MODERATORS
It was unusual. You can imagine the intrigue that would occur if Trump did something like this. Why the tan suit? What is he distracting us from? Step out of your subjective shoes for a moment. The blue team hates the red team. The red team hates the blue team. Just about anything out of the ordinary the other team does is controversial. It's exacerbated by the sensationalist media who want your ears and eyeballs to show you ads and by politicians who will make a big stink about everything to keep you paying attention to them so that you remember to vote for them in the next election.
