Uncovering the Scent of Controversy: Kathy Griffin on Donald Trump’s Distinct Aroma
Imagine sitting down for a chat and the conversation takes a turn towards the olfactory experiences of being near a former president. Well, that’s exactly what happened when comedian Kathy Griffin joined Mary Trump on her podcast. Griffin, known for her sharp wit and no-holds-barred humor, shared a personal anecdote about her encounters with Donald Trump that might just tickle your funny bone—or your nose.
The Aroma of the Apprentice
During her time as a guest on the “Apprentice,” Griffin got up close and personal with the business mogul. She reminisced about a “distinct smell” that seemed to be a blend of body odor and scented makeup products. “It’s quite the combination,” she quipped, “and you can even catch a whiff of the hair products in the open air!”
Donald Trump’s Scent in the Spotlight
As the niece of the former president and a vocal critic, Mary Trump couldn’t help but grimace at the description. However, Griffin was quick to reassure her, “Don’t make that face! I’m just being honest.” The exchange, captured in a video by Mediaite, shows the lighter side of their conversation about the often polarizing figure of Donald Trump.
A Fragrance That Could Light Up the Room?
With a touch of humor, Mary Trump suggested that her uncle’s unique scent could be the next big thing in home fragrances. “Imagine a scented candle with that aroma,” she joked, “It would be a hit during the holiday season!” This playful banter comes in the wake of Donald Trump capitalizing on his own image, even fundraising off a mug shot from his arrest in Georgia related to the 2020 election.
And let’s not forget, Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop has set a precedent with their provocatively named candles. So, who’s to say a ‘Trump-scented’ candle couldn’t be the next viral sensation?
