The only "weird" thing to me is that he's choosing that "cowboy" look, as a non-Republican, in the 2020s.
I guess it's appropriate if you actually live somewhere with cows and barns and hay bales and tractors and barbed-wire fences, and you ride horses as part of your daily life, but otherwise, you are a cringey poser. The literal basis of the idiom "all hat and no cattle".
Generally it's to identify yourself as a country music fan but again, why? Country music is just jingoistic pop with a phony Nashville accent. It's been a trash genre at least since Garth Brooks, and all the non shitty, non-rightwing country music has had to be retroactively rebranded as "folk" to distance itself from it.
