Last year, Trump’s FBI Director was selling magic pills which would supposedly cleanse your body of the Covid vaccine to “reverse the vaxx” if you ever had one. A complete scam.

Trump’s FBI Director signing copies of his Trump-themed children’s book in 2022 with the QAnon slogan “Where We Go 1, We Go All.’

And the infamous leather-and-boots photo...which isn't a real photo, but which is a photoshopped image with Patel's head over a model's head. I doubt Lucchese would ever have had anyone like Patel selling their boots anyway.

But as far as I can tell from posts I've seen, Patel did post the photoshopped image himself, a couple of years ago.

Everything is warrior this, and patriot that, and fighting, etc.

It’s fetishized beyond religious.

Leather and shredded clever warrior bros, who get all the hot ladies.
All the other guys are average wimpy working guys who shoulda stayed at home or 1950's comic villain LGBTQ stereotypes.

Too much money, too little brains.

They look like Mexican boots. I'm not saying they're not Luccheses, but they don't look like typical Luccheses. I don't feel like using a work computer to do a search.

And good morning.

questioning that Patel himself posted that stupid photoshopped image, which got a lot of attention already back in 2022.

There's a Mexican western wear store in Langley Park, Maryland. It's fantastic inside. Their selection of boots skews to the Mexican style. Many of their boots are hecho en Mexico. Nice workmanship, but I've never had the occasion to buy a pair.

when you have a soon to be POTUS who knows nothing about politics and doesn't want to know, pick his team.

They will be picked on their trustworthiness to agree with Trump, not on any proven skills in the jobs they have been picked for.

When it comes time to make some serious decisions, they will all be looking around their offices looking for that 'How to do this job' manual.
More likely they will just follow whatever Trump wants.
And he of course, won't know either, because he just isn't that interested. Or capable.

That body hugging Lucchese 1883 Boots ad leather outfit is really high quality. We can almost tell Mr. Patel’s religion.
