Overview
- At a Christmas gathering at his Washington residence, JD Vance said President Trump paused a serious Oval Office discussion to critique footwear and offer four pairs of shoes to attendees.
- Vance recounted that Trump took shoe sizes — Marco Rubio at 11.5, Vance at 13, and an unnamed politician at 7 — before joking that a man’s shoe size reveals something about him.
- Vance declined to identify the third politician and joked that he would not ask Second Lady Usha Vance to comment.
- The remarks, delivered at an event honoring Sylvester Stallone, spread widely after podcaster Benny Johnson posted video of Vance’s story.
- News outlets highlighted the clip’s viral reception and noted Trump’s past anatomy-related wisecracks, with no confirmation of the unnamed figure or formal response from officials.
