He’s all dressed up today

"If Cardinal Fang over there can wear a red cummerbund, why can't I wear a blue suit? At least I ditched my trademark 10' long red tie."

Physically Trumpy boy looks so weak. Weak enough that he can't even sit up straight properly and is forced to hunch over.

I don't care about the blue suit, just the missing steel bracelets.

- Doesn't matter if they still let him go even though he doesn't respect the dress code.
  
  How does a 34-count felon pass through the countries?
  
  He counts that as a win. MF lives for shit like this. Look up all the petty shit he did when he bought Mar-a-lago.
- Is a dark blue suit not a "dark suit?" Trump isn't even the only person wearing a dark blue suit in this picture:
- I fucking hate formalwear rules.
  Dark blue should count as a "dark suit", shouldn't it? If the expectation was "wear a black suit", then the rule should have been "wear a black suit".
  Even just having to wear a suit at all is stupid: "You must wear a special kind of jacket that doesn't properly close in front, creating a little window through which people can see the shirt you're wearing underneath, and a ribbon of pretty fabric you wear draped around your neck."
  Meanwhile, women are allowed to just use reasonable discretion as long as they're wearing a dress. The style of dress isn't specified (but of course most women will interpret it as "show a little bit of bare chest, but not too much, because it's a funeral")
  
  All the women pictured here are wearing black in the strictest sense of the color what in the fuck are you even rambling about
  
  I wonder if future people will see the suit and tie and think about it similarly to how we look at paintings of people from the 17th century wearing Ruffs, and concluding that they looked silly. I sure do think ties look silly.
  
  "Clothes-Optional" funerals are a blast when everyone is 73.
  
  I agree if the expectation was for people to wear black only, then the text of the code should have said "black" and not "dark."
  Formal Dress Codes suck, but at the least the events are usually short and you can at least take off the tie and jacket, maybe roll up the shirt sleeves if they're long.
  
  Cartoonist Michael Leunig (r.i.p.) called them the 'business burkha' and I've thought of them as such ever since.
- What's with the dude wearing the white bowtie?
  
  Looks like he's also wearing a tailcoat. That's maximum formality. I assume as an indication of maximum respect. Probably not planning to tapdance.
  
  White tie is a level of formality above black tie. He might probably a diplomat honoring him as head of state rather than as the head of Catholic Church.

I am feeling called out today because the only suit I own is dark blue, and I do wear it to funerals. Am I supposed to own a black suit? Do people feel disrespected? Nobody has ever said anything...
- You wear your dark blue suit son. It's obviously respectful. That's all that matters.
  Where I'm from only close friends and family would wear a suit and dark blue would be absolutely fine. Black jeans and a nice jacket would be spot on here too in nearly all circumstances.
  I'll tell you what though if you got an invite to the pope's funeral I'd bet you money you'd pony up for black. That's all folks are saying here.
- You're not going to the Pope's funeral.
  Honestly, most people will never attend a very formal funeral. Wear your blue suit. If you come to mine I hereby grant permission to wear jeans and a band or nerd T-shirt. It's very indicative of what I wore most of my life up to this point even if I dress better now when I leave the house.
  I don't think most people care as long as you are trying.
- Am I supposed to own a black suit?
  Supposed to? There is no hard-fast rule saying so, but it can be good to have one for these types of events. Even though you probably won’t be escorted away, it’s considered respectful to some- from a traditional sense.
  Similar in the way that you generally won’t see someone wearing a white dress to someone else’s wedding.
  And a good tailored black suit is never a bad thing to own.
- FWIW I reckon you're fine mate 👍
- Unless there is a Dress Code that explicitly says you must wear a "black" suit, you're fine. I wouldn't worry about it.

Ah the middle of the room where everyone can see and hear us, excellent spot for a private meeting.
- Still better than over Twitter
  
  These conversations are usually held over Signal.

Blue suit? ... oh, I'm wearing blue and not black because I'm not sad ... I'm just here so that everyone can see me.

I see a lot of comments on this idiot and his blue suit. This is the only fucking suit he owns. A large, off the rack, kmart looking thing.
He probably doesn't even know the difference (or names) of colours.

Looks like it may have been brightened slightly?
- Looks like a saturation bump. Good eye. I didn’t make it. I found it on Substack.
- Trump looks like a gormless hunchback.

Nonsense thing to criticize. Who cares?
- It’s not about the suit, it’s about the hypocrisy. He acts like Christianity is so important to him, but knows nothing about the religion or customs, and mocked Zelenskyy for not respecting the White House enough to wear a proper suit.
  
  Not only that, but I think a lot of the criticism is a result of Republicans decade+ long history of finding ridiculous things to start controversy about. Recall Obama's tan suit, or, of course, "Why aren't you wearing a suit?"
  
  That doesn't really make much sense considering wearing black to a funeral has absolutely nothing to do with Christianity. That is a custom that originated in the Roman Empire.
  The surviving relatives of the deceased (and ONLY the surviving relatives, NOT friends or others) would wear what was called a toga pulla, which was a dark or black toga to signify to others that they were mourning the death of a relative. It didn't matter if the Romans that did this were Christian or not, because that was a Roman custom, not a Christian one.
  I don't really see where there would be any hypocrisy whether he was wearing a black or blue suit. He is dressed in formal attire that shows respect for the occasion of honoring a deceased person. This is different from what you mention, when Zelensky wore clothing that was not formal to a formal event. That would obviously be taken as a sign of disrespect in many cultures around the world, and clearly it was taken that way on that occasion.
  I mean, Trump definitely gives a lot of reason to dislike him, but in this particular instance, the complaint made in this meme that Trump didn't wear a black suit seems to be a bit if a ridiculous nitpick, IMO.
- I think most people who saw their meeting in the white house where Trump/Vance yelled at him for not wearing a suit care.
- His ego can't bear the fact that today is not about him. All the other world leaders are showing respect, he's showing his narcissism and rudeness.
