He is in a meeting. That gathering on the Tarmac is a meeting. This is how diplomacy works. The SecDef has a diplomatic role that is understood and implied. We want to show respect to allies and partners, make them feel important, even the smallest of countries and the smallest of economies. |
OMG, read the article. He was simply speaking to our press prior to leaving and then doing the meet and greet after landing. No meetings yet. Get a grip. |
Oh look - here he is at the *actual event,* wearing a suit.

He probably just got off a plane or was otherwise not meeting with anyone at the time. I'm sure you're horrified though, right? |
Already said, the "event" started when he got off the plane and met dignitaries. I guess we can go back and forth with me saying that getting off the plane and meeting dignitaries is an event and you saying no, but it would make more sense if we agree to disagree. Saying something over and over doesn’t change people’s minds. Whether you think Macron dressed appropriately or not (for an unknown event that you have made up a scenario about), that’s on you. Enjoy having an opinion. |
This is a terrible look overall and not appropriate. |
I agree it's a stupid look, but I think some men wear their suit blazer to fly versus packing it? Although I wouldn't think Hegseth has any limitations on flying/luggage that would require that. |
|
It's a bad look. Just put it in a garment bag. |
We need a spin off of this thread that is only Ivanka photos. She’s the only one with interesting fashion choices. |
Isn't he an alcoholic? Maybe he pooped himself and didn't have other dress pants? Just guessing. |
Other people are in uniform. This IS a meeting. |
+1 Adding a random photo of Macron (who has his own weird problems with his wife and being groomed) has little to do with the alcoholic Hegseth wearing jeans when meeting people for the first time. Queen Elizabeth did not think meeting people at the plane was not a meeting and, therefore, wear jeans. She saved jeans for when she was with horses. lol |
If they themselves believe they are good looking, then they do they have so many facial procedures? Eric, Ivanka, Tiff, Don Junior's ex, Lara, and more have had procedures that have changed their faces. The Trumps, with their lack of chins and horse teeth, are not a naturally handsome bunch. |
Fertile? Ewwww... If you want to make the case people are better dressed, you need to provide photos. Otherwise, you sound like another boring bot. |
This is how the Princess of Wales dresses to meet dignitaries immediately on the tarmac after a flight. Come on now... he could have changed in that first class cabin. ![]() |
