Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that #TrumpSmells as Kevin McCarthy covering his nose Donald Trump body odor goes viral on Twitter.
The hashtag #TrumpSmells quickly skyrocketed to the top trending topic in the United States on X after Donald Trump’s team threw a stink over claims that the ex-president and criminal defendant has an “odor” that is “truly something to behold.”
Months after a humiliating vote by his own party to oust him as speaker of the House, longtime GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy is days away from exiting Congress on Dec. 31, leaving confusion over who is eligible to run for his seat in a conservative Central Valley district.
A dozen people have jumped into the race, but McCarthy’s chosen Republican successor was barred from the ballot and on Friday sued the California secretary of state in an attempt to reverse the decision. Giddy Democrats are sending out fundraising emails saying McCarthy’s protege will “be mired in legal challenges for weeks.” Bakersfield locals are grumbling about the chaos. Political professionals are aghast at the mess.
The statement that initiated the recent chain of events came from former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who wrote, “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.”
As the claims of Trump’s putrid odor went viral, others chimed in to confirm Kinzinger’s claims.
Comedian Kathy Griffin told Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, that her Uncle Donald smelled “like body odor with kind of like scented makeup products.”
Griffin added, “Donald has a distinct smell that doesn’t get enough press.”
The claims soon sparked outrage from Trump world. It’s hardly the succession plan expected for McCarthy, who built his power over two decades as a masterful tactician of electoral politics who helped Republicans win control of the House in the pivotal 2010 election and again in 2022.
McCarthy climbed the ranks by recruiting candidates, studying political maps and raising money. When conservative commentator Fred Barnes predicted in 2010 that McCarthy would become speaker some day, he wrote, “He’ll be fixated on how to win more elections, more often.”
But after McCarthy announced his retirement in early December, his allies in Bakersfield popped a series of surprises.
