President Joe Biden chose to surprise the White House press corps and come to the briefing room for the first time just months before the end of his presidency.

4. It's perfect for him.

I never liked the ‘four peaks’ pocket square fold. Just too ‘Mad Men’ for me. I like a poofy look for my pocket square. Or if I’m in black tie, or otherwise need a more conservative look, the Presidential fold.

But President Biden looks superb! He always does. It’s a shame that TFG never moved past his ‘a gorilla slept in this suit’ look. But I suppose the rubes out in Squalor Holler would have objected if he looked a little more put-together.
