This is some pro level trolling. She's gonna give some of them aneurisms.
- I know Obama was unjustly ostracized for wearing a tan suit, but I honestly (I'm European) don't know why a tan suit is a bad thing? Is it frowned upon for some reason? Do tan suits have a backstory (before the Obama thing) that I should know about?
  Honest question.
  
  It was absurd nonsense; yet one of many examples of how the far-right in our country will manufacture outrage just to justify their existence.
  There was another incident wherein the far-right went after Obama used Dijon mustard on something.
  
  The far right was reaching for anything at all they could personally attack Obama with. The only things they ever came up with was the tan suit and him asking for Dijon mustard. Compare that to any recent Republican candidate.
  
  Don't forget not saluting a military officer. Even though, as a non-military civilian, he shouldn't be using military salutes anyway.
  
  Because I guess to be presidential you have to wear dark colors when talking about serious topics? It was very stupid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_tan_suit_controversy
  
  But to be clear, because OP was asking.
  This was complete bullshit. The hero of the Conservatives, Ronald “Let’s trade Missles for Hostages with the Iranians and use the proceeds to Defy Congress in Nicaragua” Reagan wore tan suits.
  
  Look up “terrorist fist jab” and then subsequently realize that racists don’t use thoughts or logic, only hatred and idiocy.
  
  Tan suits are very slightly less formal than navy, grey, or black. That's literally it. Completely a case of idiots looking for a reason to be mad and justify their preexisting biases.
  
  They did the same thing when he rode a bike with... A bike helmet on.
  
  A tan suit is frowned upon by regressives if the occupant is black. Same as using mustard. And greeting anyone too casually.
- It’s fantastic and I’m loving this 🍿
- I hope she posts herself putting Dijon on a burger as a follow-up
