Obama’s Tan Suit

 Trump, so often it’s not “new”:

Trump said the Chair of Joint Chiefs he appointed committed “treason” & should be executed, his Chief of Staff was “a disgrace,” his Press Sec was “a highly unstable nut job,” his AG was “mentally retarded” & “lazy,” his NSA was “stupid,” and his SecDef was “weak & ineffective.”
Washington pundits last week:
As little as I have loved Republicans the past few years, coinciding with the rise of our own little autocrat, at least Donald Trump knows how to dress,” @kathleenparker writes.
Trump this morning:
Pennsylvania is at it again!" Trump posted on his Truth Social website. "The Radical Left Governor, Josh Shapiro, has just announced a switch to Automatic Voter Registration, a disaster for the Election of Republicans, including your favorite President, ME!" 
"This is a totally Unconstitutional Act, and must be met harshly by Republican Leadership in Washington and Pennsylvania," Trump added. "Likewise, the RNC, and Ronna McDaniel, must spend their time working on this, instead of meaningless Debates where I am up by more than 50 points. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and others, are far more important than 'Aida,' Sloppy Chris, Lyin’ Mike Pence, Nikki 'Birdbrain' Haley, Ron ('Dead Campaign') DeSanctimonious, and the others. Start suing now, & get the right lawyers this time! The Pennsylvania Republican Party must likewise not let this happen. It will be a disaster for our Nation, which is being destroyed by these Lunatics, Marxists, & Fascists, whose only real ability is to CHEAT on Elections. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
It was called "Motor Voter” when it started almost 40 years ago. And yeah, Trump’s only point is that this means more people could vote, and Republicans can’t have that.

But Senators are not wearing dark suits and dull ties in the chamber. Because while they engage in wholly undignified acts (Cruz reading “Green Eggs and Ham” comes to mind), they must be well dressed while doing it. You know, to maintain the dignity of the institution.

And when Donald Trump threatens to stomp his little feet all over the Constitution if he can be POTUS again? Well, at least he won’t do it while wearing a hoodie.

I think the GOP loves to go after matters of dress because they know the D.C. punditry is all about appearances. They all so want to be recognizable faces on TeeVee, and you can’t do that without make-up and a hair stylist. And clothes everybody notices by not noticing.

So NEVER a tan suit.
