$140 Florsheim shoes, black. Presented by Trump to high officials, based on his guess as to size. Now worn with obeisance by: JD Vance. Marco Rubio. Pete Hegseth. Sean Duffy. Howard Lutnick. Sean Hannity. Lindsey Graham. Some of these dudes normally wear designer items costing ten times the Florsheims.
Turns out, with dictators, this is kind of a thing. Mao’s Mao jacket, Saddam Hussein’s moustache, Joe Stalin’s hat, jacket and jodhpurs.
