Trump, his tie, and Scotch tape

[OldRedneck]

Check out the photo made when an errant gust of wind caught Trump's tie as he come off the airplane in Indiana. Notice the pieces of Scotch tape holding the two ends of his tie together?



And now, check out the reactions.

My daughter commented back early in the campaign about how long Trump wears his ties. A man's tie should be tied with the tip of the tie ending at the bottom edge of his belt. Trump's ties end somewhere around his crotch . . . that's why he can't use the little loop on the back of the tie to hold the two ends together. And this guy is a classy billionaire? He's white trash. I'm an old redneck. I know white trash when I see it and pooping in a gold toilet is a sure sign of trash.

1. I almost always tie a tie too short

and have to do it over again - seems like a lot of them barely make it to the loop, if you have it reach your belt

2. Here is an explanation for the tape on his tie:

Let’s start with the reason why he’s even in the situation of having to tape down his own necktie. Trump likes to wear red “power ties” because he is the living stereotype of a 1980s New York power broker. And he likes to wear his ties long so that they extend well past his belt buckle and form a crimson arrow that points at his crotch. There’s a trade-off for transforming your necktie into a gaudy billboard for your penis: you can’t do what normal people do and just tuck the narrow end into the conveniently placed loop on the back the broad end.

Since penis advertisement is basically the core of what passes for Donald Trump’s essence, he can’t be expected to start wearing his tie like a normal human male would. Thus an outside-the-box solution is needed to keep his phallocentric look in order.

6. Gee, most men I know are secure enough that they don't have to so boldly advertise

and they sure as shit don't need to tell the nation about the size of their junk on national tv.

edited to add this key sentence from the article:

"Since penis advertisement is basically the core of what passes for Donald Trump’s essence,...."

exactly.

It's called a TIE TACK. Maybe you can get Malaria to design one for you, use your name to peddle it on QVC, make a YUGE fortune.
