- The images went viral, and social media users mocked Rubio after The Wall Street Journal report, while White House staffers said it's "hysterical because everybody's afraid not to wear them."
- The Wall Street Journal reported Trump has handed out Florsheim pairs to many aides, including Rubio, Vance, Hegseth, Duffy, and Carlson, with some receiving multiple pairs.
