Cause he is at war.

It’s a strategic look to show his country doesn’t have the luxury of formalities atm, and yet he still was such a class act.

But... He clearly does, otherwise zoom call would suffice.

He initially didn't leave the country and was very hesitant to do so. But he found that he could be more persuasive in person, so in the interest of the nation he now does visit other countries.

Why should anyone wear a suit when the same costume is shared by so many monstrous oppressors of the past couple centuries?

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Here's the funny thing. The three piece suit was adopted by the politicians as an emulation of the dress code of "the common man". Since most men wore plain suits and plain shirts for everyday dress, in contrast with aristocracy which dressed in fancier, more elaborate ways.

It's ironic that it became the new dress code for the oligarchs and powerful oppressors. And now the common people dress even plainer and simpler. They're fighting over dressing in a symbol of modern political and financial oppression.

I like the response that when the war is over he'd love to wear a costume like the journalist, but now, this is not his largest problem.

I’ve seen multiple pics of Elon in the White House and Oval Office and he’s wearing a baseball cap and no suit

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 day ago

The fact that it was MTGs boyfriend who asked that question really says it all.

Because it's hard to do anything useful when you're wearing a suit.

The 2 minutes of hate is coming I stg I feel like conservative common men just want to see the opposition upset

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 20 hours ago

We have a little more ways to go before people have a 2 min attention span.

Till then, It's 12 second hates and freakouts on tiktok

I'd turn it around. If I were ever in an position to negotiate with Trump, the first question would be "Why is your face orange?".

It's not relevant to any potential negotiation, but if he can not answer that without lying, I'd walk away, because how in hell are you supposed to negotiate anything with someone who lies about something that is obvious.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 37 points 1 day ago

A group of cockroaches would have handled the situation way better.

[–] oyo@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

I really hope he wears a suit for his next meeting with European leaders.

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 day ago

Bro I'd be so pissed. Like are we here to talk about issues or talk about fashion?! God damn fuck trump and his little posse

[–] psyklax@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

When negotiations break down, what are you going to do?
