also, while we're on shoe fetishes, what's up with all those squeaky clean brilliant white sneakers the doge goons were wearing

Sadly they don’t seem to have compasses in the heels. Moral or otherwise.

just another day of them normalizing absolute insanity

The New York Times will do ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING to gaslight us into believing complete nonsense that we all know to be false. When Trump forces his staff to wear clown shoes we're told it's a completely normal TREND. BS.

You folks just sit around inventing new ways to suck, huh?

Really fucking weird to be normalizing this.

beyond parody

Because Trump is a fucking moron and so are all the sycophants who surround him

Literally no man is doing this but these sycophants.

I can’t wait until Trump makes his whole Cabinet shit their pants and you have to scramble to find a viable “walking around with shit in your pants” trend to report on.

Lick those oversized shoes.

Pathetic sanewashing, yet again. Fucking laughable really.

They wanted to up size one another. I wear a ten, well, I wear an 11.

Nobody hopes their shoes will accidentally slip off.

Next up, ‘Why are so many men painting their faces orange?’

They could have liked those rather than golden sneakers🥴

It's a dick thing

Genuinely deranged to get the fashion reporter to sanewash Trump's humiliation rituals.

I challenge the NYT to find photos of one non-MAGA man wearing shoes two sizes too large.

Damn, all this I've just been buying a pair in every size to be safe.

We’re just innocent men with shoes that fit comfortably

That’s crazy talk!

Lol. That is not ”a half size or so”.

What in the absolute fuck is wrong with the people you hire?

They don’t. Unless they have a psycho boss who buys them shoes they have to wear. Fire your editors.

Man, this is so pathetic.

Holy shit, you felt left out with the humiliation ritual of being forced to wear clown shoes so you wrote this article. Oh my god, fucking clowns.

They didn't buy those shoes; their lord and master provided them to his lackeys so they could demonstrate their mindless fealty to him.

Don’t you mean that Trump is giving his old shoes away?

June 2026: "Emperor Trump's new streamlined, ultra-minimalist sartorial style has a lot of tongues wagging among his critics on the left. But maybe it's time we all took a long, hard look at whether clothing really is the necessity that we've been to believe it is."

Half size? Those look at least one to two sizes too big.

For an article that alleges to be about men your examples all seem to be jellyfish.

lol. nope. and the shoes in that photo aren't a "half size too big," they're like 2+ sizes too big.

Relegated? Do you mean isolated?

Stop. Fellating. Donald. Trump. bsky.app/profile/matt...

why dont i subscribe even

A half size my ass. Shoe guy here and that’s about two full sizes too large.

Why do you have to be this way?

Do you even read the news?

@bluegal.bsky.social @driftglass.bsky.social

Absolutely anything to normalize these goblins, I guess!

You are such a piece of shit. Fuck you, you complicit fucks. You know goddamn good and well why they're wearing these shoes. FUCK. YOU.

Same. Only I did it in October 2016.

NYT normalizing fascism

only weirdos

"we're not deeply pathetic sycophants. please put in the newspaper that we're not deeply pathetic sycophants"

This is the media today, trying to sane wash what is incredibly a crazy man and his cult.

This is deeply weird, and seems like something coming out of a cult. What the hell is wrong with you? Do they pump drugs into your newsroom through the HVAC vents or something?

You really need to talk to more people. I hear there’s a really diverse city on the east coast with millions of people living there. Maybe try there?

Why indeed!

I'm usually fixated on how gigantic Trump's suit coats are. They look 3 sizes too big. And that tie that extends down to hide his micropenis.

What TF is wrong with you, that you need to provide cover for these fearful sycophants? What would you even say you do here???

🏆

From the picture they look like slightly less obvious platform shoes. The front area at the laces is too steep. The back has extra room so they look "normal" but allow the heel to sit when the foot is angled further upward than normal

Nice try, bootlicking douchebags, but tRump just isn't that into you...

Do any actual journalists work for your rag anymore?

so the story widely circulates that trump is buying these stupid shoes for the guys in his inner circle, presumably to try and normalise wearing lifts. And now the NYT is trying to claim that it's just a "guy thing" to shift the narrative away from this bizarre cult like nonsense. pathetic.

Big shoes mean big dick. 🤷

Nope

Seriously? I mean, I suppose if you want to demean yourselves and undermine your credibility with crappy pieces like this, it's your choice.

