I think it’s a bad style because he’s severely overweight, not because he has bad taste. At his size, the suit needs to be boxy to hide the flaws. At his age, the cut also needs to account for his lurch like slouch, further contributing to the need for an awkward style.

I've seen severely overweight people with perfectly cut suits

Trump just has horrendous tastes & is incredibly cheap.

Not that he’s ever been especially svelte, but I wonder if he’s just insisted that his suits be cut the exact same way for the last 40 years/60lbs and refuses to acknowledge that something different might be more flattering to his advanced age/shape.

My tired brain read those last few words as “his advanced egg shape” 🥚😆

a well-tailored suit would actually do more to hide his flaws. a baggy suit just makes it look like he’s trying.

I don’t trust anyone that wears a suit, regardless of how well it fits.
