He’ll only need to sell 1.25 million of them.
No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.
-H L Mencken 1926
Most powerful country in the world elects fraudulent shoe salesman.
To be fair he wasn’t a shoe salesman the first time we elected him.
I’m imagining a depressing future.
Heres how this grift works, its become quite common and started with books. Once you know it you will see it all the time.
-
Politician writes book = politicians pr firm hires ghost writer to write book.
-
Politician says one controversial/spicy/tell all thing in book
-
Politician goes on all news shows to promote book/super spicy new hot take
-
Politicians PAC/dark money donor/political party/putin buys up millions of copy of said book injecting millions into campaign not subject to campaign finance laws that can be spent without regard to laws or limits because its “income”.
-
This massive buy immediately puts book on best seller list while books sit in warehouse.
-
Books in warehouse legitimately sold/given away at campaign events or give as " FREE" copy if you donate X amount today.
-
Politician gets to be on all cable news shows, gets a massive injection of untraceable cash that isnt subject to campaign finance law, and now is a new york times best selling author. Win, win, win.
-
Its just money laundering
Trumps shoes? Same as his super hero cards. Its a way to launder in untraceable money from putin, perhaps folks he sold nuclear secrets to, and god knows who else. If it doesnt seem to make sense that all of the sudden trump is selling sneakers its because it doesnt. Hes laundering dark money in full view of the public.

Sneakers made by CIC Ventures and those NFTs were made by CIC Digital… He just can’t get over that he’s no longer Commander In Chief.
I hope every customer is looked into. All of his side projects smell like money laundering operations to me.
“Well, Judge, I purchased each pair at such a high price because my client, Mr. Ivan Oligarchsky, believed them to actually be solid gold and has no desire to return them.”
“What’s that? Oh, yes, the same is true of Sam Saudi, the other party I represented. He is also satisfied and would just like this whole thing to go away.”
“As to my own culpability in assisting this alleged, ALLEGED, skirting of political fundraising guidelines (we don’t like the term ‘laws’) I was acting as a broker for the rightful President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, so I declare immunity.”
“Yes, I have seen The Office, why do you ask?”
“Mostly livestock law, you know ‘was it coyotes or the damn Hendersons’, but I have done some real estate for family. It’s a small town. Very conservative. Not much call for lawyering.”
Like the $99 NFTs that you could only buy 100 of, conveniently falling just short of the IRS reporting threshold?
I’m kind of naive and gullible. I’m a little embarrassed I hadn’t considered this perspective. It seems so obvious now that you point it out for us.
It looks like the shoes Al Bundy invented
Clownshoes. Literally 🤡
Trump last year reported making between $100,000 and $1 million for a series of digital trading cards
nfts?
yep. aka a plausible way to jam Russian money into his pockets in return for future favors without leaving an obvious trail
Would you like to look like White Trash? Well, we have the sneakers for you! Only $399.99
Christ alive, this grifter was the president of the united states
Grifter in Chief
Christ alive, this grifter has a realistic chance of becoming President again.
Except now he owes nearly half a billion in judgements against him. :-D
he still is… everyone else are just robot clones while he drains the swamp in the background /s
They should use this picture as his official presidential portrait.
Haven’t purchased a single Goya product since that shit. Fuck any brand that affiliates with that terrorist.
The signs reading “SNEAKERHEADS LOVE TRUMP” really just comfirms my opinion of most sneakerheads.
What makes me chuckle about sneakerheads is I bet many of them look down their noses at people that collect(ed) beanie babies. I’ve got some bad news for them…
The sole is way too thin and there’s virtually no padding on the upper ankle. Also, you’ll have to lace them up the whole way every time like blazers, I’d imagine – just judging by the profile.
I dont know what he’s going on about. Those shoes are about as thinly made and supportive as his source material.
Oh, this is absolutely some shitty Chinese knock-off glued together with tears made for probably tree fiddy.
You know it’s bad when he didn’t even go to his BFF Kanye to make them. At least those would have sold for like a grand each. When you gotta laundry that money tho…
I hear they give you bonespurs.
these things are gaudy, garish, and look super cheap.
who exactly are these things for? I’m sure there are a few magat sneakerheads but not enough to bring even a niche product to market.
I do know even at $400 a pop not enough are going to move to put a dent in that almost half billion in judgements he owes in new york.
You’ve almost answered your own question.
Tip: most will be sold to international buyers.
Lol he didn’t have the balls to charge $500. Even MechWarrior Online did that, they sold $500 gold mechs in a free to play game.
Hopefully he soon launches a fashion brand I hear orange jumpsuits are in these days
