The **** artist strikes again.
In a Monday interview with the New York Times Trump played hype man for his own inauguration, boasting that the turnout would be record-setting.
“There will be plenty of movie and entertainment stars,” Trump told the Times.
“All the dress shops are sold out in Washington.
It’s hard to find a great dress for this inauguration.”
But the "dress shops" in Washington, D.C., are not sold out.
As a matter of fact, according to Elle, Jezebel and the Times itself, stores are getting even less business than usual.
The closest Bloomingdale's to the city told Elle.com, "It's not what was expected, but [we have] a few [people shopping for the inauguration].
We were expecting heavy traffic and it has not been that way.
The last inauguration was a lot more people shopping."
