The fashion sense of Donald Trump is being called into question! On Monday, August 12, while he was conducting an interview with Elon Musk, the internet had a field day when they looked at some photos of Trump wearing a suit. These photos were posted on X, which was formerly known as Twitter. In one of the pictures, those shoulder pads stood out like a sore thumb.
"Look at the shoulder pads on the jacket tonight! Guy thinks he playing middle linebacker!" Trump critic Ron Filipkowski captioned the picture. There were also other people who commented on the fashion gaffe.
"Donald's suits are all from the 1980s. Baggy pants and shoulder pads. Like a walk-on playing a realtor on Dynasty," one person penned. "He also thinks it's the '80s,” another netizen stated. "Trump is an icon of classlessness," while another added, "[The] '80s called and they don't want them back,” a third Twitter, formerly Twitter, user shared.
OK! Magazine reported that this is hardly the first time Donald's clothing has been called out. During the month of June, the former president was subjected to severe ridicule for giving a speech while wearing a suit that was too loose.
"With all the people he’s fired over the years, his tailor still keeps their job somehow," Filipkowski captioned the video. "I’ve never seen someone with money wear such c------ wrinkly unkempt clothing. That particular shade of blue is rather horrid as well," a netizen stated. "I’ve decided he only owns that one suit and I don’t want to think about what it must smell like at this point #TrumpIsAFelon,” another X user shared.
"He has to hide the diaper outline," a third person commented. "Dude just walks around in some flowing curtains,” a fourth netizen stated.
Donald, who is running for president in the 2024 election, made headlines for his odd interview with Musk. As OK! Magazine previously reported, he appeared to slur his words, causing concern.
The ex-POTUS appeared to sound strange while saying the words "millions" and "silencing." However, when Donald's spokesperson Steven Cheung was asked by the BBC about the slurring, he said, "Must be your hearing."
Meanwhile, some doctors believe there's more to the story when it comes to Donald's health.
According to Ben Michaelis, a clinical psychologist who has carried out cognitive assessments for the New York Supreme Court, he thinks it's unusual that Trump jumps from topic to topic while speaking.
“There’s reasonable evidence suggestive of forms of dementia. The reduction in complexity of sentences and vocabulary does lead you to a certain picture of cognitive diminishment,” Ben said.
“Tangentiality certainly amped up and it’s difficult to follow him. You’d expect some cognitive diminishment of course, he’s 78 years old — if he was your grandfather you wouldn’t expect anything different. He just happens to be running for president,” he pointed out.
