9. Adam Kinziger, IIRC

Said so, based on personal experience.

Adam Kinzinger said that the former president has a distinct smell of "armpits, ketchup, a butt and makeup" put into a blender, as if it has been bottled "as a cologne." He added, per the independent news network Meidas Touch: "That's kind of that. I've been amazed that everybody is just kind of learning about this now." Newsweek has as yet been unable to verify Kinzinger's claims.

Kinzinger's opinions kicked off a row earlier this month when he tweeted about Trump's smell on X, formerly Twitter. "I'm genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven't talked about the odor," Kinzinger wrote on December 16. "It's truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can." Newsweek has approached representatives for Trump via email for comment on Friday.
