TikToker triggers memefest as he claims Trump was kicked out of Steakhouse in '80s due to 'offensive smell'
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: A TikTok video has gone viral, where a user named @bestofajack04 shared an experience of former President Donald Trump allegedly being asked to leave a Manhattan steakhouse in the '80s because of his body odor.
While MEAWW cannot confirm the claims made by the TikToker, as per the video, multiple tables complained about the unpleasant smell fuelling rumors about Trump's alleged odor issues.
The hashtag #TrumpSmells and its variations have recently gained popularity on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), as numerous individuals have shared their experiences of unpleasant encounters with Trump in the past.
I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor.

It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can
The trend was initiated by former Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), who wrote on X, “I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor. It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can.”
What did the TikToker reveal in the viral video?
“Years ago I posted about Trump being kicked out of Keens Steakhouse in Manhattan, where I was eating with my father in 1983 because his smell was so offensive,” the TikToker alleged.
“This wasn’t an elderly thing – it was 1983. I wouldn’t make fun of Trump today if it was an elderly thing. That’s not what we do on the Left. It happens to elderly people. Trump wasn’t elderly,” he clarified.

The TikToker then described how the incident supposedly occurred, “We didn’t complain. The table next to him complained and the table behind him complained. We smelled it, but my father and I didn’t complain about it. Trump was not elderly. The smell was so f**king offensive that they finally had to ask him to leave, and he did leave, quietly, right by us, and then wafted us.”
He concluded the TikTok by saying, “Trump’s been sh**ting all over himself for almost 30 f**king (years).”
Recently, an anti-Trump PAC named ‘The Lincoln Project', released an ad targeting the former President, trying to capitalize on the social media firestorm surrounding the hashtag #TrumpSmells.

On Saturday, December 23, the anti-Trump organization tweeted the ad to X (previously Twitter) with the phrase "Is that you Donald?" with the hashtag #TrumpSmells.
The 40-second film mocks Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner in 2024, with a series of obnoxiously smelly sights such as garbage dumps, animal feces, soiled diapers, and stale cheese.

Comedian Kathy Griffin offered a similar insight on Mary Trump’s podcast, who is Donald Trump’s niece, by relation. "Donald has a distinct smell that doesn’t get enough press,” she said, describing it as “like body odor with kind of like scented makeup products.”
Former Apprentice staff member and comedian, Noel Casler, has also been claiming for years that Trump's incontinence and foul odor were a common concern on the set of the former President's reality show, per a report by MeidasTouch.

There are medications for that.
Another X user alleged: "The recurring theme I get with these is that he has no control over his bowels and hasn't since the 1980s. That's pretty common with substance abuse."
