WASHINGTON, March 14 — US President Donald Trump confirmed yesterday that he had bought several members of his cabinet the same shoes from his favourite brand.
The unusual gifts were first reported this week in The Wall Street Journal, which said Trump had given out pairs of Florsheim shoes worth US$145 (RM571) — at times even guessing people’s shoe size in front of them.
“It’s a nice shoe,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Radio when asked about the story.
“What I do is, is somebody that for many many years has walked around in shoes that were no good, and would not be that comfortable,” said the 79-year-old Republican.
“So I have fun with it. When they tell me they have a problem, I say, ‘Let me get you a pair of shoes.’ It seems to work out pretty well. Now they look all spiffy and nice. It’s a gift from Donald Trump.”
Trump added that he had “never liked cabinet members walking in in sneakers.”
Those wearing the shoes include Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, The Wall Street Journal said.
One photo showed Rubio in what appeared to be the same footwear, which looked too big on the heels.
