Donald Trump’s ‘slenderizing’ long ties – in pictures

Wear black, stay away from loud patterns, stick with vertical stripes. There are dozens of tips and tricks to wearing clothes that will make you appear slimmer. Turns out, Donald Trump has his own: wear your tie long. Very long.

Trump recommends the fashion hint as “slenderizing”. Or so he told New Jersey’s former governor and White House wannabe Chris Christie, according to the latter’s forthcoming book.

In the new memoir Let Me Finish, Christie wrote of how Trump encouraged him to wear a long tie to make him look thinner during the 2016 presidential campaign.

For anyone who’s met or seen a picture of Trump, it’s clear the president consistently heeds his own advice. The end of Trump’s tie usually falls well below his waistline. Trump then adjusts them to make the front much longer than the back, and infamously resorts to criss-crossed sticky tape to affix the stub of the back end to back of the front end …

Donald Trump’s tie flaps in the wind, revealing sticky tape attached to the back, as he arrives at Orlando international airport on 3 March 2017.

1. The ties don't really do much for his gut, but...

they make his hands look even smaller.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. His mouth even SMALLER.....

3. The long tie is also his... um... "mushroom proxy"

or whatever euphemism you might prefer for his very big, very strong, very dominant, not-at-all-over-compensating thingy.

8. Has he ever heard of a tie clip?

Good lord, the man is supposedly a billionaire yet he's putting tape on his tie? Spend a little money and get a tie clip to clip it to your shirt.
