It can be hard sometimes to cast one's mind back to pre-Trump politics, when lying to the public, stoking racial tensions, and "joking" about trading in regions of your own country were not the norm.
But if you take a moment to recall this day five years ago, you'll find yourself transported to a simpler time, when the president's outfit - as opposed to his deranged tweets - were making headlines.
On 29 August 2014, everyone was talking about Barack Obama's press conference the previous day. Or, to be more specific, the fact that he wore a tan suit, rather than a more traditional blue or grey option.
To commemorate the monumental event, The Daily Show tweeted out a compilation of the extensive coverage of tansuitgate.
Â
Many others rejoiced in the nostalgia that the suit's fifth anniversary evoked.
Â
While endless people pointed out the vast contrast between the last administration and the current one.
Â
And some took it as an opportunity to dig out other history-making tan suits.
