So you could either buy his cologne to smell like Trump, or just not wipe well.

“However, he also misstated the upcoming Republican primary date and gave the wrong year for when he won Michigan – gaffes that critics like primary rival Nikki Haley have seized on to argue that he is “diminished.””

Dementia Don.

There’s so far no answer readily available.

“Donald Trump has not stated where the sneakers are made specifically, although is a known advocate for returning manufacturing to the United States.”

So I uh… Think we can be pretty sure it’s NOT the USA. On account of if it were he would have said that

I wore my silver high tops to dinner w/friends. My BFF’s BF noticed them and asked rather snottily, “What the hell are those?! Air Warhols?!” Without missing a beat, I replied, “Yes, they are.”


The soles are a much lighter gray IRL.
They were made by Royal Elastics, and officially licensed by the Warhol Foundation.

I showed him the famed rubber-stamp ‘signature’ on the velcro strap…

…the One Carat Happiness (1961) print on the side, with another ‘signature’…


…and the dance chart business on the soles.


He was bummed: he was obviously trying to hurt my feelings, making fun of my shoes, but I handled it all perfectly deadpan and instead wound up impressing him.
Best of all, they were expen$ive AF, but my BF got this worn-only-once pair for me from ebay for $25! tophat-wow tophat-blush Sometimes that kind of luck is almost embarrassing, if that makes any sense. tophat-shuffle tophat-biggrin tophat-cool tophat-wow beer

I just assume it’s a money laundering deal, that no more than a dozen were actually made. Just bots funnelling Russian oligarch money to their asset.

Does this fucken turd really want his supporters discover what a godawful sack of crap he is by walking a mile in his shoes?
Hopefully they come with decent bone spur relief, at least.

No way would a Trump supporter be able to lace those up on their own.

We have a lot of pop up trump merchandise shops in parking lots around here.

I swear, if people wouldn’t think I was a trump supporter I’d start a little grifting on my own and donate the money to a charitable cause.

Or pay some bills, according to his supporters that’s a charitable cause.

But I don’t think I could stomach listening to all the true supporters.

Oh well, another boat I missed.

MAGA members don’t care about the flag code. They violate several parts of the code enthusiastically by disfiguring the flag, writing on it, and using it as clothing.

$400k isn’t nothing. It at least pays his hamburger and french fry bill for a few months.

Shitsky, I could use $400k.

Did they specifically say “limited edition of 1000” or did they claim “limited edition” and separately “1000 for sale”, because those are two different things. If they aren’t numbered 1/1000, 2/1000 etc. then you can say “limited edition” and it’s only limited to however many you can sell.

I would not put it past him (in fact I’d expect him) to have made far more than 1000, and once the initial 1000 sell out you offer more as part of some bundle with a “limited edition hat” or autographed, or some other bonus BS.

I also wouldn’t put it past him to have a bunch in reserve to sell at some auction site under an anonymous account to undercut the resellers but still at a markup from the $400 og price.

Anyway, I wonder if you can pay for them with the bogus “Trump Dollars” he also hawked. “I’ll take the change in $100s please.”

[CORRECTION: apparently they ARE kidding, not a legit story, or at least “unconfirmed” by Snopes.]
