Trump wears a tiny jacket to have dinner with the queen and Twitter can't handle it
Donald Trump and his family are currently in the U.K. visiting with the royal family, and although they're doing their best to fit in, the trip hasn't gone without a little controversy.
At the state banquet that took place at Buckingham Palace on Monday, June 3, the president was quickly criticized for placing his hand on the queen's back, while his daughter Ivanka was slammed for not putting her hand over her heart while the U.S. national anthem played. The biggest elephant in the room, however, was Donald Trump's tiny jacket.
For the white-tie event, Trump donned a black suit with tails, a white waistcoat and a matching bow-tie, similarly to other guests including Prince Charles and Prince William. However, Trump's jacket appears to be slightly cropped and just way too small. Surely his intention was to dress appropriately, but the ill-fitting coat is almost laughable.
The president is often criticized for his poorly fitting suits with baggy pants and extra-long sleeves, which somehow, his banquet look still managed to include.
On Twitter, people were confused by the look, even calling it "sloppy."
Trump
Jacket sleeves & pants, too long. Who knows the shirt sleeve length, since we can't see the cuff. No pocket square.
The bellowing "pantaloons" that drape over the shoes.
The bizarrely long waistcoat.
I have never seen anyone make a white tie & tailcoat look so sloppy pic.twitter.com/O4OSImQx9f— ☇RiotWomenn☇ (@riotwomennn) June 3, 2019
Whoever fitted Trump for these tails should be fired. The proportions are completely wrong for a man of his portly build. Waistcoat too longing too tight, jacket too short. Coat sleeve is too long. It's a mess. pic.twitter.com/tHLsBqprn0

What was with Trump’s suit? The waistcoat was six inches longer than the top-small jacket and the pants were baggy. Very odd.

Not to sidetrack but whoever tailors for Trump is my hero. He looks like he's wearing a child's suit jacket 😂😂

Melania Trump, on the other hand, looked stunning in an all-white sleeveless Dior gown with an illusion neckline and matching white gloves. Her hair was pulled back into a simple, but sophisticated up-do.
Earlier in the day, the Trumps took a tour of Westminster Abbey and had tea with the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall at Clarence House, where fans noticed Camilla may have given a cheeky clue into her thoughts on the visit.
