Vice President James David Vance aired how strict President Donald Trump is with the members of his cabinet regarding the way they usually dress at work meetings held in Washington.

During his intervention on the “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” podcast, the Ohio Republican spoke about the unwritten rules about clothing that the people closest to the New York magnate tend to follow, which he defines as something out of fashion.

"The president has the idea that one must respect the place, the institution and the position. And one way to do it is by dressing like a normal person. And I think that is something very old-fashioned," he said.

Vance is clear that his boss's desire is that those who are part of his group at the head of government agencies always project professionalism, which currently contrasts with the style adopted by many current politicians.

"He has always been like this: he always wears a navy blue suit. He almost always wears a plain tie. He always wears black shoes; he scolds some members of the cabinet if they wear brown shoes," he said.

Trump's unusual fixation on the issue of footwear was exhibited in another interview that the president gave to the Fox News television network host, when last March he revealed that he occasionally buys shoes for some members of his cabinet.

“When they tell me they have a problem, I say, ‘Let me get you a pair of shoes,'” he said.

In fact, J.D. Vance added that the strict dress code required by Trump extends beyond his White House aides, as it includes at least his first-born son Donald Jr.

And to exemplify this, he cited how, while in the middle of a September 11 commemoration event during the 2024 campaign, the head of the nation veiledly criticized his son.

"At one point, the president turns around and looks at Don Jr. who was wearing an extended collar. And the president says, 'Wow, Don, that collar is pretty wide.' And you could tell it was a cheeky hint. So I've always worn a navy blue suit, black shoes and a classic collar," he pointed out.
