I’m reliably informed that the United States has a “sneaker culture”, the devotees of which are called “sneakerheads”. According NBC News, for example, Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla, reportedly has something in the neighborhood of 150 pairs of collectible sneakers. I have as active an imagination as the next knuckle-dragger, but I’m unable to fathom what a collectable sneaker is, but I also can’t work out why people fly around the world to listen to warbler Taylor Swift and find her oafish boyfriend attractive either. Amid this ruction comes word that Donald John Trump has thrown his trainer into the sneaker wars. Here’s what he’s done.
