I can’t believe how he’s living rent-free in so many heads here.

75 pounds lighter, and walked in front of the Queen to inspect the Guards.

He made America so proud. (sarcasm)

Probably gave those in charge of protecting her, and the hundreds there who felt a need to, a spasm.

He was dressed in that ridiculous penquin suit that didn't fit and then he walked ahead of the queen instead of letting her go first.

It was really embarrassing.

It’s hard to remember every single thing he’s done because that’s how constantly despicable he is, one embarrassment after another.

that didn't look all that bad to me. He seemed hesitant at first and the Queen motioned him to proceed. After that it looked like he didn't know what to do - an awkward moment but hardly intentionally disrespectful IMO.

PS: I am no fan of monarchs, but I, too, respect the late Queen. She stood up to fascists.

should be able to afford a decent tailor. WTF is up with the jacket and vest lengths? That much vest is not supposed to show beneath the bottom of the jacket. And then there are those too-long sleeves (maybe it's just the small, little hands)?

Just horrible. He looks like a bumpkin who knows nothing about mens' wear.

where people are very conscious of formalwear and what's proper and what isn't. That outfit was an insult to the British and an embarrassment to the U.S. Makes you wonder what they were saying in private after tfg finally left.

It's for beating Donnie about the head when he gets out of line or just acts generally obnoxious. And after he invited his free-loading family to her house for dinner I admired her restraint for not letting him have it.

And he’s mentally picking out (or designing) what his Royal sash will look like. He probably thinks his red ties look like royal sashes.

I’m surprised he doesn’t have one of his “slimming” ties on instead of the “fattening” bow tie he’s wearing.
