It Could Have Been Adult Diapers

Instead of pissing on subordinates to mark the most servile members of the pack, Donald Trump is buying them shoes like the ones he wears.   When Trump came back into the Oval Office last year, he was suffering ankle issues and looking for comfortable footwear that wouldn't detract from his stately, businessman image.    He eventually came across a shoe brand and style that suited him perfectly:  an Oxford style dress shoe by Florsheim which sold for a modest $145 a pair.  Trump was so pleased with his footwear discovery that he decided to award each of the men in his inner circle a pair of their own.

Donald Trump has some rich dudes in his inner circle.   Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is a billionaire, as are some of the government agency heads and other prominent individuals appointed by Trump like NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.   Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are second tier rich guys in Trump World with individual wealth somewhere in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and then there's the relatively impoverished Secretary of State Marco Rubio whose wealth tallies only about a million-and-a-half dollars.    None people in that group, except possibly for Rubio, were likely to have had Florsheims in their closets - but some of them do now.

Recently Trump has decided that since he is so pleased with his new Florsheim dress shoes, others would be, too.  He began guessing the shoe sizes of the male sycopants who were closest to him and ordering them shoes like his.   The shoes were being delivered to the White House and gifted on the premises.  Some recipients reportedly took their old shoes off while in the Oval Office and put the new shoes on.

One female staffer remarked to The Wall Street Journal, "All the boys have them."   Another elaborated to the same reporter, "It's hysterical because everybody's afraid not to wear them."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio received a pair that were too big, but wears them anyway.  A photo posted prominently on-line shows about a half-inch gap between the back of his heel and the shoe leather.  Unfortunately for the diminutive Floridian with the the big shoes, Ringling Brothers has ceased operation.

The cult marches on - in new shoes!

Count your blessings, boys.  It could have been adult diapers!
