As a general matter, I also dislike the idea of respectability in dress because the concept is often unevenly applied. It bothered me to see Vance smirking during this moment, as he supposedly champions the forgotten working poor who are most often shamed because of these concepts.

Vance is forever a donkey.
We see the game. Loud & clear. And we’re not impressed

What’s with “masculinity” and its inability to look in the mirror?
A) he's a bully
B) the reporter was told to ask that question
C) he's classless
D) all of the above
Don't forget trump also commented on his lack of a suit upon greeting Zelensky, setting the tone.
Elon brought a toddler instead of a suit
sorry, eyeballs just popped, blood and aqueous humour on screen, will have to finish reading later
I work in a sector where business casual rules, so I'm not insisting on suits and ties, but goddamn, an adult male shouldn't go out in public like Dennis the Menace
I think our country would be in a better place if Trayvon was still around and Mark...wasn't.
All domestic visitors?
If they’re asking for trade expansion is that the same as asking for money?
This American, for one, definitely has a fascination with a well worn quarter zip. 😅
he's full blown kool-aid drinker. Hoped for the Jan6th Pence, but we got the Bobert reach around.
Zelenskyy dressed clean & neat in his business casual my country has been ravaged by war for three years attire. Churchill didn’t wear a suit either.
These are not serious people with legitimate complaints, they are scumbags making up controversies to help Putin.
The viewers of the Monday Night Football Mannigcast beg to differ
If you answered no, then I think we agree that this is just a pretense. Trump's position on Ukraine is not about clothes. And MAGA follows whatever Trump says.
Assume, Zelenskyy would have worn a suit, the MAGA narrative would have been:
“See, the guy is at war but comes to the W.H. in an expensive suit to beg for money. This is evidence he wants to buy suits for himself with our money!”
And to all those who are bitching about Zelensky’s clothes: Stop telling yourselves that—as Americans—you love authenticity, you think the Indiana Jones bomber jacket is quintessentially American, you think Americanism is about not standing on ceremony, blah blah blah.
FDR appointed Joe Kennedy to the post, whom he didn't particularly like, and rather viciously teased him that his bandy legs would look silly.

The coonskin cap as a symbol of the 'American frontiersman' was already so common it verged on cliche by the 1780s, when Franklin was ambassador to France (and when Crockett was born)
Taxes on VC aren’t nearly high enough.
