Now comes a question I just know others are dying to ask: How does Elon Musk get away with attending a Cabinet meeting wearing a MAGA ballcap, dark shirt, dark pants, dark jacket … with no tie hanging from his neck?
The dipsh** took center stage at first Cabinet meeting held since Donald Trump returned to the White House. I didn’t listen to most of what the asshole had to say, given that his presence anywhere near the halls of power bug the living crap out of me.
I’ve always understood that the White House had a dress code. Those conducting the business of the state generally dressed in business attire. Men wore suits and ties; women wore pant suits or blouses, skirts and jackets.
Yet there is the zillionaire space rocket/motor vehicle mogul preening and prancing around the Cabinet Room like he owns the place. Well, he doesn’t! Neither does Trump. The place belongs to you and me!
I rather like the idea of enforcing an unwritten dress code for those who are doing the people’s business inside the White House. Many presidents never did their jobs in the Oval Office without wearing a suit and tie. Sunday might be a day when the president shows up with an open-collar shirt and denims.
Seeing Elon Musk, though, wearing his MAGA get-up strutting around the Cabinet Room in front of sharply dressed men and women, well … it makes me sick.
