The article explores the audacious and chaotic style of Donald Trump's second term, contrasting it with the more restrained aesthetics of previous administrations. Trump's fashion, characterized by ostentatious displays and unconventional choices, represents a shift towards a culture of excess, dubbed 'American bling.' It captures how Trump's image reflects a departure from decorum and traditional presidential prestige, appealing to a significant base. Critics caution against dismissing this aesthetic as merely superficial, acknowledging its potent influence over the public and political landscape.
"The age of Donald Trump is an assault on the senses. There is a brutish grandeur to a president who, in his heavy, shoulder-padded Brioni suits, looks like a buffalo painted by Holbein."
"Power dressing already has a new look. Out with the careful patrician decorum of the Bidens, in with a novel era of American bling."
