Trump and shoes

[Paul Nuttall]

It seems something that trump has a fixation on is people's shoes, according to reports he looks at people's shoes and if he doesn't like them, assesses their shoe size and gifts them a pair made by the company of his choice.....if photos of rubio are correct, shoes size assessing is something else he thinks he is better at than he is.

I saw a Ed Davey of the UK Liberal Democrat's being interviewed by an American news talk show make the joke "at least British politicians wear shoes that fit!"...

But seriously is Trump's ego so fragile that Rubio couldn't just say "uhm they are a size too big Mr President." Either the man's temper is so foul that even such a minor criticism is forbidden or Rubio is utterly spineless. As well as brainless - why not if he is too scared go and BUY himself a pair in the right size and just wear those?

[Paul Nuttall]

Presumably there are some wearing shoes that are too small as well....

Amusingly it seems trump's chosen shoe company is one that has been hit by import tarrifs........


Anyway News Thump had a good take on it


US President Donald Trump has gifted White House staffers and cabinet members dress shoes with extra room for bone spurs, it has been revealed.

Worth around $145, Trump gifted pairs of the shoes to cabinet members such as JD Vance and Marco Rubio, making sure to leave extra space for bone spurs, to keep up his draft-dodging charade.

“There’s a bit of extra room in the heel area,” said JD Vance, terrified to take off the shoes in case it makes his boss angry.

“They’re really nice shoes. Well, at least that’s what I told him. Marco Rubio told me he’s been sleeping in them just in case Trump finds out he’s taken them off and fires him.

“Not many people know this, but that’s actually why Kristi Noem got sacked. She took off the shoes and was immediately replaced as Secretary of Homeland Security.

“I suppose there are some benefits. The extra room for bone spurs means I can avoid the upcoming draft for the Iran war.

“The shoes also have a little compartment in the sole for my eyeliner. You know, like the kids shoes Clark’s used to sell with a little toy in the compartment.

“(Sigh) Man, I hate this job sometimes.”

I think you all have been scammed by a satire

I think you are pretending it's satire rather than admit that the President of the United States is actually that ridiculous. And his cabinet are so spineless they won't even tell him the shoes are too big. Actually that's not fair, it's just Rubio so far that's proven spineless.

A 30 second google search shows multiple stories about this, all by mainstream media and many of them literally quoting the president admitting he has bought them shoes and almost all of them showing pictures of Rubio in very poorly fitting shoes. Still think we're being taken in or scammed? Or willing to admit that Trump really is acting in such a weird and clownish manner?

Most clowns are very skilled entertainers, especially those who make it all look accidental...
( Happens I do not like clowns, but I *respect* them...)

Trump seems unable to laugh at himself, only sneer at those he considers lesser folk.

I must wonder about his opinion of cats...

Fair point. And in fairness, everyone to Trump is "lesser". Even those who he praises, it's only because they agree slavishly to everything he says. The moment they deviate even slightly? Well ask Marjory Taylor Green or Mike Pence how that goes...

I was referring to the supposed comments of Vance and Rubio

I think the story has been blown way out of proportion

Yeah, News Thump is known to be a satirical site, probably should have made that clear.

Some of the other photos with other white house staff floating around look a bit strange, though they could have been modified.

The News Trump comments by vance and Rubio are OBVIOUSLY satire, I figured you meant the whole story was satire as that part was so blindly obvious. Given that you meant specifically the obvious satire then fair enough. For one thing it's so obviously satire as neither of them would DARE speak out against Trump in real life.

The basic story is however true and frankly you might thing it's blown out of proportion but I think it speaks to something a) weird in how Trump thinks and b) really screwed up that Rubio is walking around in shoes that are too big for him without being able to either politely decline said shoes as to big for him or ask for a pair that actually fits him. It really does speak in my mind to either how fragile Trump's temper is (and lets be honest that many is in command of the most powerful military in the world is so that IS a major issue) or how weak willed Rubio is in that he can't bring himself to mention they don't fit to Trump - which again give the man's role as both the Secretary of State and acting National Security Advisor is another major issue. If he's so in fear of his boss he can't even give him bad news about the fact the man gave him the wrong size of shoes that's a huge problem for America.

[Paul Nuttall]

Given trumps previous 'Poor Little Marco' comment, I think we can tell what he thinks of him.

Probably revenge for his comments on trump previosusly, such as

For years to come, there are many people on the right... that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump."

Mind you, he is not alone in having made less than complmentary comments about trump prior to accepting a post...and shoes...from him.
