Some here have said that Trump's hygiene shouldn't be fair game, others are really enjoying the prospects of.....

......turning this into a meme, if not a campaign issue. My take is that Trump is a pant load figuratively, so if he's also one literally, we should encourage widespread discussion of this, another on his vast list of personal failings. Particularly when the cause of this problem turns out to years of cocaine and Big Macs, as explained by someone who worked on "The Apprentice".

I doubt this has any value as a campaign issue itself. Few people are likely to have been close enough to have an independent, fact based opinion. I suspect that many on our side will at least think it possible. Few, if any, on their side will believe it just because it trends on X. Anyone pushing it on our side may diminish their credibility on things where we actually have facts on our side,

Consider how much credence you would give to a twitter rumor saying the same of Bide, who admittedly looks far more neatly dressed and fitter.

The rational reasons don't work. The facts don't work. I am absolutely sick and tired of taking the high road and playing with gloves on. If they bring brass knuckles, we bring brass knuckles. We're fighting against Genocide Joe from a generation that isn't sure the Holocaust happened.

If it takes making a mockery of Trump in any way, be it his smell, his huge butt when he's golfing, his combover hair, his orange face... And the fact that he's not as rich as Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates and Musk... Bring it on.

I'm going to give trump a compliment for the first time.

If it were me audibly shitting in public whenever I got mad, I would never leave the house.

Everything would be ordered online and I would never leave my house again.

For someone to not only leave the house but be running for fucking president and giving speeches all over the damn place while that is going on? And it really doesn't make sense considering the information we've been given about how worried he is about what people think about him. Perhaps because he's surrounded by yes wo/men, it never occurred to him that people might feel a certain way about his loose bowels? Or maybe he thinks it's normal? I have no idea.

So I guess the compliment is that he's got a lot of nerve. I'm not even sure it's a compliment but whatever.

He has no compassion for ANYONE, and yet he feels he has the right to challenge anyone who doesn't kiss his ring.

He deserves no less than he dishes out.

A foul individual in every sense of the word. Suck it up, Donnie lots more to come.

This reminds me of an old description I haven't considered since 1969.

"He has a fecal impaction of the optic nerve." Does anyone want to translate this?

You get this when you put a group of military medics together when off duty in a barracks gathering with a case of beer....or two.

Perhaps even Marla and Tiffany. They seem to fly well under the radar for the most part, and shouldn't be part of the conversation.

Everything else is fair game as far as I'm concerned: his looks, weight, mental capacity, body odor, even his present wife and other three children. Everything. I don't feel particularly charitable when it comes to Trump.
