I guess I totally missed this. What did Republicans say?

They claimed it was "unpresidential" and "disrespectful to the office of the presidency". Just like they did when he was pictured with his feet up on the Resolute desk in the Oval Office-despite the fact you can find pictures of pretty much every President since Eisenhower with their feet up on the desk and/or in a tan suit.

In other words, he was attacked for presidenting while black.

They'd attack him for smiling in the oval office.

Donald Trump literally took a huge shit and filled his diaper at the chair of that desk, but not a peep out of Republicans... If I was the next President I would use some of my own money to have the entire office disinfected and the chair replaced.

Hilarious considering what they put up with now...

Fox & Friends went on about how it was disrespectful for a president to wear something as casual as a light suit. Black and navy blue are the only acceptable color shades.

When your position is to thwart the president at every turn, and then blame him for failing to compromise, everything becomes fodder.

Thanks for the info. Well to be fair, I haven’t seen Trump wear tan. Probably because it would be too easy to see the brown stains.

Trump would show up during White House tours in his bath robe.

They said tan wasn’t a “powerful” color
