"Everything happens at a slower pace here. Everyday life in Hawaii is generally relaxed, laid-back, easygoing... Casual dress is standard in the Islands -- rubber slippers are worn almost everywhere.
Business wear can be an Aloha shirt, chinos and loafers. It's extremely rare to see someone in a suit and tie and if you do, they are probably going to court."

Commented,
----------------- Reporting like this ... makes Trump supporters think that the media looks for any misstep that this president makes to pounce, and in this case I fully agree.
I have no doubt that Trump did not intend for his comment to be taken as a sign of disrespect. These types of conversations would be difficult for anyone much less someone like Trump.
How about focusing on Trump's tax plan which would be the largest transfer of wealth to the ultra rich in the nation's history all paid for by the middle class voter that Trump campaigned for. How about showing how that Virginia coal miner would be paying for tax cuts that would ensure people like Trump and his family continue to pay little to no taxes. That would be news worth reading.

--------------------- And a comment on the Comment: the "tax reform" and "healthcare" legislative proposals to transfer working Americans' money to wealthy Americans didn't come from Pres. Trump in the first place, it's what some members of Congress have been saying they want. The President's moves in that direction are, I think, his attempt to call their bluff and "rub their noses in" that rhetoric.
