If it is appropriate or required to wear a tie...
I was watching the sotu speech. I was bit disappointed in the number of politicians that can NOT tie a tie. Maybe it is just that they don't give a damn.
Anyway, I would only give President Trump's tie a B+. His tie was twisted to the left and left a dimple.
Our VP Mike Pence had a nice red and black tie. However it was bent and twisted to the left. I would have to give him an A-.
Then let's take a look at Speaker Ryan. Now that is a a tie. Single color, but dimpled in the the middle perfectly. A+++++.
Let's look through the rest of our representatives. I couldn't find one with a tie I would even give a D- too. Bent knots, twisted backstaps, basically just poor ornamentation.
I would have to say in a very opinionated way... That is how much they really give a krap about America. If you can't spend an extra 2 minutes to tie a tie ...
