“What did it smell like specifically?” Kimmel asked.
“So, if you take, like, armpits, ketchup, makeup and a little butt, it’s probably like that, all mixed up,” he said.
“That’s the Trump formula?” Kimmel said.
“A little bit of a pungent odor, I would say,” he said. “You definitely wouldn’t want to bottle it up and wear Trump cologne.”
Kinzinger said people around Trump are scared to talk about it, but he added that it was obvious ― and that he got a whiff himself more than once.
Kinzinger had raised a stink last year when he tweeted that he was ” genuinely surprised” that more people close to Trump haven’t commented on the alleged odor.
“It’s truly something to behold,” he tweeted on X. “Wear a mask if you can.”
Comic Kathy Griffin last year also said Trump doesn’t pass the sniff test, saying the former president had a “distinct smell.”
