Trump Knew How To Fit A Tuxedo In 2016. What Happened?

[TrollBuster9090]

Trump showed up at the Alf Smith Charity Ball in a properly fitted white tie tuxedo. Tails at the knees, vest just below jacket in front. A LITTLE bit baggy, but otherwise fitted.



Then, in 2019 he shows up at Buckingham Palace dressed in a CLOWN SUIT. Jacket too small, vest too long, pants too big. WHAT HAPPENED? I can only imagine that his sense of reality (being able to tell what's normal from what's ridiculous) has deteriorated since then?

[greymattermom]

1. Maybe it's the same jacket.

over a longer vest. He thinks longer things hide his tummy.

[vlyons]

27. Yes, he's gotten fatter

so the outer coat doesn't fit anymore. He doesn't care to pay attention to details, or think ahead to make plans. So he probably didn't think to try on his formal wear, and at the last minute discovered that it no longer fit. His valet probably rented a larger vest for him. No doubt, Trump thought his sparkling personality was all that was required.

[forgotmylogin]

40. Yeah, I was going to reply "50 more pounds happened to him." (n/t)

[Skittles]

54. he has inflated along with his ego

[ginnyinWI]

31. Yes! And the sleeves were too long then, too. nt

[RockRaven]

2. I'm no fashion maven, but some of the criticisms of the clown suit apply to that pic too...

jacket sleeves too long, pants too baggy...

The most striking difference is the vest not being the total abomination it was this time around, but I'm pretty sure if you asked Savile Row tailors they would hate the 2016 outfit also.

[JI7]

3. he doesn't look right in that first pic either. but in the 2nd pic he has gained even more weight

and looks looks even worse.

[patricia92243]

4. Exactally the same coat with too long of sleeves. Way too long waistcoat added.

He is huge now compared to 2016.

[Journeyman]

5. Same guy charged with keeping him from embarrassing himself after he uses the loo . . .

is now his haberdasher.

[Midnight Writer]

6. It's not the suit on the man that counts. It is the man in the suit.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

7. Looks like he's severely pissed and knows he got punked or...

some of the suit pieces got swapped among his entourage and his people didn't have enough sense to notice....

Or, perhaps the Queen whispered "are you the doorman?" That would light him up.....

[JohnnyRingo]

8. A Priest, a president, and a pussy grabber walk into a bar...

...the bartender says drinks are on the house!
President Clinton orders a gin sling, the priest gets a red wine, and the pussy grabber says "I have too much class to drink alcohol, I'll take the money.".

[crazytown]

9. Buff

[trusty elf]

11. Ack, what an idiot.

I think he believes that scowling makes him look dignified.

That tux really showcases his burger-gut nicely!


Poor Queenie, look at the expression on her face!

[tblue37]

17. He thinks scowling makes him look like Winston Churchill. It's deliberate. nt

[smirkymonkey]

36. It doesn't. It just makes him look like a miserable, petulant little brat.

He doesn't have the accomplishments or gravitas to back up a look like that. He isn't fooling anybody.

[3catwoman3]

57. He doesn't just...

...look like a miserable, petulant little brat, he IS a miserable, petulant little brat.

He needs a 20 year time-out in the hoosegow.

[Hekate]

49. Along with the jut-jaw, the glower makes him look like Benito Mussolini...

And we all know the end of his story.

[Lars39]

23. Enlarged a bit, the photo

shows a somewhat pleased expression on her face. She was very aware of the photographer. 🙂

[Danascot]

24. If the Queen wasn't in the photo

I might suspect he'd eaten her.

[NYC Liberal]

59. He looks like The Penguin:

[DFW]

10. If you're going to put on fifty pounds

Maybe it's time to get refitted.

Maybe this time his tailor asked for payment up front, something Trump's personal finances didn't permit at this time.

[mnhtnbb]

12. The man clearly is not using a tailor.

Why not? He is clearly in need of one. Off the rack doesn't fit him. The job requires it. Why would he not use the services of a tailor?

My theory is that he's paranoid word will get out about the size of his equipment. A man's tailor knows. What possible reason could he have for not using the services of a tailor? The only other reason could be that he is so lacking in self awareness that he cannot comprehend how ridiculous he looks in ill fitting clothes. Now that I think of it, that is also highly possible.

[BigmanPigman]

13. There actually is a W House tailor and I read on DU earlier that he said

he never saw that outfit and has nothing to do with it. Obviously he is getting accused of being responsible for that fashion "don't".

[forgotmylogin]

41. Yes, it's outrageous that he has a staff responsible for grooming him.

And either doesn't give them a chance, or he's pissed them off enough that they don't care anymore.

Or, more likely, he's in denial about gaining weight and insisted he'd just wear the same jacket and picked out a longer waistcoat that would pull down completely over his blurb, which put it inches below the original tailcoat hem.

[BigmanPigman]

44. This disaster was his doing alone.

I wonder what he really sees when he looks in a mirror. He is a sick "thing" who should be in a padded room.

