Nah, it's not political. It's just hilarious. I think the NY Post had the original story. The tone was pretty lighthearted.
There are pics out there somewhere of JFK, long before his presidency, in the most ludicrous, tho stylish at the time, tie up slipper sandal thingies you ever saw.
And I'm sure the first publicly viewed presidential belly button would have been FDR's, since he was big on swimming, both at the White House and at Hot Springs.
A tempest in a tea pot, and a pretty funny one at that.

The president should've saved his flip flops for the oval office, wearing spit-shined black dress shoes for a day of swimming at the beach like the American people do. Does the man know nothing of appropriate attire? Shorts and flip-flops at the beach - you'd think the president of the United States can't afford a suit. What will the leaders around the world think?

It will only be political if someone makes it so. I think talking about the head of the Free World and his clothing on this site is perfectly fine.
I know he is on the beach but would of preferred to see water shoes at least?

I may or may not not agree with his politics (not sayin'), but I can't believe people are worried about this and it was on the news. I think he deserves a break on this one. It's not like he wore it at the State of the Union address, he was on his off time with the kids.

We have had many threads on what the President was wearing. Hats etc.
Never mind. Just thought it went along also with tons of threads about being too casual dress now.

I have never talked politics here and never will. I respect MK and this place too much.
Just thought it was funny on many levels. We have discussed Presidents wearing hats here and saw no difference. Didn't even think politics really.

Speaking of how fashion has changed and the White House.
I couldn't believe when a television chef went to the White House in shorts and orange rubber slip on shoes.
Regardless of who is president at the time that just seemed wrong.

Sincerely,
The Wolf
