President Donald Trump joked about First Lady Melania’s struggle during his inauguration ceremony as she stood next to him in uncomfortably high heels throughout his big day.
“I have a first lady who has been incredible. I shouldn’t say this. I’m going to get hell when I say this, but her feet are absolutely aching,” the President revealed. “You know, those heels.”
The 47th President of the United States recounted how he asked his wife of nearly 20 years to accompany him and “say hello” to some fans after the ceremony, while she felt extremely in discomfort and hurting from the four-inch heels.
“Darling, I love you so much but my feet are killing,” Melania, 54, reportedly told her husband.
She asked about the distance she would have to walk in the pair of Manolo Blahnik BB suede shoes, to which Trump replied, teasingly: “Oh, not that long, maybe four to five hundred yards. That’s five football fields.”
“And I asked, ‘Can you make it?’ She said, ‘We’re going to make it. No matter what, we’re going to make it,” Trump said.
