Donald Trump Graces a State Dinner Hosted by King Charles III
Donald Trump, the US President, attended a grand state dinner hosted by King Charles III last night, which has left some people puzzled by his choice of footwear.
During his visit to the UK, President Trump and First Lady Melania were honored guests at this splendid banquet organized by King Charles III and Queen Camilla on September 17.
While enjoying the meal, they engaged in delightful conversations with the likes of Kate Middleton and Prince William, to whom Trump paid compliments during his speech.
He praised Prince Williams as an ‘amazing’ son of King Charles, and called Princess Kate, who was seated beside him, ‘beautiful’.
Princess Kate was stunningly attired in a Phillipa Lepley gown, complete with an elegant champagne gold, full-length lace coat adorned with hand-embroidered Chantilly patterns over a silk crepe dress.
Her ensemble was accentuated with earrings that belonged to the late Queen and she elegantly wore her favorite Lover’s Knot Tiara, with her hair arranged in soft waves.
On the other hand, Melania Trump found herself in the spotlight over her fashion choices, wearing a striking yellow off-the-shoulder gown designed by Carolina Herrera, complete with a contrasting belt.
The gown featured a discreet slit, with Melania’s hairstyle in loose waves, and she accessorized with emerald drop earrings.
However, some royal enthusiasts voiced their disapproval, deeming her outfit ‘inappropriate’ for such an august occasion, and some even speculated that it might have broken protocol.
Now, a curious aspect of President Trump’s attire has sparked inquisitive discussions – it’s not something you’d foresee.
Keen observers zoomed in on a group photo of Trump alongside Melania, the King, and Queen at the banquet, noting what seemed to be ‘two different shoes’ on Trump’s feet.
On Twitter, a user inquired: “Is Trump wearing two different shoes?”
Another playfully replied: “Could be. Whose feet look like that while standing? And MC Hammer called – he wants his pants back.”
Further agreement came from another: “I was pondering the feet too. It might be due to his habit of leaning forward or from wearing lifts. Or maybe the shoes didn’t fit well.”
“Perhaps the wrong shoe is on the wrong foot,” guessed someone else, while another theorized: “The thicker shoe might prevent one leg from dragging. Possible leg length discrepancy.”
One more user questioned: “Why aren’t his shoes flat? Similar to Charles’ shoes.”
This isn’t the first occasion where Trump’s lower limbs have attracted attention.
Earlier in the year, during the Club World Cup final, alert onlookers noticed that Trump’s ankles appeared notably swollen as he sat beside Melania.
“Trump’s ankles – EXTREMELY swollen. People are buzzing. Doctors? Silent. Media? Frenzied,” one remarked at the time.
“It might be nothing… or something significant. He claims robust health, yet those ankles seem like they’ve undergone a lot. Not ideal. Not ideal at all.”
“If he donned his shoes early in the morning or shortly after rising, they might have fit well then. But after walking, his ankles swelled,” another elaborated. “I’ll mention it’s not uncommon in senior individuals. He’ll likely have shoe-shaped imprints once he removes them.”
The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later clarified that Trump’s ankle swelling was due to chronic venous insufficiency, a condition affecting blood flow.
