He didn't even take orders or anything. They closed the restaurant for him.

I have a completely unrelated question. I'm probably late to the party asking this.

Why is his tie so long? My understanding is that the tie should end just above the belt. Not be a fucking scarf.

This pic just seems to make it obvious that it goes past the belt, almost to his pants zipper.

This was considered a "power tie" during an age where large, bulky, oversized formal wear was trendy and signified power.

When was that? The 80s? Because I entered the working world in the 90s and that sure wasn't true anymore.

That's how out of touch with 2024 he is, I guess.

Like his illfitting suit and his terrible make-up I'm fairly certain that he is convinced it looks best that way and he only surrounds himself with people that never contradict him for pretty much his entire life.

Presumably to compensate for an unusually short part of his body.

I like classic menswear a lot and the way Donald Trump dresses clearly give a sense of trying to look powerful.

His tie is way too large and look like it's made of polyester (the red color is garrish). The shirt is okay but he doesn't take care of his body so his body doesn't care about his style.

He never wears a pocket square which demonstrates a kind of utilitarian mindset? "Why accesorize and wear something personal and tasteful?"

Joe Biden feels much less like a power suit and more like how he dresses. He wears suits that fit him and dress for his body type: his clothes work for him and make his silhouette stand out! (It's a big part of how the shoulder are made on the jacket)

This kinda menswear is pretty beautiful when you master it, it's just a shame that it's associated with "power". It's more about beauty, craftsmanship, and personality for me than ridiculous formality. It's also a lasting investment (you don't buy a sport jacket every 2 months, it's more like every 5 years) and it will fit you well.

Hope that mentality will shift with time but those conservatives are not helping the suit have the image it deserves.

Jesus, he looks legitimately braindead.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

The guy's been sundowning for a decade now. He's barely cognizant anymore. He spent 16 minutes wandering his stage like a confused animal, recently.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Looks like he’s hating his life right now, questioning his choice to do this thing.

looks like somebody needs a diaper change!

He doesn't look as fat as I thought he would with his loose his suits are

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Notice how his apron has to have an extra belt?

Yeah. He doesn’t look as fat because he’s wearing a girdle.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago

I was going to say. Looks like he's wearing a girdle to me. Badly. His body would be a really weird shape otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

He's just covering his overloaded diaper.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Doesn't look fat? Dude, he has TWO sets of bitch tits

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I detect a hint of morbid curiosity that wants this strip show to continue

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

Don't worry, Trump will fight for the rights of corporations to pay working Americans as little as possible.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Slightly irrelevant but does anyone else think his eyes always somehow seem more shut? I wonder how he is able to see through the tiny gap that seems to be left.
