https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/never-fuck-with-your-brand?utm_source=substack&utm_medium'never fuck with your brand: x marks the very stupid spot' JEFF TIEDRICH
'every morning, Donald Trump wakes up and tortures his few remaining hairs into that famous fucked up rats nest of cotton candy bullshit that sits atop his big dumb pumpkin head. he then puts on one of his shapeless, ill-fitting, off-the-rack cheap blue suits, and finishes it off with a ludicrously long red tie.
he looks like a fucking clown. and you know what? he knows that he looks like a fucking clown. but he does it anyway.do you know why he does this? because its his brand. Donald Trump is a fucking moron, but he absorbed one lesson from all his years of being a game show host on TV: never fuck with your brand.
you can spot Donald Trump a mile away. hes counting on that. if Trump went on TV tonight wearing a well-tailored suit and with his hair combed back in a dignified manner, you wouldnt hear a word he said. you be too busy trying to figure out what the hell was going on. thats why you never fuck with your brand.'

(114,650 posts)and that's why he always looks like an unmade bed. The suits are expensive enough, they're just made to be taken in to fit.

(4,645 posts)He's too much of a germaphobe to maul and try to kiss random women on the mouth by force.
He's too much of a germaphobe to let a woman iron his pants while he's wearing them.
He's too much of a germaphobe to ride a porn star bareback.
Oops. Never mind.

His way of telling the world that everybody who went to Vietnam was a sucker and a loser while he, Cadet Bone Spurs, stayed home raping or paying for sex with whomever caught his narcissistic fancy.
Personally, I think he is, actually is, a damned germaphobe except when it interferes with his ability to use and abuse women.

(13,003 posts)he is going for a reverse hour glass look.....Notice how narrow/puny his shoulders are in the photograph with the red tie compared to his hip/waist line area. (For the record, he wears the long tie, going down below his belt line to focus women's attention on the pointed end of the tie, directing their eyes to his "tiny mushroom"......) He thinks it's a cool subconscious trick, when in reality it looks like a four year old kid wearing his dad's tie........
Thank goodness he doesn't/can't spend any time coming/leaving Denver during the summer. My pilot friends tell me that with these extreme temps and Denver's altitude together, he would be the only person they would be able to allow on board due to severe weight restrictions to get off the ground on takeoff with Denver's high summer temperatures and high altitude.......(Air density/Altitude calculations)

(72,361 posts)I'm nobody's idea of good-looking (except for Mrs. Aristus, and her opinion counts the most,
)
But I always make sure that my tailored clothing is well-tailored. I don't need to look like a million bucks; just like whatever I spent for the suit, the tailoring, and a little extra something that comes with confidence and good grooming.
I don't look any better dressed up, but my clothing creates the illusion that I do. And I'm cool with that. I would never want to look like a clown unless I was the comedy act at a circus.

(90,411 posts)And so do I. He walked our daughter down the aisle in a GREAT shirt - basic black with glorious white orchids all over it. All the other men were in suits. I didnt care. I thought he looked as good as she did!

I thought the tan suit thing on President Obama was stupid but theyve gone even stupider with the tennis shoes feigned outrage!

Whereas the donald has generated truckloads of gravely serious and illegal material for prosecutors all over everywhere to sink their teeth into (AND likewise for us, too!).

This is one of the best descriptions of Trump's hair I have ever read. Had me LOL.
I've said it looks like cotton candy spun out of pee.
It looked ridiculous when he was younger. It looks even more ridiculous now.

(58,785 posts)BUT, how about when he was young, finding his style?
Experts in narcissism say it's common for many to adopt a look they admire in adolescence -- often from a movie or rock star -- and then keep it for life.
Apparently when narcissists fantasize, it isn't about them doing wonderful things like ordinary people do -- their fantasies may often be static IMAGES for them to admire of themselves -- looking the idealized way they see themselves, even as they age.
Around the time tRump was developing "his" look, both Elvis and Troy Donahue were big. And of course "mother" was available as a model also.
