Trump, Haley stick the boot in Ron DeSantis over alleged heels, lifts
NYpost ^ | Oct 2, 2023 | Diana Giebova

Haley — the former South Carolina governor and the only woman in the 2024 race — was asked Wednesday night by “The Daily Show” guest host Charlamagne tha God if she was going to wear heels so she can tower over DeSantis at the third GOP debate next week in Miami.

“I don’t know. We’ll have to figure that out,” Haley replied...I’ve never hid that from anybody. I’ve always said, ‘Don’t wear ’em if you can’t run in ’em,’ so we’ll see if he can run in ’em.”

Trump’s super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., also trolled DeSantis Wednesday by announcing it would send him a pair of Puerto Rican-themed boots as an early Christmas present,

DeSantis has denied any shoe shenanigans, telling businessman and podcast host Patrick Bet-David on Monday night that he favors “standard, off-the-rack Lucchese” black boots at most of his campaign appearances.

However, three makers of fine footwear told Politico they suspected the 45-year-old governor was in fact getting help gaining a few extra inches.

The reason this is a big story is because it shows desantis is an insecure, self conscious individual who lies about obvious things.

And if he lies about small things

what won't he lie to you about?

DeSantis says he’s 5’11” which is above the average height for a White male is 5’10”, so I’m not sure what he would be insecure about unless he’s not telling the truth about his actual height.

Are you joking? You think Trump isn’t a typical insecure self-conscious politician? Why do you think his skin orange? WHy is he angry about is small hands? He is 77 years old, what color do you think his hair really is before he dyes it?

He could have avoided all this by just wearing normal shoes like a normal person in a suit.

He’s from Florida. He’s not a cowboy and he’s not a short person. So what’s with the boots when you’ve never worn them before.

Ronald Reagan wore boots, but he had a ranch in California.

Just wear normal dress shoes.

Donald Trump wears the same blue suit and shoes everywhere. He doesn’t try to pretend he’s anything other than who he is clothes-wise.

It’s pretty sad when as a candidate all you have to run on is fake news about “Boot Gate”.

Sadder yet that Angry Trumpers keep denying they are worried and concerned about DeSantis, yet they post 10-12 anti RDS articles per day.

Uh, you mean like Trump's bald head being covered by a ridiculous hair-sprayed, comb-over hurricane swirl? I'm a HUGE Trump supporter, but this kind of stuff is pretty silly.

He’s saying his current height is 5’ 11”.

If you search, desanctimonious is said to be 5’ 9” in many articles from 2021-2022 and earlier...

This is completely a self-inflicted wound.

Definitely a nice warm tone.

Thanks for asking!

To me, I the the boot kerfuffle is just silly, but the bigger issue is that it expresses a degree of inauthenticity and other personality related items.

It just reeks of being politically animalistic, which I find repellent. What Clinton and Obama were, and what Reagan and Trump were not, IMO.

Trump has already been subjected to the ridicule over the years. He withstood it.

With Trump, there is nothing new to report that hasn’t already been reported and talked about.

DeSantis and his supporters need to quit treating him like a baby who can’t take the heat.

He should have done some thinking before wearing those elevator boots. It is a self inflicted mistake.

The boots aren’t why I would not vote for him. His association with Bushes McCains and RINOs is why I don’t care for him.

If DeSantis wants to wear cowboy boots, he can wear cowboy boots. It is no one else’s business what he does.

Wayne, Trump wasn’t mad about those things, in fact he laughed about it or used it to his advantage.
Trump has been in the public eye for over 40 prior to running for President. He’s a known commodity.

Oh come on, this is it? How many politicians wear hairpieces, (Joni Ernst wears ridiculous fake hair along with many black women, including MObama. In fact, our entire society is full of silicone, Botox, fake hair, fake lips and hips, plus viagra.

So what if DeSantis wears lifts? He has served this country and doesn’t deserve to be ridiculed for his appearance. When trump goes down this road it makes me sick. (Will still vote for him though).

“If DeSantis wants to wear cowboy boots, he can wear cowboy boots. It is no one else’s business what he does.”

You’re correct. But when you’re running for office, it looks weird and you come off as a phony if you weren’t already doing it. It becomes an affectation.

During one of Trumps 2016 rallies...he had an someone from the audience come up and tug on his hair.
Meanwhile Biden’s plugs have grown into his brain.

Trump lists his weight as 215 on court documents but that’s ok? What about the pictures now coming out of Trump in platform shoes? Off limits?

That’s nonsense. That’s a heel on his shoe. And he’s 6’3” without his shoes on. He’s not going for affectation.
