He says he's a billionaire but he can't get his pants tailored? He looks like a slob. And that's not a very congenial look vs. May.

6. Even smaller than his hands or those pouty little lips...

my god... look at those tiny feet. They barely extend beyond his pant leg. No wonder he can't walk down stairs.

7. Even considering the lighting, his jacket is not matched to his pants.

I heard he has his people order the same suit "off the rack" with minimal tailoring done on the arm length before they get to him so his suit coats will appear to "fit". I'll bet he had to wear his White House fat day pants with his travel suit coat because the original pants that went with that coat don't fit anymore or didn't make it on the plane with him.

I don't see him standing or getting "positioned" the half hour or so for a real bespoke suit fitting, even though as a supposedly wealthy and successful businessman, he can afford bespoke suits that would keep him from looking like a total rumpled slob, whether he's standing or sitting.

On edit - it's critical for a larger "professional" person to get their suits tailored for them. I saved for six months to have one skirt suit that is made exactly for me to be able to be subtly tailored if necessary to hide my more unflattering bulges on my fat days without making my head look like a baseball on top of a soccer ball.
It's the difference between looking powerful and professionally imposing and looking like you're wearing a rump-sprung worn out suit you got from the thrift store in a last minute rush to impress a potential employer at a job interview.

2. Judging from the look on the man's face behind him...someone is farting

I guess a change of food from McDonald's burgers and fries is taking a toll on slobby's guts.

He looks terrible, and he's probably seriously jet-lagged and should not even be at that meeting.
I wouldn't be surprised if Cheeto passes out from fatigue. Jet-lag is harder on senior citizens because of their age.
You need one day's rest to get back to normal after flying to Europe.
I'm sure he thinks he can "beat" it, but he can't.

5. Did you notice the orange slob was the only one without his jacket buttoned for the photo?

In that picture it looks like he's filling his pants.

I am hardly rich and not all my work clothes are tailored. But he is president and a fucking billionaire to hear him tell it.

I have a few nicely tailored pants for weddings, funeral and formal work events.

Sure as hell would look buttoned down if representing my nation on a public stage.

It's like a petulant little child whose parents just scolded for eating his desert and not his veggies.
