Donald Trump confirmed today that he offers shoes to his ministers, all of the same brand and model, adding that this "amuses him."
In an interview on Fox Radio, the Republican president assured that he does not force members of his administration to wear these shoes, but explained that he gladly gives them as a gift.
"It's a beautiful shoe," the Republican leader said, referring to these leather shoes from the American brand Florsheim.
"This amuses me," he emphasized, adding, "when they tell me they have a problem, I say, 'let me offer you a pair of shoes,' and that seems to work well. Now they're all beautiful and stylish."
Oh. My. Hit. He makes ALL of the men in his cabinet wear these Florsheim Oxfords?

"I don't want members of my government to wear sneakers, so I'm giving them shoes. It's a gift from Donald Trump," the 79-year-old billionaire noted.
The American newspaper Wall Street Journal wrote in a recent article about the American president's passion for these shoes, to the point that ministers, advisers and even visitors now feel obliged to wear them to please him.
According to media reports, Donald Trump has been buying $145 Florsheim dress shoes for allies in his inner circle, and people are reportedly "afraid not to wear them."

Many internet users searched for and posted photos showing ministers wearing these shoes.
The model, which most closely resembles these photos, on the company's website, is a leather shoe made in China, selling for $145 a pair, according to Agence France-Presse.
A photo of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio wearing a shoe that appeared to be too big is being widely shared on social media.
Mirë ua ka bere që i ka detyruar të veshin Oxford shoes. Njihet si kepuce më e arritur për gentleman. Edhe ai drew Enveri më të tilla kepuce i ishte oficeret. E kishin ne norme të veshjes nga shteti. Hall i madh që nuk na i vesh Edua.
