Steve Benen expresses confusion over President Trump’s habit of giving everyone in sight … shoes. The Herald News has the story:
Have you ever imagined what it’d be like to spend a day in the president’s shoes? Well, for Trump allies on Capitol Hill, that aspiration isn’t as far-fetched as one might think.
In fact, a recent report from The Wall Street Journal details that President Trump has been gifting his favorite shoes, the Florsheim Cap Toe Oxfords, en masse to White House advisors, agency leads and seemingly anyone who finds themselves in the Oval Office with the salesman-in-chief (read: leader of the free world).
Welcome to the Hollywood universe that resides in President Trump’s head. I have no idea why he picked inexpensive Florsheim shoes, but it appears that he’s a vision in his head of all his men looking … the same.
In this Colbert video it looked like Trump was wearing the same shoes, too.
Can his signature blue blazer and red tie be far behind? A universe run by Donald Trumps?
This isn’t a joke. Given his pathological narcissism, it’s very possible he’s trying to populate his universe with himself. Psychologists must be planning to write many, many papers on this particular behavior. And, beyond the tie and blazer, what would follow that?
