        Lil’ Marco is not the only one, lol:

        https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-fashion-florsheim-shoes-aides-b2935206.html

        “It’s hysterical because everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” one insider told the WSJ. “All the boys have them,” another said.

        Reported recipients include Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Communications Director Steven Cheung, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

        Vance told the WSJ that Trump then produced a Florsheim catalogue and asked everyone their size. When another man said he wore size seven shoes, Vance said, Trump “kind of leans back in his chair and says, ‘You know, you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size.’”

        LOL, no you can’t.

        Anyway, long long ago I worked at a company where the owner-CEO had all this bullshit hero-worship going on around him and he wore these rather singular-looking shoes - they looked like shower shoes, except they weren’t. All of a sudden, a bunch of his little mini-me’s started wearing the exact same thing.

        I just felt embarrassed for them - adult men, doing the same thing as their hero. The whole place was downright bizarre and cult-like.

        This was during the dot-com bubble, so things were very tight, otherwise no way in hell would I have stuck around. But also: I was not going to be some monkey-see-monkey-do dumbass like these other guys. Turns out I got laid off anyway, but due that, I found a much better job.

          Ha funny story and thanks for sharing, but yah its a cult. People are operating with cult like traits and its just baffling. Do they really think they will come out better off once this shit show takes a different direction lol

      Have you seen Trump’s puffy lip fillers? He looks like he’s pouting 24/7.
