I ordered the wrong uniform length once when I needed them on the road. they were CRAZY too long, and I had no sewing kit or access to anything. So I stapled them. Worked as a temporary fix.
The explanation for the ill-fitting suits seems to be that he doesn’t have them tailored to fit, but how do you explain the overly long ties? I think men’s neckties come in a standard length and it’s a matter of tying them and adjusting the length of the wide front part versus the narrow back part to get the right length. (And that’s all stuff I learned as a teenager, from my father.) So why are his ties so long? Did his father never teach him that stuff?
This. People are reluctant to bash her because she’s pretty. They can’t get past the surface. Same with Ivanka. To me it’s a whole 'nother layer of evil–they use their looks to get an underserved edge.
I’m so over slagging on Trump, it’s a pig-wrestle anymore: you just get filthy and tired, and the pig likes it.
I strongly suspect what she meant by this was:
“What’s wrong with how he dresses? I think he always looks white.”
He has the rest of the material from John Constantine’s ties.
Now if only Constantine would send Trump to hell…
It’s like the MAS*H episode where Hawkeye and BJ kept changing Winchester’s pants to make him think he had lost of gained weight. Trump now thinks he’s The Incredible Shrinking Man.
My father never taught me how to tie my necktie, and I doubt that Poppa Trump ever loved Young Donald enough to teach him, either. But I figured out on my own how to do it properly, because I am not A Moron.
“What’s wrong with how he dresses? He’s rich. He must know better than you do.”
It would have to be tape; nobody trusts him with sharp objects.
Are Donald Trump’s Ties So Long Because He Thinks They Make Him Look “Thinner”?
Warning: There’s a comparison photo of Trump in a suit and in golf clothes.
And, Trump claims to be 6’3 and only 230 lbs. Coincidentally, this is just under the BMI threshold for being obese.
Pray no one tells him about chopines.
Oh no, pray that they DO. I almost never watch video of Trump, but I’d certainly watch him trying to teeter around on those things, thinking that it makes him look tall and handsome.
must be clip-ons
Here’s a photo of Trump with Alex Rodriguez, who really is 6’3". Alex is hunched over a little, but he could still conveniently use the top of Trump’s head as a drink stand. From the way that thing on top of Trump’s head has mutated over the years, that pic was probably taken quite some years ago. Trump has probably further shrunk since then, as we all do with age.
Sorry, it was tennis shorts. I still wish I hadn’t seen it.
This. I don’t have a link offhand but there are shots where he’s obviously wearing one. There’s a characteristic bulkiness.
I don’t know the lady, but a great many people just don’t know how clothes are supposed to fit. I harp about this once or twice a year so I guess I’m due; we, at least in North America, are the worst-dressed people in the modern history of Western civilization. A great many people exclusively, or almost exclusively, wear essentially disposable clothes, and many people almost never wear clothes that actually fit them correctly and have literally no knowledge as to how to select clothes that fit properly. That has NOT always been the case; when people couldn’t own as many clothes, they were more attentive to acquiring clothes that fit well and looked good. It is common for grown men and women, ones with otherwise functional lives and jobs and everything, to leave their houses and go about in public wearing things that within our lifetimes you would never have worn in public. I’m not talking about new styles, trends or fads; I mean stuff that isn’t a style at all.
So I think it quite possible that a great many people don’t see that Trump’s suits don’t fit because they do not know how clothes fit. They just see a guy in a jacket and tie and think “that is a suit and suits are nice.”
True. And I’ve always loved the old Punch cartoon from the WWII home front:
Imperious Woman: “I’m from the National Reclamation Board! What do you do with your old clothes?”
Meek Little Man: “I fold them carefully, hang them over a chair, and put them on again in the morning.”
Oh, she dresses fine. Not rich and fancy, but appropriate to her age and size (which is probably at most a medium, so she doesn’t wear like slinky teen clothes). I can’t remember her wearing anything that ever made me snicker, and alllll of her many siblings do. They can’t get together without one of them making me think “Time to see the eye doctor.”
She’s blinded by loyalty. I wish I could just chalk it up to a difference of opinion or ignorance.
And ok, I’ll grant you that some people don’t inherently know that baggy, long suits are bad, but I’m not budging on the taped ties.
