President-elect Donald Trump is anticipating a drought of "great dresses" ahead of his upcoming inauguration events in Washington, D.C., next weekend. In an interview with The New York Times published Monday, Trump said the onslaught of celebrities and other important people planning to attend his big event is putting a big demand on fancy attire. "We are going to have an unbelievable, perhaps record-setting turnout for the inauguration, and there will be plenty of movie and entertainment stars," Trump said. "All the dress shops are sold out in Washington. It's hard to find a great dress for this inauguration."
His remark came in response to The Times' questions about Meryl Streep's criticisms of him in her speech at the Golden Globes, another event filled with "great dresses."
