20. He's deliberately trying to say he is not a typical politician.

That he is different, and represents ordinary people.

Typically I might agree with the idea of him wearing traditional clothing, but I looked
at his pictures with him wearing a suit and it is off putting.

He is a very large, hulking kind of guy with a stern face and expression.

The suit and tie make him look scary.

I like him better in softer shirts, hoodies, etc.
He looks less menacing. More friendly and approachable.

It is interesting that his wife is quite the clothes horse, she wears very fashionable clothing.
She is petite and adorable. She would certainly know how to dress her husband if he or she thought
it was a good idea.

I'm thinking John should just be John 🙂😉 MLAA Sep 2022 #1
Why would he change? Because Trump said he didn't like the way he dresses Bev54 Sep 2022 #2

Yes, if he changed now it would look phony and it just might throw off his mojo. Peregrine Took Sep 2022 #14
I'd be good with that. Hell, wear a "welcome to Pennsylvania" tshirt to gig Oz. Funtatlaguy Sep 2022 #18
He's 6'9". I'm sure suits for him would need to be custom made. LakeArenal Sep 2022 #19
