"Controversy Surrounds Trump's Sneaker Con Appearance and Branded Shoes"

Former President Donald Trump appeared at a sneaker convention in Philadelphia to promote his new Trump-inspired shoes, where rumors circulated about the crowd booing him and chanting "Let's Go Biden." Fact-checking revealed that while there were some brief sounds of apparent booing, it was unclear if they were directed at Trump or other attendees. Videos showed the crowd chanting "We Want Trump" before his arrival and "USA!" after his speech, with no evidence of a "Let's Go Biden" chant. Some attendees were supportive, and Trump spoke for just over five minutes, contrary to claims of being booed offstage after a 60-second speech.
