Trump slammed for taking potshots at Ron DeSantis' 'hidden heels' amid posts on Israel crisis
WASHINGTON, D.C: Former President Donald Trump had a busy Monday on his social media account on Truth Social. In addition to numerous posts about the Hamas-Israel conflict, the President-elect of 2024 also took a swipe at his Conservative Party rival, Ron DeSantis.
On Truth Social, the veteran politician argued that the Florida governor wears high heels, as reported by Mediaite.
To support his assertion, Trump also posted a series of screenshots showing DeSantis's appearance on 'Real Time with Bill Maher.'
In some photos, DeSantis's well-known cowboy boots were emphasized, with one image even showing the outline of DeSantis's feet, implying that his feet are positioned in the boots.
On a day when the world is teetering on disaster, Donald Trump is “Truthing” about his position on the Forbes 400 list and Ron DeSantis’ shoes.

If you’re a Conservative influencer and are still propping this man up because he once said something nice to you or invited you to…
The images originally shared on TikTok, came with the caption, "Tell me he's not wearing hidden heels."
DeSantis has often been trolled for his purported high-heeled cowboy boots, a facet of his attire reportedly chosen by his wife, Casey DeSantis.
One former staffer told Vanity Fair in September 2022 that "She bought him these dumbass cowboy boots because she thought it was part of the image."
'Doesn’t he have more pressing matters to worry about?'
One of the users said, "No surprise, of course- the world’s at war but Trump will always make any matter about him and his fragile, implacable ego. Or resort to infantile attacks at his opponents, especially when they have much more honor & decency and expose his shame. This is beneath anyone’s support."

Someone else commented, "I cannot express this strongly enough. The only candidate currently running for president that takes the position seriously is Ron DeSantis. There is literally only one actual adult running for the most important job on the planet."

"Ahh yes, good ‘ol 6 foot 3 and definitely 215 pound, Trump telling the truth as he is known to do and never projects his insecurities onto his opponents and any who oppose him," quipped another user.

A social media user chimed in, "What would Trump know about hidden hee.... oh wait."
Someone else questioned, "Doesn’t he have more pressing matters to worry about?"
'The attack on Israel would never ever have happened'
During a speech in New Hampshire on Monday, October 9, Trump barely spoke about the Israel issue, as reported by NY1.
Trump insinuated the idea that the Israel war, along with the Ukraine war would not have happened had he been the president of the United States.
In his speech, referring to the war, the Republican candidate was found saying, “That would have never happened. The attack on Israel would never ever have happened."
He also added, "The attack on Ukraine would never have happened. Inflation would never have happened. None of it would have happened.”
In the later part of his speech, Trump revisited the topic of Israel after a few mentions, expressing, "I can't imagine how anybody who's Jewish or anybody who loves Israel, and frankly, the evangelicals love, just love Israel—I can't imagine anybody voting Democrat, let alone for this person," referring to Joe Biden.
