I don't even care if this is agitprop, it gave me a little chuckle and I'm in no position to deny myself a little joy

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

From a dominance-oriented right-wing “alpha male” point of view, that would be a bonus. A strong odour is a way of asserting dominance and marking territory, and personal hygiene is for betas.
His UK counterpart, Boris “Big Dog” Johnson, apparently had a habit of not changing his socks every day, to the point where it was noticeable. There’s something about people who see themselves as “alphas” imposing their odours on underlings.
I would imagine his diet could make him smell that way. From what I understand certain foods, like garlic, if consumed consistently for a period of time can make a person's sweat garlicky.
Insofar as I recall he eats fast food out of fear of being poisoned, chugs diet coke, and wears adult diapers, though the last one is rumor that is very likely true rather then well documented fact.
So with that diet and lifestyle in mind puzzle pieces start to come together.
He says it's out of fear of being poisoned, but he routinely tells incredibly obvious lies.
I think he just eats like the worlds most spoiled toddler because he wants to and picked the excuse with the most self-importance and bravado.
I can believe that none of the sycophants in Trump's orbit would tell him that he smells. Or any other kind of criticism, for that matter.
One does not simply criticize one's meal ticket.
So he's a 15 year old teen boy who doesn't use antiperspirant because he doesn't sweat or stink and he just took a shower two days ago how bad could it be?
Don't forget never flossing. I brushed my teeth! Then ate again and drank soda before bed. Huh? A water flosser blasts out half a ribeye and and other gunk even after brushing? Whatever, I'll just get another crown.

Sounds about right. That guy looks like the type that eats no real fruits and vegetables, nothing but the worst of the carnist/SAD selections. So, yeah....checks out.
I always figured he might be the type to slap on some anal gland secretions, oops, I mean, "cologne", to cover it up.

So that's what treason smells like.
