(411 posts)26. He wears a costume
When he was younger, he dressed somewhat tastefully, with dark ties and his coat buttoned.
Since he has been in the politcal area he has worn the costume of a carnival barker, usually a rumpled suit, unbuttoned jacket, and a red tie that is much too long. Apparently he thinks his fans like this get up. He is playing a role.
A line in a Faulkner novel said "What kind of man wears a red tie?" to describe a stranger in town. I did some research and, for that period in history, a red tie was a signal you were gay. I doubt Trump knows that.

Maybe we should start a betting pool for how long it takes after losing the election for him to leave the country.

After he loses this time he won't even want the attention of the rubes. He's done.
