Overview
- Vance said the president halted a “really important” Oval Office discussion, called Marco Rubio’s and his shoes “s****y,” and pulled out a catalog to gift new pairs.
- He recounted that Trump asked for sizes—Rubio at 11.5, Vance at 13, and an unnamed politician at 7—then quipped that you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size.
- The remarks circulated in a Benny Show clip and were reported across outlets on December 7–8.
- Online reactions ranged from lighthearted wordplay to complaints that talk of shoes trivializes more pressing concerns.
- No official White House response or policy implications have been reported, and coverage noted echoes of Trump–Rubio jibes about stature from 2016.
