The Boys Uses Homelander To Mock Donald Trump's New Sneakers
Homelander of The Boys seems to have taken a page out of Donald Trump's playbook in light of the besieged hero's ongoing legal troubles, handing his loyal fans a truly golden opportunity to support him and his legal team via a rather bold fashion item.
