    Why not just buy the exact same pair in the right size and say its the shoes Trump gave you? He’d probably believe it was the same ones.

      This is why you’ll always be stuck in the pack and not out ahead like me. You obviously don’t keep the original pair but you don’t buy a proper-fitting replacement pair either. You buy a series of ever-increasing sizes until you’re clomping around in 22 EEEs loudly saying “WOW ALL OF YOUR TINY SHOES LOOK REALLY FUCKING STUPID.”

      i really don’t understand how they didn’t immediately send aides to buy correctly fitting pairs. maybe these pictures are all from the first day Trump gave them the shoes?

        Nope. See AernaLingus’s comment here. This has been going on for months.peltier-laugh

        I think that not only is the oversize a totally intentional choice by Trump, but that also his sycophants know he’ll be looking to see if they are in fact clomping around in shoes too big, so they have to wear them as proof of their deference to him.

          He’s SO fucking good. Like he’s also a massive piece of shit but when he’s just being catty to his sycophants it’s hysterical.

          that’s great.

          imagining Trump’s court as a contemporary Louis XIV’s, and all the players and courtesans and eunuchs buying and wearing increasingly large and ill-fitting shoes in an attempt to curry favor and signal craven devotion.
