    More than that, Trump isn’t in the middle of actively fighting a fucking war, and a funeral has one single, solitary wardrobe expectation: wear black.*

    Even if not for that utter dumpster fire of a press conference, I also remember the fuss made about Obama’s tan suit that he just happened to wear during a televised event (which was not a funeral). On every level, this clown deserves mockery.

    *

    not universal to all kinds of funeral ceremonies, I know. this, however, was one of those funerals.

      You’re not wrong. I put special instructions (Canadian Tuxedo) in my will.

      Bringing up the suite on live TV was so cringe. Vance is such a little weasel.

      That being said. He should probably wear a suit. It just looks a little silly in that environment not to. I get the “war general” look when he’s in Ukraine. I just think if you’re gonna go do diplomacy you should also look the part.

      Now, do I want him to wear a suit now? Fuck no. Now I want him showing up in jeans and a sleeveless tee out of spite.
