"All the dress shops are sold out in Washington. It's hard to find a great dress for this inauguration."
-- Donald Trump

"We have 200 dresses, if not more, in stock."
-- Mae Shipe, owner of Mae's Dress Boutique

"There's never been less demand for inaugural ball gowns in my 38 years."
-- Peter Marx, owner of Saks Jandel

I guess he means the state of Washington is sold out? Though that strikes me as a heck of a travel trip just to buy a dress, but I guess a proper guest knows no limits to how far they will shop to buy the proper gown for an inauguration! Maybe it's the Washington Redskins shop that's sold out.

I've been following this in various news sites that I read. Reporters have been gleefully calling premium gown shops and asking them about their inventory, and the universal response was that they have plenty of stock. And the inauguration is a week from tomorrow.

The entertainment is also a source of entertainment. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is going to perform, and a member of said choir has resigned rather than perform for him. The Radio City Music Hall Rockettes are, more or less, being forced to perform, and members have objected. Trump's people invited a singer by the name of Charlotte Church to perform at the inauguration, she replied that if you bothered to Google my Twitter feed, you'd see that I think that you are an utter asshole.
