With winter coming in fast, President Donald Trump has got himself a plush new burgundy scarf to keep the cold at bay—which unfortunately has received a rather frosty reception online.
Appearing in the long fabric neckwear and an oversized black overcoat on the South Lawn of the White House on Saturday while making his way to Marine One, Trump’s critics immediately drew comparisons to the evil Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars.
“Quite a look for Trump today,” wrote journalist Aaron Rupar in the caption to a clip of the president speaking to journalists.
“Yikes! Today, Donald Trump looks like a cross between Emperor Palpatine and Don Corleone!,” wrote political commentator Russell Drew. “Zohran Mamdani really effed him up.”
