On 2 February 2017, International Business Times (IBT) pubished an article headlined Donald Trump White House Dress Code Policy? Female Staffers Must ‘Dress Like Women,’ President Says. Citing an source called Axios, the IBT reported that: The IBT article appeared to be sourced entirely from a speculative 2 February 2017 Axios article about the personality of President Trump, not from a documented White House dress code being enforced by the new administration. After several paragraphs of exposition about President Trump's purported likes, dislikes, and motivations, Axios surmised that Trump's sartorial preferences were specific and rigid. Axios cited a source who [has] worked with Trump, presumably not someone party to current goings-on in the White House: At no point did the original source suggest or claim that President Trump had instituted a White House dress code mandating women wear dresses only. That article cited an anonymous source who almost certainly does not work with President Trump in the White House and vacillated between speculative statements and anecdotes about the current chief executive's likes and dislikes. A request for comment from the White House had not been responded to at publication time.
