Fresh claims about US President Donald Trump have spread rapidly online after a viral social media post alleged that Fox News staff secretly used Vicks VapoRub under their noses while interviewing him because of an overwhelming smell. The accusation, which included graphic descriptions comparing Trump's odour to 'roast beef diarrhea', triggered widespread reactions across X and reignited long-running rumours surrounding the president's hygiene.
Despite the viral attention, there is no evidence that the alleged memo exists. The claim originated from a satirical social media account known for publishing fabricated political stories, and no credible news organisation has verified the allegation. While criticism and speculation about Trump's alleged body odour have circulated for years, the latest story has been widely dismissed as fictional.
