For over a decade, I havehave a vague suspicion that Trump

Might be a man of poor grooming. Actually, I should say hygiene. I assumed he is a man that would often slap on colognerather than bathe. His suits are expensive but ill-fitting. Has anyone ever heard any rumors to this effect?

... worse cuts on them I've seen on a gentlemen of his financial status.

There are suit basics and Trump just slaps on a jacket that he got off a Chinese rack and goes to work ... yeap ... a slob ... like Bannon but with a couple of more dollars

12. It's a combination of his sense of aesthetics being stuck in the 80s and trying to hide his fat.

His brass and glass buildings, his love of tall curvy blondes with big hair, everything he's into is very Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

The weird thing is that his sons all dress the same way. I suppose it's to impress or imitate him, but he seems to favor Jared and he dresses like somebody with money and a sighted tailor.

"I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her," he said in 2005 about a woman on the set of the soap opera "Days of Our Lives." "You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet."

if his grooming leaves something to be desired. Of course, he may be taking lessons from Steve Bannon who truly looks like a homeless person.

7. I've always imagined he has an odor about him. That "old man" smell.

I'm a septuagenarian who bathes. I imagine he is more a slob. I imagine lingering body smells are soaked into his suits.

11. Nah -- he's just a slob who simply cannot see himself as others see him. The mirror lies to him...

He looks in the mirror and sees the man of 30 or more years ago -- tanned, trim, vigorous, full head of hair, man about town, seducer. That imaginary image is what is living in the attic of his cobwebby mind; the real man is the decaying and ugly Picture of Dorian Gray that presents itself to the world.
