Because he refuses to have them adjusted to actually fit properly. He has some fixation on wearing them off the rack.

Agreed...but "the customer is always right" especially when he's paying big bucks. According to Ezra Lizio-Katzen, owner of the Washington menswear boutique Ezra Paul, Trump's suits look so bad “Because he’s wearing a suit size probably two sizes at least too big for him in order to not make it look like he’s got a big stomach and instead make it look like he’s just a big guy."

According to the link, his suits are bespoke, not off the rack. But they certainly look like they're off the rack.

Yes and no, the spray tan, ill fitting suits and so forth are judgement things and I think are not the same as criticizing say his balance issues on walking on the boobytrapped ramp at westpoint.
""So I walked gingerly down — that was on every newscast in the world and I never went down," Trump said, despite there should have been no danger of him falling while walking down the ramp. "I never went down, either, I never went on my ass, I'll tell you, I wasn't going to fall."
"I think that was a boobytrap," Trump said."

"Mr. Trump’s public association with Brioni goes back to 2004, when he wrote in “Trump: Think Like a Billionaire” that the brand supplied him with suits for “The Apprentice.” “I wear Brioni suits, which I buy off the rack,” he wrote. Brioni has a 220-square-foot store in the newly opened Trump International Hotel in Washington."

Who is doing that? That would be Trump.
ETA: In addition, what female Republicans deserve mocking for being fat and ugly because of something they've done or said related to being "fat and ugly"? For example, has a fat and ugly female Republican criticized or made fun of someone else for being fat and ugly? If so, then she would deserve to be mocked for having done so.

From the link above:
Someone is wrong, either Brioni or Trump. I'm in a quandry as to whom, though: Trump is a pathological liar but his suits look like they're off the rack because of the poor fit.

The irony of the actual sound track that was used at the North Carolina GOP Convention last week while waiting for Trump to speak was off the charts. "Brain Damage"?Brianna Keilar and John Berman have some fun with it:

When they play the Titanic's "My heart will go on" Brianna Keller can't hold the snickering back.
I think all the stuff about Dump's tie or his pants is a distraction. He's a sloppy dresser is nuff said.

By his behavior, those fit, but, by the reaction to him from the loonies, he's more like Jesus to me. Not only were they both supposed to save their people from the evil oppressors, but also, once they failed, their followers started coming up with excuses and explanations about how his failure was really a success in some secret, possibly even supernatural, way.

Despite a lingering urge to disparage whatever about T**** appears, I basically agree. If he had been an incontinent fat man with a bad suit who served the people and did the right thing, we'd be disparaging cheap abuse, just as some, at least, do when idiots and right wing shills rag on Biden for his stutter.

Except in Dump's case he does deserve to hear that's he's fat and ugly given he frequently calls women that.

Exactly my point. When someone mocks someone else for something and they have the same attributes or do the same thing, then they deserve to be mocked for it in return.

I disagree. Fat people who are asshats deserve to be called fat asshats. Nice people who are overweight don't get to have their weight used as an insult.

I don't see how that works well--it just back-doors undesirable pejoratives.
"We're not going to make fun of fat people for being fat, only the ones we don't like."
Having an unsympathetic target doesn't make fat-shaming any more appropriate--it just enables an "acceptable" way for the habit to continue.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but it reminds me of people that think they're being enlightened by refusing to use the n-word except on people that "deserve" it by exhibiting negative personality traits.

Unfortunately, clothes do not make the man.
The Nazis had uniforms designed by Hugo Boss to look stylish. But they were still ******* Nazis.
So whether it's a lardass T**** in an ill-fitting suit, or a tailored long, thin streak of pelican **** like his advisor Miller, they are both obnoxious turds.

False equivalent because that's not what I said "deserving" was at all:
"When someone mocks someone else for something and they have the same attributes or do the same thing, then they deserve to be mocked for it in return."
"In addition, what female Republicans deserve mocking for being fat and ugly because of something they've done or said related to being "fat and ugly"? For example, has a fat and ugly female Republican criticized or made fun of someone else for being fat and ugly? If so, then she would deserve to be mocked for having done so."

True. About the only good things that can be said about the Nazis are that they built the Autobahn, the Volkswagen, and had great looking uniforms.

Also, the Fuhrer was a terrific dancer (not many people know it).

The goddess Kate certainly did.
JESUS ******* CHRIST THIS ISN'T THAT HARD.
You don't get to use qualities that aren't bad in attacking someone just because the person is bad.
"It's okay to make fun of Trump for being fat/ugly/a bad dresser because he's a bad person so he deserves everything he gets" is still insulting to fat/ugly/bad dresser people who aren't Trump and who are perfectly good people.
And no "Trump has used those insults too! That surely makes it okay!" is not either.
