Apparently, someone on the Trump team got a whiff of Kinzinger's tweet from almost a week ago and felt the urge to the respond to the slanderous charge that he has bad body odor, "truly something to behold." As is so often the case, they just made matters worse, becoming the subject of ridicule on Twitter, where #TrumpSmells/#TrumpStinks were the #1 trending topic in America on Friday.
And they say that politics isn't an edifying spectacle.

Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican representative, encouraged people to ‘wear a mask’ when they’re in the presence of former president Donald Trump due to his apparent odor.
Mr Kinzinger, a vocal critic of Mr Trump, took to his Twitter account this week to insinuate that the former president possesses a strong smell.
“I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor,” Mr Kinzinger wrote earlier this week.
“It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can,” he added.
The accusation garnered a lot of attention on the platform, with many mocking the former president for his alleged smell.
When reached for comment about the accusation, a spokesperson for Mr Trump returned the insult to Mr Kinzinger.
“Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud,” the spokesperson said in a statement provided to The Independent.
