Reports from the courtroom drama involving Donald Trump have taken an unexpected turn as claims about his personal scent have emerged. Ben Meiselas, co-founder of MeidasTouch and owner of Los Angeles Magazine, made waves with his assertion that Trump’s presence in the legal proceedings is accompanied by a distinctly unpleasant odor, allegedly emanating from the former president himself.
Meiselas, citing sources within the courtroom, described Trump’s flatulence as particularly pungent, to the extent that it has reportedly repulsed even his own legal team. This revelation has added a bizarre twist to the ongoing legal saga, prompting a wave of reactions on social media.
Legal commentator George Conway corroborated these claims, further fueling the discussion surrounding Trump’s courtroom aroma. Meanwhile, social media platforms such as X have been abuzz with reactions ranging from amusement to derision.
The emergence of this peculiar detail adds a new layer to the already contentious legal battle involving Trump, underscoring the extent to which his personal demeanor continues to capture public attention.
Read some of the comments on X below:
Meiselas: What I’m hearing from credible sources is that Donald Trump is actually farting in the courtroom… I’m hearing it from actual credible people that as he’s kind of falling asleep, he’s actually passing gas and that his lawyers are really struggling with the smell. pic.twitter.com/wa6F3iRDgX

I heard this too. I’m not kidding. The court’s going to have to issue more than a gag order here. https://t.co/hqFneiSwib

He is gassing the jurors.
That’s assault.

It’s not just gas he’s passing. He is incontinent from decades of drug use.

This is not news. #DiaperDon wears diapers & craps himself constantly.. he ruined his bowels from years of drug abuse. @noelcalser worked with him on the Apprentice and has talked in detail about #DiaperDon & his stench. @AreMond2 @StephenAtHome @jimmykimmel

His legal team knew Trump was toxic. Just desserts.

We all know Trump won’t be able to comment on this story. Not because of the gag order (I’m sure everyone in the courtroom is gaging), but because there’s no way to spin smelling like ass. When he was caught sleeping he lied and said he was praying. How does he respond?
