Charlie Pierce today on Trump's campaign rallies; "Riefenstahlian clown shows."

........

El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago threw another one of his endless strings of public wankfests on Tuesday night in Orlando. (And is there anything more Of The Political Moment than this particular president* having one of his speech-like episodes in the Amway Center?) Ostensibly, this was to kickoff his attempt to remain president* for another nightmarish exercise in malfeasance, nonfeasance, and impeachable offenses. However, outside of feeding democratic institutions to the wolverines, this president* hasn't done anything except hold these Riefenstahlian clown shows every couple of months, so it can be fairly said that his 2016 campaign never stopped—especially when, as was the case Tuesday night, he mentions Hillary Rodham Clinton more often than anyone he's likely to be running against this time around.

I thought that the headline said "Riefenstahlian clown shoes"! I simply can't figure out what sort of clown shoes one would associate with Leni Reifenstahl.
