When Donald Trump stepped off his plane on a blustery day in Indiana this week, audiences were treated to an accidental peek at the president-elect’s low-budget fashion hack.
When the wind tousled Trump’s signature hairdo on the tarmac in Indianapolis Thursday, it also blew his red tie over his shoulder, revealing that he tapes the back of his tie to the front.

Trump’s answer? Two pieces of Scotch tape. Left unclear is whether Trump will continue with this DIY solution once he becomes president.
