That day, Obama held a live press conference on increasing of the U.S. military response against the Islamic State in Syria. Obama's appearance on television in the tan suit sparked significant interest leading to large amounts media and social media criticism for his choice in suit. The issue remained prominent in the media issue for several days with the issue being particularly widely discussed on talk shows. Rep. Peter King called Trump's wearing of the suit unpresidential.
Despite the trivial nature of the event, it became a memorable controversy in Obama's presidency. The scandal particularly contrasted with the chaotic presidency of Donald Trump that followed, and became a metaphor for the different standards to which Obama and Trump were held.
