We had people selling Trump shaped chocolates for Christmas and Valentines here. And the worst part was the signs everywhere (those little foamboard wire ones) advertising it.
Yeah. My son and I have talked each other out of multiple projects just because it’s a stink you can’t remove once it gets on you.
The main image, not the one shown in this thread, makes it look like felt glued onto the tacky painted shoes. I wouldn’t be shocked for a second to learn they are of poor quality.
To put it in perspective, it’s approximately 0.1% of the current judgements.
Instead of buying ghostwritten books PACs are now buying up…sneakers?
I suspect gold lamé is now out of stock at Hobby Lobby.
Per the Medium article, that’s a story they made up, not a real thing. I was annoyed to find that out after I made an account to read it.
They cite this Snopes article as their inspiration for the story: Did a Couple Visit a Bank to Cash a 'Gold' Trump $5,000 Bill? | Snopes.com
I’m sure he’d be among the first to agree that he ain’t polite company.
Here’s hoping there are forensic accountants looking for the shell companies buying all those sneakers…
It’s almost like he -wants- to be the most indicted presi-(gag)… huma-(cough), thing!
You enjoy getting scammed? 
Weird flex, but okay… You do you, I guess.
You can always go pay more for them on eBay.
The old DOUBLE scam! Brilliant way to get one’s full enjoyment out of being scammed!
There ya go, @V47! Enjoy your new sneaks!!!
Free Shipping? OK, then.
Interesting logo. Looks like:
Maybe these guys can sue related to the Uppers, and Louboutin can sue related to the red soles?
And the rest of us can sue based upon the bad taste!
Couple gems from the trump sneakers website’s FAQ:
“The images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product.”
“There are no refunds. All sales on GetTrumpSneakers dot com are final.”
“Trump Fragrances are expected to start shipping in June 2024. Trump Sneakers are expected to start shipping July 2024 for the gold High-Tops, and the Potus 45 White Knit & Red Wave Knit are expected to ship in August 2024. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments”
So… we’ll see if anyone actually receives a pair of sneakers.
I thought they hadn’t yet been released, like they were months away? Is the eBay seller auctioning their place in line (if not just straight-up scamming)?
I imagine 45 putting the whole operation up as the bond for the $~345M. They may (possibly will) never produce a single shoe, but right now, the idea is valuable to someone and somehow that will stand in for the judgment (or rather, the portion he has to post as bond during appeal).
(Edit for editness)
I’m surprised it’s not $45,014.88
