    No, I don’t think stories like this have anything to do with trying to convince voters to not vote for Trump because he smells bad. There’s a pretty strong smear campaign going against him right now, and he doesn’t realize that he’s the critical piece to the campaigns success. Every time he insists that he isn’t weird, or insists that he doesn’t smell, suddenly half of the shit that he’s talking about ends up being trying to defend his image on the public stage. The reason that silly little things like “he smells like ass, ketchup, makeup, w.e” are actually important right now is that Trump might see it. Someone related to Trump might see it, and suddenly the thought is living rent free in their brain.

    Trump can’t help himself, he has to respond. What kind of strong leader spends all their time whining about what other people are saying? He could smell like a fucking dumpster as long as he leads the country correctly, no?

    Not only that, if they aren’t Trump, they could probably make money off of interviews about whatever other weird shit surrounds Trump. It’s a strategy that makes them (Magats and Trump) start to point fingers at one another, and honestly that’s exactly what needs to happen if we want to prevent a conservative win in November.

      Smear campaign? He is and always has been the smear. The dude is incredibly vile in every way possible and always has been.
