The "controversy" was literally that his suit was tan?

like that was the whole thing?

caring about a tan suit is caring too much about too little.

He also put Dijon mustard on a hot dog once! The horror! The horror!

Seriously, I don’t know what’s worse: that they even made such a big deal of those ‘controversies’, or that both actually gained traction.

literally just get a life, the color of a suit doesn't matter

U.S. Representative Peter King, a member of the Republican Party, deemed the suit's color combined with the subject matter of terrorism to be “unpresidential.” He went on: "There's no way, I don't think, any of us can excuse what the president did yesterday. I mean, you have the world watching."[14][5]
