Parent Company of Florsheim Shoes Suing Trump

Florsheim, the shoe brand President Donald Trump has been widely reported to favor and gift to allies, is owned by a parent company that is suing his administration over tariffs imposed during his second term.

Weyco Group Inc., which owns Florsheim Shoe Company, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade in December challenging the legality of those tariffs and seeking refunds for duties it says were unlawfully collected.

Newsweek reached out to Weyco Group Inc. and the White House via email for comment...

I didn't think they were made anymore. Sum bitches were popular about 45 years ago. God he's such a sleazy cretin.

I used to see them advertised in the mall when I was a kid. I remember thinking they looked old-fashioned and not very attractive. I don't think I've seen an ad or sign from them in a long time.

I guess people like Trump, people in their 80s in South Florida, are keeping them in business. If I owned the company, I don't think I would sue Trump. They might never get the money and he would start bad-mouthing them until they went bankrupt.
