There’s a photo somewhere of the shoes (taken as Trump is sitting)—three-inch platforms, or at least that’s what they look like. (My search terms aren’t working, but if I see it again I’ll come back and post it.) And the waistcoat is clearly elasticized. You know: a girdle. ---

That Donald Trump is an asshole is common knowledge. However, there was also, in some quarters, a perception that maybe he was a good family man behind closed doors. Hillary Clinton, at the end of one of her debates with Trump, was asked to mention something she respected about her orange opponent and said: “I respect his children. His children are incredibly able and devoted, and I think that says a lot about Donald.” Michael Wolff, who has a new book out, [spoke on MSNBC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnhOeqva9N8&feature=youtu.be&t=101) and painted Donald Trump out as being a monster to his family too. ---

His children are all “incredibly devoted” because they are slavering after that inheritance. I don’t believe that any of them are competent enough to earn their own livings. ---
