"The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that Trump has been giving out shoes to staffers, agency leaders, lawmakers, and other Oval Office visitors. Specifically, the president has taken a liking to Florsheim shoes, an inexpensive, American-made brand that he gifts to staffers so frequently, he's taken to guessing people's shoe size."
"Jessica Tarlov highlighting a quote from The WSJ report that claimed that everybody's afraid not to wear the shoes because they were gifts from the president. Jesse, the best part is that they wear them even when they don't fit, said Tarlov. Like Marco Rubio has a four-inch gap in his shoes."
"Watters told Tarlov that he, too, had been gifted an article of clothing by the president that he felt slight pressure to wear. This is what the president does, said Watters. I used to wear these really English spread collars on the air, and it used to really upset the president, and he'd see me and go, Jesse, your collar is so spread it looks like it's going backwards behind your head, so he bought me a bunch of shirts with a normal collar."
President Trump has developed a habit of gifting Florsheim shoes, an inexpensive American-made brand, to staffers, agency leaders, lawmakers, and Oval Office visitors. He frequently guesses people's shoe sizes when distributing the shoes. Recipients feel pressured to wear the gifts despite poor fit, with some experiencing significant sizing issues. Fox News host Jesse Watters discussed the trend on The Five, noting that Trump has also gifted clothing to staff members. Watters shared his own experience receiving shirts with normal collars from Trump, who disapproved of Watters' English spread collars on air. Despite the gifts being oversized, Watters felt obligated to wear them and eventually adopted the style Trump preferred.
