    A fashion icon. . . . as what? an example of what not to do?

    I’m not the most fashionable person in the world, but even I know how to wear a tie.

      Most of the time, he just wears a dark suit. It isn’t bad style or good style. It’s just default for a politician/businessman.

      Maybe Stephen Miller can tell the difference between one dark suit and another, but Trumps’ style and Biden’s style both look pretty much the same to me- guy in dark suit.

        Except Biden has the basic sense of taste to have his suits tailored to fit him.

        Trump’s too cheap to pay for that, so he buys his off the rack and wears them as is. Or maybe he likes the billowy feel of dresses but can’t bring himself to wear one, idk.

          Biden also makes at least the bare minimum effort to stay active for a man his age, so form-fitting is naturally going to complement him more. Trump on the other hand eats everything within arm’s reach that he’s not planning to throw at someone in a fit of rage.

            Honestly, I would say that biking over age 80 is going above the minimum effort to stay active.

            The most effort Trump has ever put into anything is dodging accountability for his crimes.

          I think Trump isn’t too cheap to have them tailored. He is probably in a place with his body shape that a closely tailored suit would be very uncomfortable, so he gets them made bigger to both be comfortable and to hide how bad his shape is. He might also be stuck in the style mindset of the late 90s early 00s but won’t listen to anyone who tries to give him new fashion advice.

        It’s the fit of the suit and how the outfits are put together that separates them. And Biden does both better. Trump’s suits are cut too big (probably for a reason), making him look slovenly. His ties are not always tied well, either.
