JD Vance made a racy joke about his shoe size while standing beside his wife, Usha Vance, as he revealed the president has gifted him four pairs of shoes.
The vice president and second lady hosted people at their residence on Friday for a Christmas party honoring Sylvester Stallone. Speaking at the event, Vance revealed that earlier in the day, he’d been having a “really important” conversation with Donald Trump in the Oval Office when the president suddenly became distracted.
“Today I’m in the Oval Office with the President of the United States and our great Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and we’re talking about something really, really important and the president kind of holds up his hand and say’s ‘No, no hold on a second, there’s something much more important. Shoes,'” Vance told the crowd.

“He peers over the resolute desk and he says, Marco, JD, you guys have s—– shoes. We gotta get you better shoes,'” Vance continued. Usha could be seen grinning widely as the crowd laughed.
Vance went on to recall that the president left the room to get a shoe catalog. “There happens to be another politician in the room, I won’t say who, you’ll find out why in a second. And he actually runs us through this incredible shoe catalog. And by the way, the president is gifting us with four pairs of shoes, and I think four pairs for Marco,” Vance said.

The vice president revealed that Trump began asking each of the men their shoe size so he could ensure they got the right shoes.
“So he says, ‘Marco, what’s your shoe size?’ And Marco is apparently an 11 and a half. He says ‘JD, what’s your shoe size?’ My shoe size is 13. Then he asks this politician, who I won’t embarrass, what his shoe size is, and he says ‘Seven,” Vance said.
“The President leans back in his chair and says, ‘You know you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size,'” he added as the crowd erupted in laughter. “We won’t ask the second lady for comment on that particular topic,” Vance joked as the grin remained plastered on Usha’s face.

Vance’s anecdote didn’t go down well on X, where a clip of his speech has been viewed more than 700,000 times.
“So, instead of talking about that something important, our president wants to shoe shop and make penis size jokes?! Why am I not even surprised anymore?” one X user wrote. “Oh man, this is peak Trump wasting time in the Oval obsessing over shoe sizes like a creepy old man while dodging REAL work,” a second commented.
“You can also tell a lot about people that repeat inappropriate cliches, in front of their wives, like they’re saying something novel,” a third said. Another noted: “Usha’s smile is so forced. It’s like she’s dying inside trying to will him to just stfu.”
