During a White House meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, President Trump paused mid‑speech about inflation to point down and rib Vice President JD Vance over his shamrock‑patterned socks. He laughed, “I have to just, speak of inflation; I love these socks. What’s with these socks?” and admitted, “I’m trying to stay focused, but I’m very impressed with the VP’s socks.”
