Funerals are for the family. Not the dead person. You won’t care because you’re dead, I’m sure his close friends and relatives cared quite a bit.
When I die I won't give a single fuck what people who go to my funeral wear.
I'm not defending the guy. I'm just accusing the church of being the other side. Assholes on both sides. I hope my exercised freedom of speech doesn't ruffle feathers. I don't have a suit myself.
I remember when John Paul died and we got Ratzinger Z who was promptly removed for sexual stuff. So I might live to see 4 popes! What a time to be alive! 4 popes. Most people I know are also 3 popes old and pushing for 4.
Funerals are not for the dead, they're for the living experiencing grief in the wake of a loss.
Arrest him
Thank god it wasn’t tan.
The tan suit had mustard stains on it, otherwise...
He's like school in the summer time. No class.
Oh come on, tan suit again? You're better than this, people
Not really equivalent situations. Obama wearing a tan suit wasn't in a context that demanded a specific wardrobe.
We're living in a fascist dictatorship. If making fun of Trump for his blue suit makes Republicans lose in the midterms that's all that matters. Anyone who seriously believes suit color matters at a funeral is living in a state of self-inflicted misery.
Honestly, now that we're literally sending people to concentration camps, I have zero fucks to give about this superficial bullshit. No one gives a shit about what Hitler wore at the '36 Olympics, and no one's gonna care what this asshole wore to a funeral.
Probably Hugo Boss if I had to guess.
It's purely to be on the attack. Republicans showed for the last fifteen years if you're performatively aggressive against the opposition eventually you get what you want.
You don't have to hate Trump or his suit color. Just love democracy and socialism and the working class. If this gets some apolitical conservative people to not vote for the Republicans then awesome.
I hate trump but I would wear a bright red shirt with Satan on it to the popes funeral
A fair old chunk of the crowd were in bright red frocks and silly hats.
OTOH, maybe the Vatican shouldn't have invited the Antichrist to a pope's funeral.
Don't try to shame 47, he has no shame. I can't even watch the UK office because of second hand cringe, but he would probably take notes
It's not about shaming Trump. Like you say, he has no shame. It's about exhausting his base. It takes a second to make fun of him for it.
This was not an accident. First, it gets him to stand out from the crowd, draw all the attention to himself, and make it all about him which is what he lives and breathes for. Second, it gets the media to focus on something other than him eliminating due process, having judges arrested, using the DOJ to attack perceived enemies, deporting US citizens, and completely ignoring court rulings while those who have the power to stop it sit back and either do nothing or actively support it.
He could have worn a black suit with a MAGA hat. Same result, but much more dignified.
gets the media to focus on something other
I didn't see the clown makeup until you mentioned it; but that's what it is, isn't it? The circus continues.
