President Donald Trump has reportedly begun involving himself in the footwear choices of his top White House aides, according to American media reports. The president's intervention has resulted in several high-ranking officials being photographed in shoes that appear too large for them.

Both Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have been captured in photographs wearing polished low shoes that reportedly "slip considerably around the ankles," according to Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet. Major American media outlets including the Wall Street Journal and CNN have reportedly noted in recent weeks that key White House staff members are walking around in shoes that are obviously too large.
