PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Former President Donald Trump's sense of style has come under scrutiny, according to OK! Magazine.

During an interview with Elon Musk social media users had a lot to say about the ex-president's suit in some of the pictures that were posted on X.



 

In one of the photos, former President Trump's suit had noticeable shoulder pads which garnered online attention. "Look at the shoulder pads on the jacket tonight! Guy thinks he playing middle linebacker!" Trump critic Ron Filipkowski commented on the picture.

Donald Trump's fashion fails

This is not the first time this year that the former POTUS's choice of clothing has been criticized.

The 78-year-old MAGA strongman was ridiculed for wearing a loose-fitting suit while delivering a campaign speech in June.



 

"With all the people he’s fired over the years, his tailor still keeps their job somehow," Filipkowski quipped in the caption of the video.

Donald Trump, who is running to become the next President of the United States in the 2024 election, garnered negative attention for his bizarre interview with Elon Musk.

There were concerns as the ex-commander-in-chief appeared to slur during his speech and he also seemingly sounded strange when saying certain words like "millions" and "silencing."

When Trump's spokesperson Steven Cheung was inquired about the former president’s slurring by the BBC, he responded, "Must be your hearing."

Meanwhile, some medical professionals believe there may be more to Trump's health based on his speech patterns.

According to Ben Michaelis, a clinical psychologist who has conducted cognitive assessments for the New York Supreme Court, he finds it unusual that Trump jumps between topics when speaking.

“There’s reasonable evidence suggestive of forms of dementia,” Michaelis claimed. “The reduction in complexity of sentences and vocabulary does lead you to a certain picture of cognitive diminishment,” he said.

“Tangentiality certainly amped up and it’s difficult to follow him,” he explained. “You’d expect some cognitive diminishment of course, he’s 78 years old — if he was your grandfather you wouldn’t expect anything different. He just happens to be running for president,” he said.

Internet derides Donald Trump for wearing 'classless' suit

One X user remarked, "Donald's suits a time capsule of 80s excess, complete with shoulder pads and baggy pants. He's a realtor from 'Dynasty' stuck in a fashion time warp!"



 

Another user said, "Trump is an icon of classlessness."



 

Another user claimed, "lol… he’s probably had it since the 80s when shoulder pads were in."



 

One X user wrote, "He’s too cheap to buy good, well fitting suits."



 

Another user asserted, "Maybe he hasn't bought a new suit since the 80s."



 

One user tweeted, "Hide the shrinking old man...."
