americans get angry when you have a good time and act like a human, especially in a suit--and it's a tailored suit, not some off the rack, ill-fitting embarrassment from the men's warehouse.
but it's ok to shit in your suit on live TV. you can be feeble, and you can mumble , and your words can barely make sense, as long as you project the illusion of a better; gods don't jump in pools, they don't show emotion, definitely not in a suit.
one of the many contradictions of the labyrinthine american value system that only truly makes sense if you're a fucking idiot.
It's not American, it's corporate. No one who isn't suckling on boots actually cares about the "dress code" of jumping into a pool in a tailored suit.
If Trump jumped in a pool, it'd be other people shitting themsleves instead of Trump for once. Because no one expects him to still be able to jump. But then they'd be chortling to themselves on network about how he's so fun and free from the stuffy norms of established politicians.
It's not tricky, it's not some byzantine culture war. They just don't like Mamdani and what he represents politically, so they're saying anything he does is bad.
The fact that conservatives (regressives), who value strength, chose an almost dead, fat, pants-shitting, draft dodging coward as their idol speaks volumes about that ideology and how pathetic it truly is.
All of that is true, but he took off his shoes while keeping the suit jacket on. We need to find the deeper, hidden meaning in this.
