Former Republican President Donald Trump has been in the news lately due to his recent arrest and arraignment on 34 felony charges in New York City.
One of the charges alleges he falsified business records to pay hush money to adult-film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal during his 2016 presidential campaign.
However, some people seem to be more interested in the appearance of Trump's suit jacket during his court appearance, which appeared to have stains on it.
A menswear writer even claimed the stains were from makeup and offered tips on how to remove them.
\u201cTRICKS FOR REMOVING STAINS\n\nTrump appeared in court today in a stained suit jacket. The stain appears to be from cosmetics. I commented on how oil-based stains, such as this, require care to remove. Some people had questions, so here's a quick thread on how to treat stains \ud83e\uddf5\u201d— derek guy (@derek guy) 1680646436
But others disagreed, suggesting the stains may have been from sweat or other causes.
Regardless, the stains on the jacket generated much discussion and speculation online.
\u201c@dieworkwear Nothing screams "nobody loves me" like walking around with stains visible to everyone but you. Not surprised Melania didn't have his back for this particular appearance.\u201d— derek guy (@derek guy) 1680646436
\u201c@dieworkwear @emptywheel I think I can smell the picture\u201d— derek guy (@derek guy) 1680646436
\u201c@dieworkwear Finally, something of value to learn courtesy of TFG.\n\nThank you.\u201d— derek guy (@derek guy) 1680646436
\u201c@dieworkwear You know what, it has a peculiar color. I would almost bet it is his hair colorant.\u201d— derek guy (@derek guy) 1680646436
\u201c@dieworkwear The stain is many layers deep.\u201d— derek guy (@derek guy) 1680646436
\u201c@dieworkwear Other tips: don\u2019t use cheap circus grease paint as part of your \u2018healthy balanced human being\u2019 disguise\u2026or do, either way\u2026\u201d— derek guy (@derek guy) 1680646436
\u201c@dieworkwear @justintbrown This is actually a rare case of a suit being wore by a stain, which is much harder to get rid of.\u201d— derek guy (@derek guy) 1680646436
\u201c@dieworkwear That orange spot on the clothes starts small, but grows and spreads until the patient is wearing an orange jumpsuit.\u201d— derek guy (@derek guy) 1680646436
Of course, it is impossible to know for sure what caused the stains on Trump's jacket without more information.
It could be that they are the result of wear and tear or some other innocent cause. But for many, the mystery of the grubby jacket is just another strange twist in the ongoing saga of Trump's legal troubles and his public image.
On Tuesday afternoon, Trump turned himself in at the Manhattan Criminal Court and was taken into custody.
He has been accused of committing 34 felony charges, which include the fabrication of business records to conceal a payment of $130,000 made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in the last days of his 2016 presidential campaign, allegedly to keep her from revealing their alleged affair.
After his arraignment, Trump went on an extensive rant about various conspiracies and grievances.
He complained about what he perceives as the "onslaught of fraudulent investigations" unjustly directed towards him, including "Russia, Russia, Russia," the two impeachment "hoaxes," the mishandling of classified documents at his Florida resort which he now refers to as the "boxes hoax," and his "persecution" by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
