        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

    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.

    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.

    Just one in my lifetime I wanna see the rapists, the convicted felons, the wannabe gangsters elected to office, the people linked to Jeffrey Epstein, the presidents who put personal interest before country, the tactless lying connen grifters and the orange buffoons leave this plane before the good men with some semblance of balance, tolerance, moderation and compassion.

    Just once in my lifetime.

      Not really equivalent situations. Obama wearing a tan suit wasn’t in a context that demanded a specific wardrobe.

    Don’t try to shame 47, he has no shame. I can’t even watch the UK office because of second hand cringe, but he would probably take notes
