Former President Donald Trump sparked laughter from the crowd at his inauguration when he jokingly commented on his wife Melania’s discomfort in her high heels. The 78-year-old praised Melania’s support during the event despite her feet hurting, calling her “incredible.” Melania, 54, wore a pair of $825 navy blue Manolo Blahnik BB suede shoes and a navy blue coat by designer Adam Lippes. Trump’s lighthearted remark about Melania’s shoes came right after he was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.
In a more serious tone, Trump pledged to reverse the policies of his predecessor, Joe Biden, swiftly after taking office. Executive orders have been prepared to address border security, fossil fuel development, and diversity programs. The celebratory atmosphere of the event mirrored Trump’s campaign rallies, with military bands adding official flair. Trump emphasized the need to restore trust in the government and promised to reclaim sovereignty, ensure safety, and rebalance justice.
