There’s a photo of Donald Trump from last weekend that I can’t stop thinking about. It’s from the Easter service in Palm Beach, where he’s standing between Tiffany and his wife, Melania, an odd sight for sure. I assume Melania is saying, “Do you two know each other?” But that’s not even the compelling part.

The really compelling part is that his pant legs are enormous. They’re each roughly the circumference of a healthy toddler’s head. They could fit comfortably around The Rock’s thighs—an image no one wanted to consider, but in the name of this investigation, we must. The angle of the photo makes it even more dramatic, with the grass hiding the president’s feet, shortening his overall frame and terminating his body at a wide point. Even so, those hems do not lie.

Per widely accepted lore, Trump buys expensive suits, but doesn’t have them tailored to fit his body. In 2004’s Trump: Think Like a Billionaire, “he” wrote, “I wear Brioni suits, which I buy off the rack.” Hope Hicks once confirmed that he bought Brioni suits and also wore Martin Greenfield Clothiers. Both are companies willing and able to set a man back many thousands of dollars, and yet the bagginess of it all gives the look a discount feel.

One may be able to distill an entire worldview from a self-professed billionaire’s choice to forego tailoring an expensive suit, but I’m wondering if there’s something far more nefarious afoot—something that, if proven, could impact the course of this American experiment forever: are the president’s pant legs getting wider?

1. Perhaps He's Making Room For A Urinary Catheter...

that's strapped to his leg.

[TreasonousBastard]

2. When I saw that, I thought put on a plaid jacket and you got Lou Costello.

[Mike Nelson]

3. Sometimes...

...people lose control over their bowel/bladder. He could be wearing containers to collect that stuff...

[Frustratedlady]

4. Looks like Tiffany did a quick turn-up to her hem, as well.

I'm sure that Ivanka has him dressed in the latest style, even though it may look yucky. Love the Costello comment.

No matter what he puts on, it will look dorky. Surprised to see they are holding hands...not that it means much.

8. i noticed tiffany"s hem also

5. That is an ill-fitting suit.

If you were to ask Little Donnie Trump, I'm sure he'd say something like, "believe me, they have to contain my enormous "manhood", and it's getting bigger all the time, believe me".

We already know by the size of his tiny little 'hands" that he's hung like a gerbil, so that explanation is completely out of the question. I think it may be a question of something that's growing, but it's not his "manhood". Little Donnie is getting very big around the midsection. Big enough so the folds are sagging down lower and lower all the time. Having them tailored would take some time, and as busy as he is (tweeting, having "executive" time, golfing, eating, and flying around the nation for his campaign speeches), there's little time to spare. Either that or he's shopping for suits at the Men's Wearhouse (buy one, get one free!) now. His reported net worth is supposedly severely inflated and he might have to cut corners on his clothing budget.

A man of Trump's substantial size should only buy bespoke suits. Otherwise he's going to look like a gigantic rabid groundhog in a 100 lb. burlap bag, trying to find a way out.

Trump's image of himself is seriously distorted. I don't know what he sees when he looks in a mirror, but it has no connection to reality whatsoever.

6. Is he trying to bring back the 'zoot suit'? n/t

[Laffy Kat]

7. But wouldn't tailors alter a suit to fit for free?

It's terrible advertising to have that expensive a suit look so ill-fitted. Weird. Remember our last Prez who looked crisp in everything he wore? Sniff, sniff.

9. His ass and gut have increased in size over the years,

but his legs are probably the same size as when he played basketball in school.

I'm fortunate that I can still fit in nearly all of my clothes that I had when I left college thirty years ago. The bong lifting turned out to be great exercise!

[Demovictory9]

10. here is an older man in a properly fitted Brioni suit

[justgamma]

11. You can tell he fired Hope.

Can't find anyone to press his pants. Glad to see Melania being her normal bubbly, happy self. (As in ,ewww, he's touching me.)

[Demovictory9]

12. diff between a suit that fits and one that doesnt

[pansypoo53219]

13. male version of a kaftan for larger ladies. hides his fat ass. maybe explains the tie.

[Berlin Expat]

14. It's like

a muumuu, basically.

[Lulu KC]

16. Thanks for laugh n/t

[Timmygoat]

15. I do not understand

Why he walks around with that long overcoat flapping in the wind, and the hair flapping also.

[Nitram]

17. Suit looks at least 3 or 4 sizes too large.

I agree that a medical condition might explain it.

[3catwoman3]

18. He looks extremely unkempt.

Perhaps, because if his increasing girth, if the trousers were more tapered, it would only accentuate his outsized midsection and make him look rather like Tweedledum or Tweedledee.

(I'm trying hard to be polite, here - how'm I doing?)

[n2doc]

19. He's just going 80's retro

[Abu Pepe]

20. A few things

His "style" is stuck in the 80s and that decade's loose fitting clothes.

Furthermore, he is very overweight and getting more so.

21. They all look like they dressed from a thrift store.

I dress from the thrift store, I know what to buy. They do not.
