Trump debuts presidential hat

Donald Tramp swapped his “Make America Great Again” hat on Sunday for some new presidential headgear — proudly sporting another red lid, this time with the number 45 stitched into the side in a not-so-subtle swipe at ongoing recount efforts.

Unless I’m on a job interview, the most formal I get is black “dress” sneakers, dark slacks and a tuxedo t-shirt.

I’ve personally brought back hats ever since my grandfather’s bald spot arrived.

[CurlyDave]

...And/or...the new compact cars—Falcon, Corvair, Valiant, etc.—which left little headroom for men’s hats in these smaller cars...

The real killer is the federally-mandated headrest, which is incompatible with any hat other than a ball cap.

[ManHunter]

The recount efforts aren’t about changing the results, because they won’t. The recount efforts are all about delegitimizing his presidency from the outset.

By demanding and suing for a recount in PA - despite the fact that the deadline has passed - and suing for a “hand recount” in Wisconsin they delay the reporting of electors from PA, WI and MI for the official tally and certification of the election, which pushes the voting for the president to the House and voting for the vice president to the Senate. By doing so, they create the “narrative” (I hate that word) that Trump was “selected, not elected”.

Interesting to note that the attorney representing Jill Stein’s recount efforts (who has suddenly gotten a lot of notice from the mainstream media), Mark Eric Elias, is a close associate of the Soros family and is fighting the recount for North Carolina’s gubernatorial election.

A mere coincidence, I’m sure...

Great catch for wording that everything the MSM does is excretement

Yeh!
Everything about a personal motor vehicle is now anti-freedom/gubmint-mandated! Including the soom-2.be driverless cars, etc.

And I’d bring back formal dress for the inauguration, striped pants and claw-hammer coats with top hats.

Reagan wore a morning coat for his inauguration.

A certain dignity is associated with such good taste. I think our culture has let the dignity of the individual slip - there's way to much cynicism and not enough grace these days.

BTW, how can you tell Reagan was wearing a "morning coat"? I've never heard of a "morning coat". What is it?

[Jim W N]

What does “45” have to do with the recount? Is it 45 states that he won?

I can tell because I remember it being reported when he was inaugurated. Sorry I couldn't get a better photo.

Here is the Wikipedia info on the moring coat:

Morning coat

A morning coat is a single-breasted coat, with the front parts usually meeting at one button in the middle, and curving away gradually into a pair of tails behind, topped by two ornamental buttons on the waist seam. The lapels are usually pointed (American English peak), not step (notch), since the coat is now only worn as formalwear. When it was first introduced, the step lapel was common, since it was worn as half dress. The coat can be grey or black as part of morning dress, and is usually worn with striped, or very occasionally checked, trousers.

The morning coat may also be worn as part of a morning suit, which is mid-grey with matching trousers and waistcoat.

The modern morning coat (or cutaway in American English) is a man's coat worn as the principal item in morning dress. The name derives from morning nineteenth century horseback riding exercise for gentlemen. It was regarded as an informal form of half dress. Gradually it became acceptable as an alternative to the frock coat for formal day wear or full dress. Since the nineteenth century it is normally only seen at weddings, at formal baptisms, and in England, at races such as Royal Ascot and the Derby where it is worn with a contrasting waistcoat, usually light grey or sometimes 'fancy'. It is very occasionally seen at funerals but more often it is used as day wear at formal luncheons, especially civic occasions under formal gowns, when worn with a black matching waistcoat (or 'vest'). Male members of the cabinet of Japan wear it in their first public appearance following the formation of the cabinet.

The Marshal and Clerk of the United States Supreme Court wear morning coats when the justices are appearing in public wearing their traditional robes, for example when the court is in session, or when attending the President's State of the Union address. At one time all attorneys appearing before the court wore morning coats but they now wear standard business attire. The United States Solicitor General (when the office is held by a male) and his or her male deputies continue the tradition of wearing morning dress when arguing before the court.[3]

During the Victorian and Edwardian era, in America morning coat referred to a single-breasted frock coat, so the British then made fun of the fact that Americans were unable to distinguish between morning coats and frock coats. In modern American English, morning coats are referred to as cutaway coats.

" . . . they delay the reporting of electors from PA, WI and MI for the official tally and certification of the election, which pushes the voting for the president to the House and voting for the vice president to the Senate."

That touches on a question I've been asking - if the recounts aren't finished in time, what happens to those electoral votes?

[Right_in_Virginia]

What does “45” have to do with the recount? Is it 45 states that he won?

Neither.

Trump is the 45th President of the United States.

I prefer to think of him as just... plain ‘ol 1911

Wow, well that’s a lot of stuff I didn’t know. Although I like nice looking clothes and formal wear, and although I like to look nice, I’m really a shirtsleeves and shorts kind of guy. But at the same time, I feel like we’ve lost something - the age of elegance - which I miss.

[Dr. Sivana]

But at the same time, I feel like we’ve lost something - the age of elegance - which I miss.

Yup. Look at old newsreels and look at how common people dressed for the baseball game or for the movies, and CERTAINLY for travel. Dressing well doesn't have to be about showing off, being properly dressed can also show respect for those who have to look at you.

[Steve_Seattle]

"Look at old newsreels and look at how common people dressed for the baseball game or for the movies, and CERTAINLY for travel."

In photos of old baseball games, the men typically wore coats and ties. On local TV, there's a newsreel of downtown Seattle, c. 1915, and all the men are wearing suits, and all the women are wearing long dresses. Even little boys wore ties.

I was watching a Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett version) episode yesterday, and even while hiking and camping in the Alps, Holmes and Watson are wearing sport/suit jackets, neckties, and tweed hats. The main difference between their London garb is that they are wearing boots and gaitors.

Agreed. Respect and dignity - things missing in our popular culture which we can now find in our Heavenly Family of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and which we will later find in full in Heaven.

[Dr. Sivana]

Yes. Some think that the idea of a woman dressing modestly puts her somewhere on the line closer to the Muslim attitude towards women, as if a long dress with sleeves was half-way to burqaland. The classic styles were meant to draw attention to and frame a woman's face, and to show the woman as a woman, not as a danger meant to be covered up, nor as a peep show drawing emphasizing or drawing attention to the nether areas in order to shock or titillate.

Chesterton wrote on his trip tothe Holy Land in the 1920's that the mix of Christian and Muslim women reminded him of a chess board, with the Christian women wearing white and the Muslim women wearing black.

A morning coat also known as a “cutaway” is a style of tail coat that in modern times is now only worn at very formal functions during the daytime. It is usually worn as a part of formal “morning dress.” See...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_dress

What Reagan wore at his first inaugural was technically a “stroller” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroller_(style) not a morning coat. However it is also considered to be at least semi-formal as opposed to the simple suit and tie that has become the norm.
