While it’s been clear for quite some time now that convicted felon/2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is one of the most insecure and malignantly vain human beings to ever trod the planet, a new video taken the day he was shot at in Pennsylvania seems to prove what many have suspected: Donnie wears lifts his shoes to make himself appear taller than he is.
The New York Post reports that Trump’s shoes did indeed come off in the mayhem that took place when he was shot.
He also cleared up a mystery about his shoes. On the video of the shooting and aftermath, as the burly agents tried to rush him off the stage for safety, he can be heard saying, “Wait, I want to get my shoes.”
As he explained in the interview, “The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight,” he said with a smile.
Yes, the shoes did indeed fall off, though it’d be more accurate to say they quite literally flew off, careening off the stage and into the nearby grass, as you can see in this video:
Oh, and we also know that there’s something odd going on with Trump’s shoes, as you can see in this photo:
Have you ever seen an insole that caused a person’s foot to be that elevated out of the shoe he’s wearing? If so, feel free to share it with all of us so we can compare.
The video set off a torrent of commentary on Twitter.
