Hate Trump. But if this was an ordinary guy, it would be kind of cute. He buys shoes he likes for his cabinet.

Yes if it was your elderly dad doing that for friends it would be very sweet, albeit odd. I guess it is one of the few signs we’ve ever had that Trump has a considerate or generous bone in his body, so there’s that.

My FIL, from Brooklyn not Queens and about 15 years older than Trump, literally gave my DH a pair of Florsheims almost every year for Christmas, into his 30s. He lived through the Depression and it affected him forever; new shoes during that period were the ultimate sign of doing OK despite everything. So even though I’m programmed to think of this as just nice old outer borough man stuff, I still think Trump doing it is deeply weird.

Did your FIL get your DH a pair of shoes that correctly fit his feet?

This becomes more frightening by the hour. Trump has lost his mind and neither the Cabinet nor Congress is doing a thing. What could Trump possibly do to them?

I've been waiting for someone to post about this. I'm obsessed with this story. I cannot understand why these men are so willing to utterly debase themselves in the service of Donald Trump. It's just humiliating.

For sure. The photo of Rubio wearing these shoes, which are obviously a couple sizes too big is both hilarious and incredibly disheartening.

Rubio is not a stupid man, so how much does it crush him to have sold his soul to Trump and kowtow to him?

Rubio is a ruthless, power hungry man who wants to be the next president. He will do whatever it takes for power even if it means wearing ill-fitting shoes.

Nah. He’s a weak sycophant. If he were actually ruthless, he’d be persuading the rest of the Cabinet to 25 Trump. It’s clear Trump is not compos mentis and Rubio could get a majority of the Cabinet to agree. Hegseth would probably be the only holdout. Congress would agree also. Trump has become a huge liability.

He's only a liability when the base stops supporting him. That hasn't happened yet.

I don't understand the shoe thing. Rubio isn't poor. Just buy the same shoe in a different size. I doubt Trump is checking the sizes daily and it appears that they are just random $200 Florsheim shoes... buy 5 pairs if it makes Trumpy feel better. But then again, I am functioning with more brain power than the whole cabinet combined even in my perimenopause fog.

Not to go off track but Marco Rubio actually is pretty poor. He may need those free shoes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kylemullins/2024/11/13/heres-how-little-trumps-pick-for-secretary-of-state-marco-rubio-is-worth/

The Trump era GOP base supported him throughout his 1st term and yet Trump's low approval ratings caused him to be a liability to his party.

The Dem base continued to support Biden throughout his term and yet his low approval numbers caused him to be a liability to his party.

When presidents are unpopular to the extent they become a liability to their party, it's because they've lost a large percentage of the swing vote who either won't vote or will cast a vote for change. The GOP and Dem bases continue to be reliable in their partisan support. It's the true swing voter 10% of the electorate who determine elections and when the POTUS approval rating is consistently around 40% or below, the POTUS has lost that swing vote and they're party suffers.

Exactly the sort of person we do NOT need to run for President. A man who walks around in shoes that obviously don’t fit him thinking it’s going to score him points. Being that pathetic should be automatic disqualification and I hope if he tries to run the Dem candidate uses that fact and the photos of Rubio looking ridiculous in clown shoes in the campaigns ads.

While this is true, a lot of Republicans are in relatively safe seats (the average margin of victory for the House, both R and D in 2024 is something like 28 percent). For them, the bigger challenge is to make sure that they are not primaried because the winner of the primary will get elected. With the base still not parting ways with Trump, if they don't kiss his behind, they're toast in the primaries.

And only for the men. The women in the cabinet and White House are excluded from his boys club of new shoes.

he doesn't pay for mar-a-lago face. of course, maybe he offered and they refused because what he would want in return from them is different from what he wants from the men. or maybe it isn't

I would love for this to happen and be rid of Trump. Would Trumpism continue or would we finally return to normal political shenanigans?
