Is Trump Wearing the same suit every day?

Suit and tie worn yesterday
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/10/world/asia/trump-north-korea-singapore.html

I am watching him on CNN about lowering drug prices, and it's the same suit and tie.

I noticed, because I have the same combination in my wardrobe and I wore it Tuesday. A postal blue suit and a royal blue, light blue striped tie.

I notices it yesterday and now I wee it again today.

Did anyone else notice? Perhaps he can't get into his closet in the white house.

1. He buys them off the rack -from Brioni I think-so the cut is probably identically unflattering.

If he had them well tailored we’d not notice his physical flaws as much. Cheap skate.

6. He wears the same suit in the sense he has identical outfits

Was reading about him being loathe to change his style, and even bragging on it. Does his hair the same way he always has, except now he needs more help keeping it combed over.
I have no idea when that baggy pants suit was in fashion, but it ain't going away for him.

He is very resistant to change,. has a limited menu preference, really hates not being in his own bed at night.

has massive massive insecurities, as if we could not tell, so focuses on the things he can control about his life.

9. Why would anyone do that?

I have 20 suits and 60 ties. Some of my suits are similar and some of my ties are similar. But I never wear a similar suit and tie on successive days. Who would do that with so many suits and ties?

11. He probably gets a discount at "Big, Orange, and Ugly" for buying in bulk.

Buy a dozen identical suits, get one free. The store likes it, since they only have to hire one tentmaker to fill his orders.

12. Yes...that is what I said....

Lemme try it this way...

I have a favorite shoe brand and style. When they are on sale, I buy a couple pairs, then can alternate the pairs.
they look identical, but are not the exact same shoe that I wore yesterday, but the spare pair.

Trump has identical suits. He claimed it is because he does not want to have to think about what to wear, so he has several batches of them in one color, and several in another color, and same with ties, shirts.
He has worn that long red tie style for years, so often that he is known for it now. But that is not the only red tie he has, of course..he has many of them.

13. He probably buys the same suit by the dozens.

I've read that he buys brand labels off the rack, too cheap to buy custom suit, and too stingy to even pay for tailoring. If he finds one that he thinks fits, he buys them all. People with no fashion sense, unable to put together a good wardrobe, often buy several copies of the same article of clothing, maybe adding variety in getting every color it comes in.

19. He is not comfortable with change in his personal routine.

It's why he eats the same food over and over, and why he didn't give up watching TV when he moved into the White House. Hell, it's why he barely moved into the White House.
