On April 19, 2016, POTUS candidate Hillary Clinton was so tone-deaf that she actually wore a $12,500 Georgio Armani jacket to deliver a speech on income inequality.

Would it be fair and relevant to criticize Trump for wearing expensive suits to various functions?

Yep, that figures.

"Would it be fair and relevant to criticize Trump for wearing expensive suits to various functions?"

He always wears expensive suits.

But if Trump usually dressed casually then wore a $47,500 Desmond Merrion suit to deliver a speech on income inequality ... yeah, I think it would be fair and relevant to criticize him.

Moot point. He wouldn't deliver a speech on income inequality because that issue is bogus.

In the end you still have rich people in clothes costing more than a person in poverty earns in a year lecturing us all about poverty. Probably while advocating for tax policy changes to cut taxes on the rich (Trump and GOP) or Xlinton caginess on ways to allow the Fortune 500 to escape paying taxes through all kinds of loopholes in the tax code.

I don't find either especially admirable.

I also think that some of these designer clothes are given to women pols and celebs at a steep discount or even for free. I think a lot of Manchelle's ball gowns were like that. They would announce she had a ball gown for $20K or more, an evening dress about the same. Well, that would mean the 0bamas were spending 10% of their annual income in the White House on just two of Manchelle's pig-on-stilts fancy dresses. So something there did not add up to me.

I'm sure Trump pays full price for suits. Hitlery? Maybe she gets a discount. After all, giving famous stars and pols your rags to wear at cost or for free is probably a donation you can deduct on your taxes as an advertising cost.

I’m posting this to congratulate Armani for being able to sell a potato sack with sleeves for $12,500, which, in this case, holds about 200 pounds of fertilizer.

The only potato sacks modern America knows are the little plastic 5lb and 10lb sacks you buy potatoes in at the supermarket.

I never heard them called potato sacks. I recall they were called burlap bags or even gunny sacks.

But the weave does look like an old potato sack. And it fits her very poorly, like it was taken off the rack. And maybe will return there after this little outing.

"lecturing us all about poverty."

I have no idea what that means. Delivering a lecture on how to get out of poverty? I think that's a worthwhile lecture.

"Probably while advocating for tax policy changes to cut taxes on the rich ..."

Just the rich? Or everyone? Let's not forget ... if you're looking for a job you don't ask a poor person for one.

"I also think that some of these designer clothes are given to women pols and celebs at a steep discount or even for free."

Or simply loaned to them. No matter the method, it's the principle of the thing. Hillary's outfit is insensitive and contrary to the event. Not that I care. But if liberals can have thin skin, then so can I.

Not that I care. But if liberals can have thin skin, then so can I.

That's a lot of keystrokes to demonstrate how much you don't care.
