Here's the problem with that: Melania Trump, Michelle Obama, Nancy Reagan, Eleanor Roosevelt, Dolly Madison ... not one of them is or was a trained and professional rescue worker. Who cares what they do? They are mostly there for a photo op, telling the world that America's got this. Nothing more.

Footwear neither adds to nor takes away from that.

Criminy, I can't believe this is even a top of discussion. Maybe Mrs. Trump can fire her handler for not heading this off at the door. But it wasn't. Still a nothingburger.
