Marc Elias: Who will be the first to take off their shoes?

More specifically, a pair of $145 Florsheim oxfords. Trump is apparently obsessed with the shoes, and it’s getting weird. According to the Wall Street Journal, the president has taken to handing them out to Cabinet members, advisors and White House VIPs. He even makes it a game: guessing people’s shoe size, placing an order and then signing the box.

He makes them wear pants with shortened hems? 
Is so severely out of his league, not smart enough to go get a pair that fits!
