Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s Trump-bought footwear has been known about for some time.
On Monday, though, the Journal reported that multiple other figures in Trump’s orbit are now walking around in presidentially purchased Florsheims — which retail for about $145.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, White House deputy chief of staff James Blair and speechwriter Ross Worthington have all been on the receiving end of Trump’s shoe giving, the Journal reported.
Outside of the White House, Fox News’ Sean Hannity and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are also walking the walk in Trump-approved shoes, it added.
“All the boys have them,” a female White House official told the Journal.
“It’s hysterical because everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” another told the Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper.
At one point, “Vance lifted his leg in the air to show the president the pair he was wearing,” said Times reporter Katie Rogers.
Last year, Vance recalled Trump chastising him and Rubio for their “shitty shoes” and then making a crude gag about penis size.
