    Trump is doing this in purpose and you cannot convince me otherwise.

    Why not just buy the exact same pair in the right size and say its the shoes Trump gave you? He’d probably believe it was the same ones.

      This is why you’ll always be stuck in the pack and not out ahead like me. You obviously don’t keep the original pair but you don’t buy a proper-fitting replacement pair either. You buy a series of ever-increasing sizes until you’re clomping around in 22 EEEs loudly saying “WOW ALL OF YOUR TINY SHOES LOOK REALLY FUCKING STUPID.”

      i really don’t understand how they didn’t immediately send aides to buy correctly fitting pairs. maybe these pictures are all from the first day Trump gave them the shoes?

        Nope. See AernaLingus’s comment here. This has been going on for months.peltier-laugh

        I think that not only is the oversize a totally intentional choice by Trump, but that also his sycophants know he’ll be looking to see if they are in fact clomping around in shoes too big, so they have to wear them as proof of their deference to him.

          that’s great.

          imagining Trump’s court as a contemporary Louis XIV’s, and all the players and courtesans and eunuchs buying and wearing increasingly large and ill-fitting shoes in an attempt to curry favor and signal craven devotion.

      On the one hand I think suits are generally just wear for drone people. But on the other I see Fetterman in his hoodie and basketball shorts and I cringe. Land of contrasts.

        With Fetterman, it’s basically like seeing your basketball coach support the murder of children

        If we had someone less awful, it would be a bit like a 90’s comedy movie

        Senator McCool: Bro, I already did (points to a nearby wall which has been graffitied with a slammin’ mural of a man who is half-dinosaur doing a kick-flip over an explosion)

    Direct (rehosted) image links at full size (open in new tab to see details):

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, left, talks with Rubio on January 7 in Washington, DC. Even from a distance, the gap between Rubio's foot and the heel of his right shoe can be seen.

    A close-up of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's feet in Florsheim shoes at the US Capitol on January 7; a significant gap can be seen between his right shoe's collar and his foot.

    Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are seen with their shoes on March 3, both with gaps between the shoes' collars and their respective feet. To their left is Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and to their right (perpendicular to their couch) is Donald Trump.

    The most ridiculous thing about this is the timeframe. It’s not like this was over a few days: those first two photos were taken on January 7th and the third was on March 3! Imagine putting up with this shit for 2 months to suck up to your shitty mercurial boss lmao

      Its like a bdsm type scenario I guess. A demonstration of their enthusiastic ongoing consent that they come in every day like that. Constantly having the discomfort in their feet with blisters and the public aspect of it where each one saw others get added to the sub clubs.

    a-little-trolling My little Marco, folks, he’s growing like a weed! You’ve never seen such a big boy, he’s grown three inches since his last birthday. Many people are saying he’ll be very tall one day! Not taller than than me but very tall! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

    The first instinct would be to think trump just bought them shoes in his own size. But he does have tiny hands which I would suspect correlates with tiny feet, suggesting the much funnier option that this is a power move.
