Social media users have speculated that Donald Trump produced a strong odor during the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham at Washington National Cathedral. Footage from the service shows a man seated behind the president appearing to struggle with an unpleasant smell.
Viral Clip Sparks Reactions
Journalist Aaron Rupar shared the video on X, writing: "Look at the guy behind Trump (who is asleep). It smells crazy back there." The clip prompted a wave of comments, with users making outrageous claims about the president. One person posted: "Even at Lindsey Graham's funeral, Donald Trump s***s his pants. The poor secret service agent behind him looks like he is going to die." Another added: "Oh man that dude sniffed deep there for a second. Probably burned out some taste buds there my dude." A fourth commentator wrote: "You know Trump smells something fierce when the guy behind him has to clench his teeth and nose to soften the odour."
White House Denies Nodding Off
The White House hit back against speculation that Trump had fallen asleep. Spokesperson Davis Ingle told the Independent: "President Trump was reflecting on the loss of his dear friend Lindsey Graham, who he just delivered a beautiful eulogy to. Anyone suggesting otherwise is a depraved moron." Trump, who last year became the oldest person to assume the presidency, has faced ongoing scrutiny over his health.
Health Claims from Physical Therapist
Physical therapist Adam James previously suggested Trump is "not going to be around much longer," claiming the president suffers from congestive heart failure and chronic kidney failure. James said: "I have just received a DM from a source who confirmed for me that the President consistently smells like urine because of his urinary incontinence." He added: "This is on top of his bowel incontinence that he's been famous for, for years. The source also states that the President is receiving daily IV medications. This explains why his hands bruise so frequently." James also stated: "Diuretics pull fluids off your body by acting on your kidneys and making you pee a lot more. This would explain why he is peeing all the time on himself and smells like pee."
