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.”

    As funny as this is, The Lincoln Project wants to turn neoliberal democrats into DINO republicans since the GOP have been turning from neoconservativism into full on right wing dictators since the war on terror. They need the trickle down classic and the founder tried sucking up to AOC by saying he can be trusted because he believes in tipping the bartender.

      You can be happy with the Lincoln Project for attacking Trump and still not support them…

      Yep. They do seem to know their target audience with this one, though - the con brain reacts to “gross” things more than normal brains do. So by telling the cons about StinkyDon is probably going to work on a few of them.
