The ties and frumpy suits are an attempt to hide his obesity.

I agree, it to divert attention to the tie instead of whats behind it.

When a man is tall and/or tall plus overweight a long tie Is the proper tie to wear. A short or regular tie on him would bring smirks and insults. You wouldn’t want that, would you?

@Aster I couldn’t care less what a person wears. I’m more interested in what he/she has to say.

@Aster He wears his ties longer than appropriate. A tie should come down to the middle of the belt buckle; no shorter, no longer.

To hide his nonexistent bulge.

To hide his teeny weeny.

If the CIA is watching Fluther, I was just kidding!

teeny weeny! Ha!

As the article said, it’s to ”... either call attention to his genitalia or take the focus away from his gut.
I propose that it’s also a suggestion for how well hung he desperately believes himself to be.

@Aster his long ties are bringing out smirks and insults.

He has the physique of a cinderblock. The long, exaggerated ties create vertical lines and draw the viewer’s eye away from his body.

It is also an arrow pointing straight to his teeny weeny.

They were gifts from Putin. Trump has many Russian ties.

Actually, he has lost a little weight since many of those ties were bought. They weren’t originally so long.

I am amused to see how many, and which jellies seem to know his weenie size.

I seem to remember weekly Friday NSFW Qs, and one where it was agreed by most that size doesn’t matter.
Mine is only about the size of a BB, and that has never bothered me at all.

@Patty_Melt – but you don’t normally wear ties, right?

ucme's avatar

So it can be used as a moist testicle towel during heated debates.

Patty_Melt's avatar

@elbanditoroso, only when I’m wearing nothing else.

It serves as a downward directional arrow, that points directly to the location of his brain.

A big beefy guy has a thick neck. The wraparound alone can gobble up so much material that traditional knots mean scant leftovers for the hangdown. Fat guys adapt to the habit of doling out the fabric til there is little reserve behind the hangdown.

As Fluther’s doyen grabatologist I can confirm that the slimming effect of Don’s grasp of length together with his red alert below the cummerbund is entirely inadvertent.

He hasn’t learned how to tie a windsor knot.

For similar reasons he eschews shoelaces.

Dutchess_III's avatar

@stanleybmanly Trump has his clothes exactly how he wants them. He has his ties tailor, made, I’m sure.

stanleybmanly's avatar

I believe you

Lightlyseared's avatar

Because he is an uneducated fuckwit who has no sense of style

^Dont hold back. Tell us what you really think. :-)