[Girard442]

14. This is exactly the same as, say, those open microphone incidents.

If your staff respects you and is loyal to you they'll go out of their way make sure that the mike doesn't stay on or that you're impeccably dressed, but if you abuse them and piss them off, they'll sit on their hands and let you make an total ass of yourself.

[tblue37]

18. Some good people also have open mic incidents. Obama did, for example. nt

[ginnyinWI]

33. he just can't be bothered.

He thinks he's such hot stuff that it won't matter.
He is in denial about the weight gain.
]He's too busy watching Fox News.
He's obsessing about all of the people out to discover his crimes.
He's in early dementia.
He won't listen to advice.

Any or all of the above.

[Croney]

15. I dunno, but the President wears her pink gown well.

[tblue37]

16. Jacket sleeves were too long in 2016, too. But I do think the over long 2019 waistcoat was

meant to hide his gut.

[trusty elf]

19. ...

[Blue_true]

51. I did a double take on the clown shoes. Nice touch!!! nt

[malaise]

20. It's the same outfit

but his gut is twice the size

[DeminPennswoods]

25. Yep

Comparing the 2016 and 2019 pictures, it's easy to see how much weight he's put on.

[FakeNoose]

28. Same outfit, except the white vest is 3 sizes larger

Maybe his pants are bigger too. (?) Chump made no effort to change anything else, and that's why it looks ridiculous.

[marble falls]

21. His mother dressed him that night.

[Pachamama]

22. For starters - Trump 2019 is about 75lbs+ heavier than Trump 2016...

[procon]

26. Looks like 100 lbs happened. nt

[struggle4progress]

29. Non compos mentis. He's getting along in years. He can't focus and rambles

He disguises his memory problems by fabulating

He's losing all sense of proportion and treats any disagreement as a vicious personal attack

He just wouldn't listen to any advice about that silly get-up

[yortsed snacilbuper]

30. hamberders

[DesertRat]

39. Plus two scoops. nt

[ismnotwasm]

32. I'm actually wondering if he has body armor under that

It’s so weird looking. Bet he’s terrified all the time when he can’t completely control the situation

[Sneederbunk]

34. Now he has to deal with the Deep State in the tailor shop.

[blueinredohio]

35. He took fashion advice from Ivanka.

[shanny]

37. Pants now belted below his gut?

which makes them way too long and baggy. Waistcoat extra long to cover that fact. Don't get why the tails are so short or the sleeves are so long.

[DesertRat]

38. Hey There Dreamboat! Not You, Shipwreck

[eppur_se_muova]

46. Those are both great ! nt

[NCjack]

42. Trump is just a commoner.

Trump knows that Prince Charles made him look, well, like a commoner. "Prince Charles' VERY impressive selection of accolades at State Banquet included more than 20 medals, two breast stars and his Order of the Bath Grand Masters badge."
[link:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7102599/Prince-Charles-wore-dozen-medals-state-banquet-mean.html|]
And what was on Trump's clown suit? Nothing.

Even his rumored beautiful, loving wife could not serve as effective counter-weight to Prince Charles' decorations.

We and Pres. Trump have to live with the fact that he is a commoner with no national service awards, if we don't count the secret ones being held for him in Russia.

[Brother Buzz]

43. Side note: the orange anus went of the rails speaking at that Alf Smith Charity Ball

The asshole has no governor

[Novice Patriot]

45. 2 1/2 years worth of Big Mac meal deals

Has added 25 to 30 lbs.

[eppur_se_muova]

47. His shoulders look like they belong to two different people.

What's with that ? Spinal curvature ?

[Hekate]

48. His brain has turned to mush while his temperament has remained the same. How DARE anybody...

...tell the Great and Glorious Trump that he now looks like a pathetic old man dressed up as a clown? He'll shout them all to oblivion if they dare, so they don't.

[machoneman]

50. Hey, if the guy hasn't seen his dick in 30 years, how could he know the vest was too long?

Seriously.

It could have also been his paranoid self that required a last-minute addition of a bullet-proof vest that caused the ill-fit.

[Eyeball_Kid]

52. Trumpy WANTED to look like a clown. It's just another way to give the finger to the Queen...

and all of us. He's a master at the optic, of marketing a brand, of selling a bill of goods. He's showing that, above all, he WILL get the center stage, even if he looks like an idiot, thumbing his nose against nobility and established wealth. Of course he's a criminal, but please allow for 10 parts crazy.

[ecstatic]

61. A part of me thinks that as well. But if true, he's truly

a lot more psychotic than I've imagined.

[secondwind]

53. He's not the same person anymore. There is

a demented psychopath in the White House today.

[demosincebirth]

55. Sitting on his ass tweeting, too much.

[Blue Owl]

56. The deep state tailors, man...

[Demovictory9]

58. i wish the person in pink was our president

[DesertRat]

60. Mystery Solved

[SMC22307]

62. Hillary looks gorgeous in that color.

Fat Nixon doesn't look as bad as he did in London, but he still looks bad -- sleeves too long and ridiculously baggy pants.

[Captain Zero]

63. He has put on weight

Belly weight. It was the best they could do with his PAUNCH. WE SHOULD CALL him Pauncho.
