Donald Trump Jr. wanted his insult of Mitt Romneys mom jeans to be a zinger. But along with being misogynistic, the presidents son also showed he knows nothing about fashion.

Donald Trump Jr. has some thoughtswell, a lame insult really, aimed at Mitt Romneyabout mom jeans. Like much about Don Jr., it was an embarrassing misfire.
After Romney announced that he would vote to convict Trump on an impeachment chargea mostly symbolic move which did little to influence Mitch McConnells Republican-led SenateTrump Jr. posted a throwback photo of the senator wearing high-waisted denim. It appeared to be taken in the 80s or 90s, when the cut was popular for men and women. The caption read, Mom Jeans, Because youre a pussy.

His mockery of Romney, of course, makes light of the infamous word his father used while bragging about assaulting women in the Access Hollywood tape. Along with that, he chose to feminize Romney as a form of insult. Trump Jr. could have referenced dad jeans, which Barack Obama frequently wore as president, but he decided to call him a girl instead. Good one, Junior!
Perhaps unsurprisingly for a connoisseur of plaid button-upswho appears to use an entire bottle of Gorilla Glue to slick back his hair every morningthe presidents son does not understand that the past six or so years have made the look cool again. ................
.................I searched through the Getty Image archives in an attempt to find photos of Trump Jr. in the same style. Unfortunately, the first son seems to have only worn suits and ties since his childhood, pairing the boss baby ensemble with a vacant glare that makes him look like a babysitters worst nightmare.
He does wear jeans, nondescript ones, on occasion, such as when sitting, looking as if he was constipated, on a tree stump..................................

(15,019 posts)during the 2016 campaign from someone who went to the same college as Junior about Dolt45 being abusive/assaulting (specifically punching) Junior in his college dorm when he stopped by to pick him up to go to a Yankees game because Junior was not wearing a blazer/suit jacket as Dolt45 expected (and then after the punching demanded). To go to a fucking baseball game, as a ~20 year old.

Especially when sitting on that tree stump trying to look thoughtful.
