The pathetic people who control our military, treasury, commerce, and National Intelligence are scared to death to tell Donald that they have their own shoes. He makes them ALL wear identical Florsheims that he got them so they match as they dance for him like mortified seals.

For Trump to give them $145 Florsheims is really a move that says, "You're little better than an intern in my eyes."

... when I get a presser gonna put on my shoes and walk all over for the cameras!

They look like the latest graduates from a door to door sales class.

My grandfather had a pair just like them, we buried him in them sixty years ago.

their fish if they didn't have squires to do it for them already. Those Florsheims will be a joke at a future cocktail party. They might even have a bro party where the price of admission is Florsheims to be donated to Salvation Army. Or the strippers will wear them.

Maybe it's the picture angle, but some look too big, some look too small.

"A world of secret hungers,
Perverting the men who make your laws
Every desire is hidden away,
In drawer, in a desk,
By a Naughahyde chair
On a rug where they walk and drool
Past the girls in the office

You see in the back, of the City Hall mind
The dream of a girl about thirteen
Off with her clothes and into a bed,
Where she tickles his fancy all night long"

“Nobody dast blame this man. You don’t understand: Willy was a salesman. And for a salesman, there’s no rock bottom to the life. He don’t put a bolt to a nut, he don’t tell you the law or give you medicine. He’s a man way out there in the blue riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. And then you get yourself a couple spots on your hat and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream boy, it comes with the territory.” — Arthur Miller, “Death of a Salesman.”

Trump dictates a clothing choice meant to force dominance over them and by humiliating them diminish their independence. It is ghastly pathetic. Another outward manifestation of his insatiable black hole of pitiful need. I ran out of “WTFs so long ago.

NEWS — Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.

“Everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes.

We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.
