Donald Trump’s recent winter outfit has generated significant attention online, with many users questioning his fashion choices. The 79-year-old former President was seen wearing a burgundy scarf and an oversized black peacoat over the weekend as temperatures dropped, prompting comparisons to the style of New York City’s mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani. This fashion moment has ignited discussions across social media platforms, particularly Twitter.
During a meeting at the White House, Trump reportedly told Mamdani that it was acceptable for him to label him a “fascist,” while also commending him for countering Republican criticism. Since their encounter, Trump has been spotted in similar attire, notably while approaching Marine One and engaging with the press, further fueling the conversation about his evolving style.
The reactions on social media have been varied and entertaining. Journalist Aaron Ruper shared a video of Trump in his new coat, which quickly garnered thousands of likes. Comments ranged from playful to critical, with one user asking, “What is he wearing?” while another quipped, “Who wore it better?” Others expressed that Trump’s outfit made him appear less presidential, with one comment suggesting he looked “more like a villain in a winter dystopia.”
As the internet continues to react, some users noted this marks a departure from Trump’s traditional attire of a red tie and blue blazer. One comment humorously remarked that Trump in a red turtleneck seemed ready to join a country club. Another observation highlighted that it appeared the former President may have taken some fashion cues from Mamdani.
This newfound interest in Trump’s winter wardrobe reflects not only a shift in his personal style but also the broader fascination with political figures and their public personas. As discussions around fashion and politics intertwine, it will be interesting to see if this marks the beginning of a new trend for Trump as he navigates his post-presidency life.
