The New York Post on Monday began a news cycle about President Joe Biden’s choice of footwear, one worth at least a few hours’ worth of televised segments and online articles at sister publication Fox News and a number of downstream right wing news outlets. The coverage will feature a great deal of speculation about the nature of the shoes/sneakers and, if they’re a brand commonly associated with senior citizens, will be heralded as another sign of his physical decline. Much of this news cycle’s ultimate longevity and the “concerns” hinges on that point.
