change

    They do not change because the propaganda that separates them from seeing others as equal fellow human beings is not changing. The propaganda keeps its consumers’ own fears and angers stoked and ready to point wherever it is wanted at the moment, and uses known tactics to do so.

    It’s an ongoing problem because the emotions, and the propaganda that keeps them outraged, is always there, always on, always pushing those emotive buttons – and we allow the purveyors of this media to do so legally.

    Our judiciary, which has had multiple opportunities to regulate “news” that is not news at all by requiring it to self-label as entertainment or hold itself to actual journalistic standards, has repeatedly declined to do so.

    Stop the foreign-paid propaganda and “news” and a LOT of this shit crawls back under the rock whence it came.