NYT says ‘men’ but then lists three people who are not even human. They can’t even do basic fact checking anymore!

Bigger feet means a bigger penis. So its really a bunch of small "men" trying to look bigger.

Came here to say the exact same thing.

OK. Go to hell. You’re no longer practicing legitimate journalism in any accurate sense of the world. Where’s your ethics?

and here I thought you guys were just "boot-lickers"...I see you've moved up to grossly oversized Florsheim's. Also, you should cancel your NY Times subscription.

This is who the "NY Times" gives the fashion beat to? Tell Jacob Gallagher he can relax; there is no correlation between penis size and shoe size and he can buy clothes that fit since muscle size is also not correlated with penis size.

Those guys are babies, not men.

Oh come on Assuming your readers are this stupid is not a good way to sell subscriptions

#FTFNYT Fuck the fucking New York Times.

Holy shit, y’all.

That is more than half a size too big.

Stop trying to normalize the crazy things that man does.

Same age. I also know that on the off chance a guy wants to buy another guy shoes he would find out his shoe size and not guess. And if the aforementioned shoes didn’t fit they wouldn’t walk around in them in a professional setting with cameras regularly everywhere.

OMG, I'm 50 and I've never worn ill-fitting shoes OR an ill-fitting suit. With shoes, I don't want blisters. With suits, I don't want to look like I'm in the Talking Heads. With these fuckers, they're just god damned clowns.

Yikes! You guys have truly lost your fucking minds. Men buy shoes they think fit and are comfy. Like maybe 1% are awkwardly embarrassed at having small feet or something, but to allege this is anything other than Republican weirdos is very strange.

I'm sorry... You've taken an absurdity - Trump guessing shoe sizes of his officials and buying them shoes which they then feel obligated to wear - and normalized it by asking why "men" buy shoes that are too large? It's not "men." It's Trump sycophants too afraid to say anything to the Emperor.

Why would you go out of your way to even write this stupid article? Not only is it nonsense but it’s a clear attempt to cover for the administrations ridiculousness. It’s pathetic. You could have just said nothing you know?

This was initially reported as Trump ordering the shoes for them & guessing their shoe sizes? So which is the true version?

Lickspittle for power, the NYT!

They eventually did.

They are weird

Kiss ass pathetic sycophants !

Are you the dumbest mother fuckers alive?

1. Stop trying to make it normal. It is entirely about "the boss" and you know it. 2. "Half-size?"

Is this a bit

This is ridiculous.

Um, they don't? Only boys who let their bosses buy their shoes as a loyalty/submission test do.

“It’s still based on that whole your-shoe-size-is-your-package-size thing.”

Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Are you seriously trying to pass this off as a trend???

Is this going to be like that tampon-on-the-face thing? True MAGAs all wearing shoes two sizes too big because a properly fitting shoe has become Woke?

Literally no one -- not even the people in this article -- bought shoes that are too big for them. It's a bunch of people too afraid to not wear the ill-fitting shoes given to them by a petty dictator.

Narrator: It was limited to the Trump administration.

He’s currently the most dangerous.

Money

Why? Because they are spineless pussies who cannot say "No" to the rotten man-child.

That's not half a size off. That's like 3 or 4 sizes off.

This is pathetic, even by the sinking standards of the NYT

My go to for now is The Guardian.

We don't. We buy the size that fits us. This isn't a thing, stop normalizing trump idiocy.

AI bullshit slop. Stop it.

Since trump is a sinister nasty person - I am sure there is a trumpian hidden message in giving them big shoes. Perhaps, saying they could never be man enough to fill his shoes . . .

This is a very odd take uttered by no one that is serious ever.

This is, absolutely, not a thing. Your article conflates discrepancies with dress shoe sizing vs. athletic shoe sizing as being the mad king's underling's wearing large shoes to please their master.

okay, i have known a LOT of men in my old lady life, and i cannot name ONE of them who deliberately walked around with clown shoes on. WTF.

This paper isn't even informative enough to steal anymore.

I often buy shoes a half size too big. (One foot's a little bigger than the other. Some swelling in feet after standing for 8 hrs straight. Etc.) THAT is NOT a "half size too big."

Are you fucking kidding??? 👀👀👀

it's because they're sycophantic dumbass freaks. did you put this in the article. i'm not checking because this story is insulting to your subscribers
