Is Donald Trump a Former President, Criminal Defendant, and Style Icon?

Former White House adviser Stephen Miller made headlines on Tuesday evening when he appeared on Fox News to declare Donald Trump as not only “the most stylish president” in recent US history but also an icon who had “changed American fashion.”

Miller’s comments came in response to a New York Times article praising President Joe Biden as “dapper.” He boldly stated, “The most stylish president and first lady in our lifetimes are Donald Trump and Melania Trump. Donald Trump is a style icon. He changed American fashion in The Apprentice. People spent the next 10 years trying to dress like Donald Trump.”

While Melania Trump, a former model, is known for her expensive and fashionable wardrobe, her husband’s fashion choices have been a topic of discussion. Trump is often seen in his signature over-large, billowing suit, long red tie, and occasionally a red MAGA cap.

Critics and fashion experts have weighed in on Trump’s style, with some suggesting that past presidents like John F Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and even George HW Bush were snappier dressers. Others have shared photos of Trump looking disheveled and hangdog.

Miller’s statement was met with incredulity and criticism, with many pointing out his association with controversial border policies during Trump’s presidency. One commentator even compared Miller to a pair of Crocs if style were a person.

This is not the first time Trump’s fashion sense has been scrutinized, with The Washington Post running an article in 2019 critiquing his awkward fits and unflattering tuxedo choices. Despite the differing opinions on Trump’s style, one thing is clear – his fashion choices continue to spark debate and discussion.
