Who has the worst hygiene?
Former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL-Ret.), who has been a staunch critic of the 45th president, aired the first unfiltered shot at former President Donald Trump on social media — claiming in-person he reeked.
"I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor,” reads the post from the former lawmaker who retired in 2021 and since become a CNN political analyst. “It’s truly something to behold."
Without explaining the specifics of Trump's alleged stench, he warned anybody coming within his personal space to take cover.
"Wear a mask if you can," he added.

A spokesperson for Trump's campaign sent a response to The Independent, letting it be known that the source of the claims has smelly issues of his own.
"Adam Kinzinger farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud,” according to the statement provided to the outlet. “He has disgraced his country and disrespects everyone around him because he is a sad individual who is mad about how his miserable life has turned out.”
Comedian Kathy Griffin appearing on a podcast hosted by Trump's niece, Mary Trump, in mid-November remembered the ex-POTUS smelling “like body odor with kind of like scented makeup products.”
“Donald has a distinct smell that doesn’t get enough press,” Griffin, who appeared as a guest on Trump's hit TV show "The Apprentice," said at the time of the interview.
