2. I've worked with people who had no taste, but could read a price tag.

You'd just have to show Drumpf an exorbitant cost and assure him somebody else would pay for it, and he'd think it was the highest of high class.

I'm reminded of the daughter of an old boss, who shopped only at Dayton's Oval Room (you have to be from Minneapolis for this, but trust me) and made sure to let everybody know it. When 'Western' was in, she had the most expensive outfit that looked exactly like Buffalo Bob from Howdy Doody in a skirt and wore it weekly. I had considerable trouble talking to her with a straight face. But it was By God pricey, so it must have been good.

Both the Malignant Moron and his wife are this type - they know the cost of everything, the value of nothing, and apparently don't own a mirror. I wonder how much of their stuff actually comes from discount shops, with the labels switched. It would be easy to do.
