They let a convicted felon travel to their country?
Only poor people wear black suits (he thinks to himself).
Thank god it wasn’t tan.
The tan suit had mustard stains on it, otherwise…
For those not appearing to get it, Trump allowed his sycophants to berate Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit in his White House meeting. Folks are treating Trump’s attire faux pas accordingly.
More than that, Trump isn’t in the middle of actively fighting a fucking war, and a funeral has one single, solitary wardrobe expectation: wear black.*
Even if not for that utter dumpster fire of a press conference, I also remember the fuss made about Obama’s tan suit that he just happened to wear during a televised event (which was not a funeral). On every level, this clown deserves mockery.

You’re not wrong. I put special instructions (Canadian Tuxedo) in my will.
Bringing up the suite on live TV was so cringe. Vance is such a little weasel.
That being said. He should probably wear a suit. It just looks a little silly in that environment not to. I get the “war general” look when he’s in Ukraine. I just think if you’re gonna go do diplomacy you should also look the part.
Now, do I want him to wear a suit now? Fuck no. Now I want him showing up in jeans and a sleeveless tee out of spite.
Remember when Obama rocked that tan suit yall?
This was not an accident. First, it gets him to stand out from the crowd, draw all the attention to himself, and make it all about him which is what he lives and breathes for. Second, it gets the media to focus on something other than him eliminating due process, having judges arrested, using the DOJ to attack perceived enemies, deporting US citizens, and completely ignoring court rulings while those who have the power to stop it sit back and either do nothing or actively support it.

I didn’t see the clown makeup until you mentioned it; but that’s what it is, isn’t it? The circus continues.
He could have worn a black suit with a MAGA hat. Same result, but much more dignified.
He had no intention of being dignified. He does what he does because it gets him the attention he seeks. If he showed up dignified, he wouldn’t be the center of attention.
Honestly, now that we’re literally sending people to concentration camps, I have zero fucks to give about this superficial bullshit. No one gives a shit about what Hitler wore at the '36 Olympics, and no one’s gonna care what this asshole wore to a funeral.
It’s purely to be on the attack. Republicans showed for the last fifteen years if you’re performatively aggressive against the opposition eventually you get what you want.
You don’t have to hate Trump or his suit color. Just love democracy and socialism and the working class. If this gets some apolitical conservative people to not vote for the Republicans then awesome.
The thing was that they resorted to the tan suit and terrorist first bump bullshit because Obama gave them so little to work with. For Trump you didn’t need to waste everyone’s time when his administration is ignoring court orders, arresting judges, declaring warrants and due process unnecessary, and tanking the economy.
The tan suit stuff may have helped energize the base by preaching to the choir, but everyone else found it ridiculous and made them skeptical of conservative media. When you are inundated nearly daily with real terrible stuff, no need to undermine credibility by latching into this sort of fluff.
Probably Hugo Boss if I had to guess.
This is the sort of news that does nothing but bring attention away from real problems. Blame these idiots for being a bunch of liars and criminals (including the pope) not for wearing the wrong suit color.
Exactly, and every other post is like that.
Look what stupid thing Musk or Trump did!
Boring and annoying.
Petty libs venting their frustrations online while doing nothing IRL
Yeah, it’s the suit that’s embarrassing, not the “239 lbs” of rancid garbage sloshing around inside.
No fucking way he’s less than 250lbs
That’s why they put it in quotes. During his first term his personal doctor listed Trump’s weight at 239, which everyone with at least one functioning eyeball knows is complete horseshit. But naturally he lies about that like he lies about everything else
Both
How did he even get an invite?
Probably paid for it, like his Nobel nomination.
Excuse me what nomination?
Oh come on, tan suit again? You’re better than this, people
We’re living in a fascist dictatorship. If making fun of Trump for his blue suit makes Republicans lose in the midterms that’s all that matters. Anyone who seriously believes suit color matters at a funeral is living in a state of self-inflicted misery.
It doesn’t matter, the hypocrisy matters.
No one cares about hypocrisy enough to change their vote. Besides Obama’s tan suit didn’t matter then, Fox News needed their daily sound bite, and Trump’s blue suit doesn’t matter now, we need a sound bite today. But if anyone is being hypocritical it’s Fox for not being outraged over Trump. And of course the Republicans and MAGA do not care. It was always about having another controversy to use as a wedge against Obama to gain political power.
Trump knows criticism of any kind is bad for him. That’s why he references the Tds, Trump derangement syndrome, in his rallies. When he runs out of things to blame Obama and Biden for he can just blame the people who don’t vote for him. He knows it keeps his base happy, makes him look good to Republican voters, and that he was never getting Democrats or leftists to vote for him. The Democrats really need to learn that last one, but about Republicans.
Ok we won’t talk about anything that doesn’t change votes three years from now.
I guess we won’t talk about anything.
First, hypocrisy is not a worthwhile criteria for an idea. We should judges ideas independently of the people espousing them. People who practice what they preach can practice awful, harmful, and useless ideas and people who don’t practice what they preach can preach great, helpful, and useful ideas.
Second, plenty of things change votes. And I guess anything, even hypocrisy might change someone’s vote on something. But it clearly didn’t with this case about the blue suit with Republicans.
But making fun of Trump might make him seem that much less based to some of the people who casually vote for candidates and if that translates into some fractional change in votes against Republicans it will have been worth it.
Not really equivalent situations. Obama wearing a tan suit wasn’t in a context that demanded a specific wardrobe.
This whole thing is stupid.This guy is not the president of the United States.
No, he’s the future King of England, and also, like Trump, not a Catholic, there’s a link here.
Apparently the dress code is dark suit + black tie. So this is fine. Trump’s tie was blue
Joe Biden, however, is a Catholic
He’s like school in the summer time. No class.
Main character syndrome.
