I can’t imagine that it would take much effort to concoct a convincing argument that Trump is the antichrist. Considering the appeal of fake news among his supporters, it seems you could slip a few rumors into the mix. “Some people are saying …” It could be the left’s version of “Obama is a Muslim!” ---

Except that we will be kidding, for the most part. Big fan of my favorite Jew, but the lurid hallucinations of John of Patmos are sanctified batshit. ---

[GQ noticed.](http://www.gq.com/gallery/donald-trump-style-mistake-tie-too-long) > [@](#): > > The Donald, like all mega-rich super villains, basically has one outfit. He wears variations of the same traditional suit accented by an enthusiastic tie. He has done this forever. When the occasion calls for it, he loses the tie altogether but for the most part, he is marked by neckwear as loud and obnoxious as his own voice. What’s more, his ties are getting longer. And while we could speculate at the political or psychological reasons for this, he really just needs to choke-up. [So did Business Insider](http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-ties-2016-8) > [@](#): > > Presidential fashion is a low bar. It’s almost expected that the leader of the free world wear a somewhat boxy, boring suit in navy, black, or the occasional gray ([unless you’re Obama doing summer)](http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/08/obama-shows-off-sad-beige-suit-for-summer.html). Then you throw on a power tie in red or blue. > > “He’s no worse dressed than any of the others, because they are all on par with one another. His biggest mistake (besides the tan and hair) is the length of his tie,” said Jessica Cadmus, a personal stylist known as The Wardrobe Whisperer. > > “It’s ludicrous, and no one is pointing it out. It’s egregiously long,” Cadmus said. “My guess is that he buys Italian ties (which often are longer because Italians like to tie up a big knot) but then he ties a regular knot — probably a half Windsor.” > > A full Windsor, we should note, is the most common knot among the Wall Street set. According to Cadmus, “chumps tie a half Windsor.” They usually indicate that you are wearing a forward-point collar, and Wall Streeters tend to wear a spread collar. ---

Trump doesn’t tie his own neckties. Trump has PEOPLE for that. Which means he’s incapable of hiring a valet who knows how to tie a tie properly. And right now, he’s out shopping for our next Secretary of State. ---

Where IS Jeeves now that we need him so badly? He could have staved off the insult to China over Taiwan, gotten rid of the white dinner jacket, and made Trump throw away the banjolele all in one day. ---

True. That would be the challenge. Jeeves would have to play into DT’s narcissism. It would take a lot of manipulation, but I think Jeeves would be up to it. ---

> [@Exapno\_Mapcase](#): > > Shouldn’t the headline be “Loser Trump Declares He Will Be President to Minority of Population”? Didn’t Trump say he was going to be everyone president and then said he only traveling to states he won in . Yeah my brother in law is Black and my daughter is too and I know a Black guy , all 3 people aren’t feeling any love from Trump . I bet none of my Black friends would had embrace Trump , I am kind of jealous b/c they’re dead and don’t have to look at that disgusting orange face ! ---
