Political sparks are flying as The Lincoln Project, a group against Donald Trump, drops a spicy ad that not only critiques his policies but also throws shade at his alleged scent.
According to the Independent on Sunday (December 24, 2023), the ad, named ‘Limburger’ after the pungent cheese, dives into recent claims suggesting Trump has a unique smell.
Former GOP rep Adam Kinzinger set the stage, tweeting, Surprised people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor. It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can. This sparked a social media storm, leading The Lincoln Project to seize the moment with a video ad.
