First Lady of Florida Jill “Casey” DeSantis made her husband Ron wear the cowboy boots he is often mocked over, as well as demanding she be styled like Melania Trump, according to a lengthy new feature piece on the White House hopefuls.
Casey, real name Jill, has dictated her husband’s political and staff decisions for years – in addition to his wardrobe – Ruby Cramer writes, detailing her rise through local media and into the Governor’s mansion.
She knew the cowboy boots he should wear, even though, at first, he complained that they hurt his feet, until a staffer suggested he buy dress shoes instead, at which point he said, “Casey got them for me,” and that was the end of the conversation about the cowboy boots.
And while her husband attempts to politically model himself on Donald Trump, “Casey” looks to the former President’s model wife Melania for inspiration:
As she was preparing for her new role, she asked an aide what Melania Trump would do or wear, what stores and designers she liked, looking to the president’s wife as a model.
