Some people recall Trump branded steaks, vodka and university. I don’t personally - I _have_ seen Trump-branded hotels, bars and neckties. Apparently, around 2006 Trump also released a cologne called _The Fragrance_. News to me - until today. What I am asking you to do is guess what this smelled like. Hair dye and chutzpah? Hot wax and butter? Special sauce? **Only you can answer this important question.** ---

To clarify, we are talking about the hypothetical _The Fragrance_. Not any actual person living or dead. Does Trump use _The Fragrance_? Doubtful. He doesn’t drink The Vodka. ---

He probably smells just like what you would expect … the malodorous putrescence of a monkey that has spent its entire life covered in its own shit, with heady musty overtones suggestive of a major infestation of mange. [![](https://i.imgur.com/m67G5Xe.jpg) ](https://i.imgur.com/m67G5Xe.jpg) ---

More likely he smells like any other man of his years, there is a certain “old person smell” that he might be exhibiting now, along with traces of hamburger grease and ketchup. ---

It’s a pungent mix of French fry grease, Aquanet hairspray, and the dried tears of a loveless childhood. (Whereas Bernie Sanders is a combo of black coffee, werther’s original candies, and aqua velva) ---

Well, in Britain, “trump” is the act of expelling digestive gasses ostentatious from the posterior orifice. So, like that. ---

I’ve been watching the Dahmer series on Neflix. You know when his next door neighbor lady can smell the odor coming from Jeff’s apartment through the vents? I imagine it’s something like that. Either that or the cafeteria at work, when they have to clean the grease trap once a year and this god-awful smell permeates the halls for the day? I imagine that’s what the Whitehouse smelled like for four years. ---
