Stephen Colbert reveals Trump

“You know, there’s a word for a leader who selects clothing for his disciples,” Colbert noted. “It’s ‘cult’.”

The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Trump has been guessing people’s shoe sizes and then sending them shoes, and those who receive them feel obligated to wear them regardless of whether they fit or not.

A source quoted by the Journal said: “It’s hysterical because everyone is afraid not to use them.”

“Hysterical,” Colbert repeated. “Like that classic joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there? It’s the man who checks the shoes. I see you’re not wearing them. Get in the truck.”

The new footwear in the wrong size has led to some awkward photos around the White House, and Colbert highlighted one in particular showing Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in shoes that look too big:

“Take a look at JD Vance and Marco Rubio’s tiny ankles drowning in their giant clown shoes,” Colbert said.

Colbert said Rubio looks like a child trying on his father’s shoes “to pretend to be the secretary of the big guys.”

He also called out members of Team Trump by name for wearing the shoes.

“People seen wearing Trump’s mandatory men’s shoes include JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Sean Hannity and Senator Lindsey Graham,” Colbert said, “or, as they are collectively known, Trump’s little wet shoes.”
