Where were his handlers? Why did anyone think this was a good idea?

1. Disgraceful

[struggle4progress]

5. Can't he find pants that fit?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. They don't fit because he buys pants intended for a much taller person

so they fit around the waist and butt. He'd wouldn't buy pants with a 48" waist and a 32" inseam because that would be admitting he's fat.

[dsc]

11. He is a billionaire can't he hire a tailor?

I can sympathize to some extent as I am fat and not very tall so it is hard for me to find pants that work for me. But even I either cut them, hem them or spring for them to be altered.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. I have read that he doesn't like having people touch him

so he handles his personal hygiene and clothing himself. Having his pants altered would mean some tailor would have to measure his waist and inseam and would know what size he wears. This behavior would also explain his weird hairdo and orange skin. Nobody who had control or influence over the way he presents himself would let him go out in public like that, and Malaria probably doesn't care.

[kskiska]

39. He let Hope Hicks steam his pants

while he was wearing them.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

40. Well, that was Hope Hicks.

And there's a certain level of kink involved in having your pants steamed while you're wearing them.

[RoadMan]

58. He's like the aging hipster

who still sports a soul patch and wears some stupid little tough guy hat to cover male pattern baldness - LAME.

[maxsolomon]

63. aging hipsters aren't nearly as lame as trump

signed,
aging hipster with a beard not a soul patch

[struggle4progress]

13. Well. it sure looks like he's wearing a diaper and can't be bothered to buy pants the right length

So if he ever starts talking crazy talk, I'm worried people may begin to wonder if he's in his right mind

[elfin]

15. He wasn't wearing his reported 2-3 inch heel inserts inside his shoes to lift the trouser bottoms

Visit must have been on the "heel spur" of the moment.

Plus hair looks like just out of the shower before the blow dry and two cans of hair spray.

Plus the blazer must belong to someone else -- not the humongous ultra long type and the gap at the bloated belly is much greater than usual. Absolutely no way to button at all.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

41. I don't know if you can get heel lifts for golf shoes.

[lunatica]

29. Depends are bulky

He needs the extra room.

[Cha]

38. Apparently with all his "billions"..

he can't

[LovingA2andMI]

8. Oh Just...

Disgusting!

[ChubbyStar]

14. FFS is he still wearing his golf shoes?

I can't tell if he is carrying his lunch, or if that is his golf hat. What a fucking CRETIN!

[spanone]

19. he looks like shit.

sorry shit.

[Iliyah]

2. Pres Obama and tan suit . . .

Response . .

Endless bullshit from corporate media how disrespectful Pres O is followed by RWers falling down all over themselves. . .

[Arkansas Granny]

4. Exactly.

[Indykatie]

9. You Beat Me To Being The First To Comment About the Faux Outrage Over Obama's Tan Suit

Repubs lost their damn minds (what's left of them) over any and everything Obama did.

[JI7]

3. how come it always looks like his pants are on backwards

and it looks like he is wearing a diaper or took a crap or something.

[dalton99a]

6. .

[LovingA2andMI]

7. Just Plain.....

NASTY!!! TRASHY!!!

[CatMor]

16. If that's his new hair style ...

he better go back to the drawing board. This style makes him look even more ugly and bizarre than the original fluffy marshmallow style.

[TexasBushwhacker]

20. Sweaty hat hair n/t

[CatMor]

21. I'm surprised he let himself be seen that way.

[TexasBushwhacker]

22. He was there as an afterthought

His priority that morning was his golf game.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

42. Hat hair. He didn't have time to reconstruct his combover and lacquer it into place.

[D_Master81]

17. The human version of an unmade bed

[RobinA]

18. Whose Brilliant Idea

was this? Don’t Presidents have a small army of image people? They should be fired immediately. SOMEbody supplied the ill fitting, non-matching jacket, that person should have wrestled Trump to the ground rather than let this happen.

[Midnight Writer]

24. Presidents also have an army of foreign policy advisors, security advisors, economic advisors, etc.

Trump ignores all of them because he has sophisticated gut feelings. You can see where he keeps them.

[Texasgal]

23. Remember the brouhaha

over Michelle Obama showing her shoulders?

I hate these fucking hypocrites!

[3catwoman3]

37. And yet nary a peep of right wing complaint about...

...Melania Tr(a)mp's bare boobs and bare ass in all her soft porn "modeling" shoots.

[Blue_Tires]

54. +1000

[Midnight Writer]

25. Cut him some slack. It is common for people with senile dementia to make "odd" fashion choices.

[greatauntoftriplets]

26. Looks like his "tan" washed off, too.

[C_U_L8R]

27. Lazyass Trump is over 200 miles in the wrong place

Apparently he randomly showed up at the closest steeple to his club. In golf cleats no less. What a shitstain.

[regnaD kciN]

28. Surprising that DU, of all places...

...is insisting that people only show up at church in their "Sunday Best."

