    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.

      not universal to all kinds of funeral ceremonies, I know. this, however, was one of those funerals.

        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.

    Yeah, it’s the suit that’s embarrassing, not the “239 lbs” of rancid garbage sloshing around inside.

        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

          Nah thanks, his pet names are lame and forgettable. I keep using Trump exactly to dehumanize the name and make the name synonymous with his failures. Using these makes only takes away from that.

          History must remember what a failure this man is, so I’d rather use that name.

    … and they had a never ending media fiasco for a president wearing a tan suit … and it didn’t have anything to do with a funeral or anything, a black president just decided one day to wear a tan suit!

    Meanwhile an orange president is given directions and suggestion as to what to wear to an international funeral for a prominent figure and he ignores all protocols because he is just that dense.

    He’s laughing at all of us because he’s thumbing his nose at the world to let everyone know he can do whatever he pleases without any regard for decency or respect … for himself, his country, the living or even for the dead.

      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.

          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.

              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.

      No, most of Trump’s supporters are idiots so you have to point out every miniscule little fuck up otherwise they will think that Trump is amazing.

    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.

        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.
