Can Trump order his tailor to be hung?

After seeing videos of himself in the U.K., Trump went absolutely bugshit, broke much of the White House furniture, and ordered his tailor hung on the White House lawn.

The Secret Service spirited the tailor away and hid him in an undisclosed location.

But here's the big question. While trying on his tux, et. al., didn't he see that he looked like a fool? Wasn't he afraid that the buttons would pop off his shirt and hit the Queen in the eye? Didn't he realize that he looked like the buffoon he is?

My guess is that his tailor is a Democrat who intentionally dressed the clown like a clown.

Do you suppose he can find a Republican tailor who can make him look somewhat like a non-alien?

2. Hung or hanged?

If he's hung, he might be either well-endowed or suspended in a closet. If he's hanged, the consequences are far more dire.

displayed more than 20 national service awards, and who has none. Prince Charles is admired enough to get all those awards. He even has a BIG one that required a chain around his neck! (And, who has none?)

I predict that the next task to be assigned by Trump to Mulvaney is to get some awards rolling in. Of course, we can't count the Putin/Russian awards -- those are displayed only in the Kremlin in the secret "Trump Room".

I've always had this sick fantasy about an incompetent hangman who makes the rope so long that his victim's feet hit the floor. I really don't know what happens then. After all, how many times can you hang someone?

and in fact the tailor shop who usually does the clothes for the president and has for the last 100 years gave an interview declining credit. That white tie/tails was rented if you ask me

11. Trump's look is not my fault, says White House tailor

as he insists he doesn't know where President got his poorly fitted state banquet attire from - while Savile Row expert reveals: 'It's wrong in every way!'

The official tailor to the White House has insisted he's not to blame for President Donald Trump's ill-fitting tuxedo at the state banquet with the Queen.

Ismet Dil, 69, whose company has provided dinner jackets and tails to America's leaders for a century, claimed he didn't recognise the suit, which was heavily mocked online and criticised for being 'wrong in every way' by a Savile Row tailor.

'This is my profession. It’s not right,' Mr Dil, the master tailor at Scogna Formal Wear told The Times.

...are his personal fault. Given his personality, I think he bellows at anyone who dares to attempt to tell him anything about his appearance. After all, his magic mirror tells him he still looks like a 35 yo stud-about-town.

And his brain is turning to mush.
