Yahoo News Donald Trump's tiny, tiny watch is TERRIFYING
The President of the United States, for better or for worse, serves as a physical emblem of his country. So to a certain degree, his style holds some consequence.
In his 1993 Washington Post column, 'Noted With Disdain', Gene Weingarten lamented President Bill Clinton's lacklustre, 20-quid digital watch:
No one disputes that the most powerful man on Earth should be free to wear whatever he wishes, but we should not confuse freedom with licence. If Bill Clinton began arriving at state dinners in bare feet and bib overalls, stock prices would edge uneasily down. The president need not be impeccably tailored, but a certain dignity is expected. So what's with that, that... toaster on his wrist?
We're with Weingarten here, and we thank stand-up comedian Joe Mande for bringing everyone's attention to Trump's latest faux pas: a terrible gold watch with a horrifyingly tight band.

Looks painful, doesn't it? Watches are meant to complement an outfit, not stop blood flow.
The golf course, luckily, is no state dinner. He doesn't need to pull out all the stops for this look – but we're still a bit concerned about his circulation. Maybe consider a bracelet extender, Don.
