I wish that Donald Trump and all his descendants suddenly grow taste buds throughout their lower intestine and anus, so that they are constantly and inescapably tasting their own shit. (sh.itjust.works)

And that it's genetic, so that it's passed down to all his descendants; and that all people who marry into the family also have it happen to them

It's too late, someone already got their wish millennia ago. You just can't actually taste with them. https://askabiologist.asu.edu/taste-outside-mouth

Taste buds, not just taste receptors.

I think a similar issue might still apply if they're not connected properly to the taste processing centre in the brain. In fact, it might increase absorption in the gut with the extra surface area. So maybe they'd be able to pull more nutrition from their diet but end up a little more constipated.
