Donald Trump duct tapes his tie
Dozens of photos reveal this homemade solution used by the president to join both parts of the garment
He usually wears a slightly fitted jacket, with wide shoulders and long sleeves. His favorite tie, a red one, also exceeds the informally established measurements, exceeding the imaginary waistline. And as dozens of recent photos have shown, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, holds the two ends of the tie with transparent tape.
The most important day of his political career happened, on January 20. During the inauguration ceremony, the Trump couple were photographed with the Pence couple — the vice president and his wife — in front of Congress when a puff of air lifted his famous red tie to reveal two strips of tape joining both ends of the tie. garment. It happened again last Friday while the president descended from Air Force One, the presidential plane, at the Orlando (Florida) airport. And in between, the scene has occurred on multiple occasions with different ties.
In addition to his curious fix, which could easily be replaced by a tie clip, the instrument designed to solve the problem, Trump challenges the normal length of a tie. Contrary to custom, the president allows the garment to extend past the imaginary waistline. His criticized habit of not fastening the button on his jacket gives a glimpse of this strange practice that has been the result of ridicule on social networks.
And yet, Trump, the man who presumes to know everything, who is driven by ego and his desire to be the best, tries to give style lessons to some of his advisers. According to The New York Times, the president criticized the appearance of his spokesman, Sean Spicer, when he made his first speech from the White House, a day after the inauguration. In particular, Trump urged him to wear a more tailored suit.
