Someone just gifted me some Trump Scotland slippers

What should I do with them? This person knows I am a Democrat and a fervent Hillary supporter, and I guess they thought this was funny.

I need some creativity, DU. But if It's anything having to do with my cat's litterbox, I've already got that idea covered.

Take the picture, send it to your computer and upload it to the site. Then paste the link the site gives you for that photo into your post. There's a little busy work getting the photo hosting site set up but once it's done, posting photos is quick and easy.

(I'm at work right now).

In the meantime, they are normal, ordinary terry cloth slippers with "Trump Scotland" monogrammed on the top in (what else!) gold script lettering.

Pretty cheesy, actually.

Look for a tag/label/imprint of where the slippers were manufactured. I'm betting it ain't Scotland.

There's no tag on them. They are in a sealed plastic (cheap looking) bag and they don't appear to be made very well.

they are fantastic, they are terrific, they are unbelievable, they are incredible, they are amazing, they are tremendous.

I read on the internet that Ivanka looks great in them.

These slippers are going to make Scotland great again.
