US President Donald Trump, 79, is used to being seen in a red tie, which is also usually left hanging a little too low.
Fashion magazine GQ already wrote in 2015 that Trump practically wears one outfit, in which only the color of the tie changes.

The red tie often seen around Trump’s neck is News18– according to the Italian brand Italo Ferretti’s handwriting.
The color red symbolizes power, dominance and self-confidence, which may be why Trump relies on it so much.
– He sees himself as an alpha leader, and red emphasizes this image, the magazine writes.
In addition, a red tie combined with a blue suit and white collar form the colors of the American flag, which in turn can strengthen Trump’s message of patriotism.
The red tie combined with the dark suit also creates a contrast that helps him stand out from other politicians.

Trump has also been seen in a blue tie from time to time.
Blue acts as the opposite of red, and the color is often associated with calmness, honesty and competence.

In December of last year, Trump’s choice of tie caused a debate. He wore a yellow tie with a blue suit, which some social media users interpreted as a tribute to Ukraine.
