The Internet is Laughing at the Shoes Trump’s Cabinet Members Are “Afraid Not To Wear”

Yes, the man who put a gift shop in the White House is no stranger to handing out forced, ridiculous gifts. Even Trump’s cabinet members are recipients. The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Trump has been gifting them all the same article of clothing — and they’re all wearing it in this picture. See if you can spot it:

That’s right. It’s the shoes!

According to the WSJ, Trump is “obsessed” with a particular style of $145 Florsheim shoes that he likes to wear, and has given pairs to “agency heads, lawmakers, White House advisers and VIPs,” including Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity.

Trump doesn’t check their shoe sizes and sends them gigantic oversized shoes.

It was also noted that the “recipients have taken to wearing their Florsheims around Trump, some apparently begrudgingly,” and that a female White House official told them, “It’s hysterical because everybody’s afraid not to wear them.”

Here’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio talking to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in his Florsheims. Are these way too big because someone pushed down on the toes to see if he had room to grow? ▼

You will not be surprised to learn that images of the shoes, particularly Marco’s giant, ill-fitting ones, are going viral — and people have a lot to say about them. “Senior WH staff walking around in clown shoes and fear is comedy gold. It’s the Veep subplot we never had,” said one person.

Imagine the alternate headline: ‘President HARRIS buys matching pumps for all female staffers to encourage unity and loyalty.’ Fox would be apoplectic for a week.