FWIW, up here in the northwest, casual clothes are perfectly fine at church. Hey, I usually show up in khakis and polos…and I'm the priest! (One of my parishioners claimed this morning to have seen a polo with a clerical collar that they think would be ideal for me.)

I guess our attitude is that it isn’t your clothing that’s important, it’s your heart and mind — which is where the real issue lies here.

[lunatica]

30. This was not Sunday School

It was a service for the people who were murdered.

So yes, wearing a real suit is pretty much called for.

[jberryhill]

52. What about the pastor?

This is one of those "come as you are" bible churches.

The pastor is wearing an untucked polo shirt, blue jeans and sneakers.

[lunatica]

57. if I didn't know better I would think you're defending Trump

But I know better.

[jberryhill]

59. I think some of the outrages are somewhat manufactured

McLean Virginia is nowhere near Virginia Beach. What the connection is between this church and the VA beach shooting is completely unclear.

Why would there be a "memorial service" for the victims hundreds of miles away? The setup makes no sense.

Obviously, Trump schlepped his way into a church service after playing a round of golf.

But to propose he's showing some kind of "disrespect" when he's better dressed (at least wearing a jacket) than the guy in an untucked short sleeve shirt, jeans and sneakers who is actually LEADING the service, seems pretty stupid.

Just because Trump is an asshole doesn't mean that every negative comment about him is valid.

It is objectively true - you can see it with your own two eyes - that the pastor of this church is more casually dressed than Trump is. So, what' the real takeaway from that?

What do you have to say about the way the preacher of this church is dressed? Anything?

[lunatica]

60. Actually he looks like he's wearing his gardening clothes

You know, the ones that are full of dirt and that are only worn to do that dirty work. Kind of like a slob.

[jberryhill]

62. He looks like a slob no matter what he's wearing

Objectively, though, khakis are considered 'business casual' and blue jeans (as worn by the pastor and three other people on stage) aren't.

On the list of "offensive things this asshole has done", the subject of how he presented himself at a church which obviously invited him, welcomed him and were happy to have him there just doesn't move me.

Are any members of that Bible banging cult gathering upset? Unlikely, given that they apparently dress casually there.

[Arkansas Granny]

31. As a non- believer, I would not show up at any church dressed as Trump was

His attire was not just casual dress. It showed that his visit was nothing more than an afterthought. His heart and mind appeared to be focused on golf.

[lunatica]

61. I'm with you

If you can’t show respect then stay away. I’m not a believer either but showing up at a church for a service calls for decency.

[GusBob]

34. You are so missing the point. Try to pay attention

The fucking question is: what if Obama did this?

Good lord

[jberryhill]

51. The preacher is wearing a polo shirt and jeans

[Blue_Tires]

53. He went to church IN HIS FUCKIN' SPIKES!!!

Aren't we supposed to demand more from the office of the President?

And then he said jack fuckin' shit while the 'pastor' made this memorial service for a mass shooting all about praying for Trump...

[jberryhill]

64. Remind me why I should care what he wears for his cult members?

The preacher and three others on stage are wearing blue jeans.

They invited him there and were no doubt tickled pink to have them.

What is that "we" are "supposed to demand" from this moron and his drooling followers?

[RobinA]

56. He's The President

of the United States representing the US for f*** sake. This looks terrible.

[Pachamama]

32. Trump is vile

[bullwinkle428]

33. "DON'T YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND? I PUSHED BACK MY TEE TIME FOR YOU ALL!!"

[Ms. Toad]

35. You think God only notices what you wear on Sunday?

Sheesh. This is a tempest in a teapot. If he's doing the right thing, I don't particularly care what he's wearing.

What I do care about is whether he are doing the right thing - which, 99.999% of the time he's not.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

36. Hate the Gordon Gekko look.

It worked for Michael Douglas, not Donnie Dump.

Christ, this man looks horrid without his spray tan.

[Kid Berwyn]

43. Somebody left the front desk unattended and a patient escaped.

Has anyone come forward to report him missing?

[Initech]

44. He looks incredibly malnourished in that photo.

I mean would it kill him to eat something green? Or some citrus?

[Hekate]

45. "He didn't even speak"--Well, thank the gods for that small mercy, why don't you? His face...

...looks like shit. Is the Mad King completely disintegrating?

[DesertRat]

46. And he was still wearing golf cleats!

[tishaLA]

47. The repubs made fun of him for singing "Amazing Grace"

We all know Sean Hannity would have had an emergency Sunday show to encourage the outrage

[Maru Kitteh]

48. Oh hey look! They let out Fat Julian Assange!

[Mendocino]

49. Looks like a day at the track

$20 on Old Yellowstain to place.

[smirkymonkey]

50. OMG! He looks like hell!

Who let him out looking like this? He's a hot mess. The hair, the skin, the ill-fitting clothes, the golf-shoes! Doesn't this guy have a mirror?

[maxsolomon]

55. He looks like himself.

For once.

[Blue_Tires]

65. Pastor apologizes after Trump visit:
