Nothing, really. The worst that could have happened to personal computers was that they’d show a wrong date. What people were really worried about was how computers responsible for critical infrastructure would handle it.
I know I’ll probably get downvoted for saying this, but the amount of hate he got for doing this was about as unwarranted as Obama’s white suit episode.
There was a government shutdown and the White House catering staff was on unpaid leave. And he was hosting a football team, not some delegation of international politicians. He basically did what anyone else would do if they have an unexpected visit and no food in the house. His guests had no complaints either, only the press hated it.
It wasn’t the fact that it looked good on him that he got crap for, it was the question whether it was appropriate for the occasion (a press conference discussing the potential escalation of military strikes in Syria).
Tradition demands that you wear a dark suit for something as serious as discussing the sacrifice of other people’s lives. A tan suit has more of a lighthearted vibe and is therefore something you’d wear to a festivity, not when discussing drone strikes.
I’m not even a Trumper, I don’t care if he’s re-elected or not, but he certainly wasn’t as terrible a president as everyone says. Most of the drama was just the media making flies into elephants.
