Trump’s shoe gifts keep Cabinet in line

Donald Trump is having great fun gifting $145 Florsheim leather cap toe Oxford dress shoes to Cabinet members, agency heads, advisers and whatever VIPs have earned his favor.

Trump guesses their shoe size and then has an assistant place an order. When the shoes arrive a week later, he signs the shoe box or adds a personal note. It does not matter if they are too big, too small or plainly uncomfortable. The recipient is expected to wear the shoes and perform gratitude.
