He lies about his hair, too. He thinks people can’t take one look at that hairdo and know that something is going on with his follicular abundance or lack thereof. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > We all know Trump has shitty fashion sense. I mean, who the fuck puts _scotch tape_ on his tie? Well, he once told some Scottish reporters that his mother was Scotch, so of course, that’s what Trump would use. Is he going to use “duck” tape? ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > For all the shit Trump has done, you’re going to be catty about his SHOES??? Why not? It’s not like little things like obstruction, siding with neo-nazis or being a misogynist has touched him. This presidency has been like a death by a thousand cuts but somehow his faults get bounced off like rubber. Desperate people scrabbling and, sadly, succeeding to get theirs before another Democrat or a real Republican shows up, I guess. Trump is neither… just a conman and circus pitch man. He doesn’t even give anyone some doctored brew so they know what they are cheering for and wanting more. ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > For all the shit Trump has done, you’re going to be catty about his SHOES??? I tend to agree that threads like this are rather pointless, but why does it matter? You understand, I assume, that this is not a zero-sum game? Having a silly bitching session about Trump’s shoes does not prevent people from also engaging with the more substantively egregious aspects of his presidency. You can do both. ---

Having a silly bitching session about Trump’s shoes does not prevent people from also engaging with the more substantively egregious aspects of his presidency. You can do both. And if you think a thread about his shoes (or any other subject under the sun) is pointless, then don’t read it. ---
