...which was remarked upon at the time.

I'm not sure of all the protocol, but over the centuries military men have served officers in these personal functions.

But word is trump has at least 2. You know, gotta be the biggest...

But they don’t necessarily dress them. They manage their wardrobe and I suspect try to keep them from looking poorly dressed. But trump likes being poorly dressed in poor fitting clothes. I know all things considered this is picayune, but seeing him in his suit fitting like old drapes alongside all the smart dressed European leaders was just humiliating. He was purposely flouting their good style because people with class have never accepted him regardless of his wealth, or supposed wealth. I think this was the original anger that drives him. He is unable to understand they spurned him because of his behavior and crassness.

important to him. Instead he always looks like he just rolled out of bed and threw on some cheaply made off-the-rack suit which he doesn't even bother to have tailored to fit him properly. He is such a hot mess.
