Trump Keeps Gifting 1 Thing To Top Officials Who Are ‘Afraid Not To Wear Them’: Report

President Donald Trump fixes his hair after trying on a cowboy hat, a gift from members of the 1980 U.S. Men's Olympic Hockey team, during a bill signing ceremony Friday, Dec. 12, 2025, in the Oval Office of the White House, in Washington.Donald Trump has reportedly been handing out new shoes to several of his top officials and allies, according to The Wall Street Journal.Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’sTrump-bought footwear has been known about for some time.On Monday, though, the Journal reported that multiple other figures in Trump’s orbit are now walking around in presidentially purchased Florsheims — which retail for about $145.Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, White House deputy chief of staff James Blair and speechwriter Ross Worthington have all been on the receiving end of Trump’s shoe giving, the Journal reported.Outside of the White House, Fox News’ Sean Hannity and Sen. Lindsey Graham (Republican, South Carolina) are also walking the walk in Trump-approved shoes, it added.“All the boys have them,” a female White House official told the Journal.“It’s hysterical because everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” another told the Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper.Trump’s shoe shopping spree for Vance and Rubio drew mockery in January when, as Trump was being interviewed by The New York Times, the duo “showed off their shoes” that they admitted were “purchased by the president.”At one point, “Vance lifted his leg in the air to show the president the pair he was wearing,” said Times reporter Katie Rogers.Last year, Vance recalled Trump chastising him and Rubio for their “shitty shoes” and then making a crude gag about penis size.Related...BBC Expert Says Donald Trump Is 'Making It Up As He Goes Along' As Iran War Rumbles OnVolodymyr Zelenskyy Plays His Cards Right With A Sly Dig At Donald TrumpTrump Says The Middle East Is ‘Very Lucky’ That He’s President, And Not ‘Somebody Else’
