They ran thinkpieces about Biden's gait and his sneakers.

Joe Biden's ankles vs Donald Trump's ankles.

Donald Trump’s ankles are so swollen he looks like he’s wearing invisible ankle weights. The man can barely move.

But where’s Jake Tapper? Where’s Alex Thompson?

They ran thinkpieces about Biden’s gait and his sneakers. Now Trump’s dragging his leg, covered in IV bruises, and waddling around with ankles that look ready to burst—and not a single word from the media.

The double standard is pathetic.


After images of Biden's new sneakers surfaced on the internet, the Republican National Committee (RNC) poked fun at his choice of footwear on social media.

"Biden's handlers are forcing him to wear a new pair of 'lifestyle sneakers' because he trips so much," it wrote.

The post has elicited various responses across social media, with one user dubbing the shoes as "Air Bidens."

Gosh who would have thought of that.

I wonder if someone is mass producing them.
