Melanie and Ivanka would probably buy out the store. Trouble is all of her hubby's supporters can't even afford to shop at Payless. It's Walmart and Goodwill for them. But some day they'll be able to afford those Palessi shoes, as soon as Trump comes through with those poor and middle class tax cuts he's been promising them. It won't be long now. I'm sure it's the only thing on Trump's mind right now.

... because it was the cheapest stuff in the store. They almost went out of business at one point, but then new management came in with a "brilliant" idea: just raise the price to a little more than the premium beers like Budweiser. Almost needless to say, it not only saved the company but created a cult-like following.
