Donald Trump delivered a second speech and made a comment about wife Melania's feet which he admitted he was probably 'going to get hell' for.

Yesterday (January 20), Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, delivering his inaugural speech in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, DC.

Shortly after his inauguration, the 78-year-old delivered a second speech during which he not only thanked his wife, Melania, but also gave a very public shout out to her feet, no less.

Delivering remarks in the emancipation hall shortly after giving his inaugural speech, Trump thanked the crowds but took a moment to praise 'a First Lady who has been incredible'.

He said: "I shouldn't say this, I'm going to get hell when I say this, but her feet hurt. Absolutely aching. You know, those heels.

"And we thought we were leaving, we were going home. 'Sir would you be able to go down and say hello to some of your other fans?' And I said, 'Oh, I didn't know that'."

Trump went on to say Melania told him she 'loves [him] so much' but her feet were 'hurting,' the president then checking how far they'd have to walk.

"Maybe 400 or 500 yards - that's five football fields," he continued. "I said, 'Can you make it?' She said, 'We're going to make it no matter what. We're going to make it because we have to'."

Trump explained the pair then went to the helicopter and said bye, with Melania's fashion troubles not ending there either with her hat nearly 'blowing away' too.

And it's not taken long for viewers to flock to social media to weigh in.

One Twitter user said: "TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT MELANIA’S FEET. THIS IS NOT A DRILL."

"When he said 'I'm gonna get hell for saying this, but her feet are absolutely...' with that pause, I genuinely thought he was about to go down that road," another added.

A third commented: "Oh bring her some crocs! I get sore feet too!"

And it's not the only rogue moment you may've missed if you tuned into Trump's inauguration day - there were eight 'uncomfortable' interactions during the event.

A failed kiss, billionaires on the front row and Kamala Harris and Joe Biden too - oh and Hillary Clinton certainly didn't hold back either.
