I saw today that Trump's net worth was $6.5 billion in just the first year of his presidency with most of the proceeds coming from his crypto scam. Then there was another item that drew my interest and that was that Trump had purchased his favorite shoes for his staff to you know, show how much he appreciated their super awesome dedication to kissing his as... I mean devotion to him. As many of you who have been with me for a while, I am not a well dressed raconteur especially in Thailand where it is sub-saharan Africa hot about 10 months a year which is a blessing because I have not had to shovel any of that white bullshit in over 5 years. I am however among the snootiest of shoe snobs because if you don't take care of your feet, you're going to pay for it hard in the long run. A few years ago Charlie Sheen was on Howard Stern talking about this time he was having dinner in New York and Trump walked up and handed him some 'Tiffany Cufflinks' that were 'platinum' because he had not seen Charlie since his wedding. Charlie had some other things he was getting insured and he had some other jewelry and appraiser was looking at and Charlie asked him to have a look at the cuff links and the jeweler said, 'these are fake cubic zirconias' and Charlie scoffed because it was not the only time had been caught being a cheap skate. Don Johnson was another one of Trump's victims during the height of the Miami Vice popularity, Don was racing boats off the coast of everywhere and Trump told him that he would like to sponsor Don's boat. So Don puts a Trump Taj Mahal logo on his boat and he was actually pretty successful at running boats. At the end of the season, he sent a bill to Trump for $800,000 for the sponsorship which is what Trump agreed to. A paltry sum considering how rich Trump is. Would anyone like to bet on whether or not Trump paid it? When Trump was handing out his shoes to his favorite people, well, he didn't exactly ask them their shoe size. So Trump just ordered a bunch of his favorite shoes, Florsheim's and Marco is such an embarrassing sycophant that shoe size doesn't matter to him but apparently Marco has extremely small feet. I absolutely hate the fact that Trump and I have something in common besides being white, we have the same shoe size, 12. Now here is the thing about Florsheim shoes. In the 1970s they were and still very popular shoe because they were very opulent is the word for them. The Florsheim Imperials are still nice shoes although Florsheim has been bought by several other companies and they have become cheaper and cheaper garbage shoes. If you can find a pair of the old Imperials, they will sell for their original price because they can be redone by a good cobbler and look fantastic. I detest them myself because they are hideous old man shoes but Trump does not know this. The best American shoes are made by Alden. I would say Justin Fitzpatrick is the best but all of his shoes are made in Spain. I have walking shoes that cost more than Florsheim's that Trump bought for $150. The soles are simulated leather and if you are in the rain for too long you're going to need new shoes. Alden also has cut costs as well to include fake heels that are just glued leather on a sheet of paper. Alden however has absolutely the best quality leather there is on the upper of the shoe. They are also insanely more comfortable than just about every other shoe. There are of course artisans who make bespoke shoes that are like getting a suit tailor made to fit but these shoes are upwards of $2000 a pair which Trump of course would never pay for because he's a cheap bastard. Marco is wearing the Florsheim shoes that do not fit by at least two sizes. Scott Bessant is wearing Richard Green which any self-respecting gay billionaire would be wearing and they are about $1500 a pair. I can't remember who the reprobate is on the right of this photo but he is another billionaire goon in the Epstein files. As you can see he has a deep crease in his shoe which indicates that they are some cheap cap toe shoe because cheap leather creases quickly so I am sure these are from the Florsheim spread as well. Marco Rubio has no self respect because he is what Trumpers call a 'soiboi cuck' who is desperate to conceal his Cuban male pattern baldness with Kiwi Shoe Polish. Maybe someone could get him some toilet paper to stuff in them so he doesn't hurt himself? He can't get a shoe that fits but he knows all about war and stuff. I would send him some clown shoes but these will do.
