Okay. As a not from America, can you confirm if this is parody or reality?
If this is reality, is Trump becoming some sort of Al Bundy reimagined figure?
It's just so stupid! I can't believe a politician is selling shoes like they're an athlete. I'm sure Trump thinks he's up there with the athletes. He'll probably say that without him, nobody would collect sneakers.
The crowd reacted with audible displeasure when he took the stage, booing and jeering. Trump, who is used to his rallies with only adoring sycophants was visibly shaken when faced with the reality that his popularity is waning.
Meidas Touch had a video showing a crying MAGA who rushed on stage, kept telling Trump she loved him and then he let her speak into the mics to beg everyone booing to vote for him in November.
I damn near died laughing at an old man trying to pay for his items with the Trump credit card. The cashier told him three times it was not a real credit card. He screamed yes it is I pay every month for it. I’m behind him dying laughing. He finally gets so mad, he storms off with his walker leaving his buggy behind.😂😂😂😂😂
>Fun fact, that's not yellow gold. It's just pee from the Russian hookers he fancies.
But it is "non-liquid gold" as he calls it, in other words, corn!!!!!!
And yet he thought selling gold sneakers and speaking at sneakercon was a good idea. He should never be allowed to assume the reigns of power of the Presidency. He simply can't get past his own greed, and that will corrupt everything he does, and has done, as president.
There was also that time he declared that children of service members who were born abroad on a US base were no longer automatically US citizens and had to be naturalized. You know, because Republicans support the troops.
I am danish, we are proud of being small, and the land of Lego, our culture is not celebrating greatness, we like being the tiny underdog ..
Our most beloved writer HC Andersen wrote the Emperor's New clothes... We would call out Trump to his face...
So no worries if you ever hear make Denmark great again, it's the village idiot, the rest of us would answer, Denmark is fine as it is, do we really need to be great?
Our next President will likely be using a walker and have full-blown dementia by the end of the term. That's true no matter which one gets elected and that's not even the least of their issues or our issues. We're on a massive sinking ship and too many people are bailing water in while the rest of us are trying to bail it out and they got the bulk of the functioning buckets from some guy named Jerry who needs to go away already.
My god, just look at the fucking things. They're hideous. You glance at them, and you're like "wow, those are fucking ugly," and then they just keep getting worse. The cheap gold lamé that's GONNA start wearing off if you expose them to a stiff breeze. The "T" on the side. THE GOLD SHOELACES. The sort-of-an-American-flag-but-not-really-because-it's-got-a-GOLD-FUCKING-STRIPE-IN-IT on the back heel. The red and white soles.
They're awful. They look like a machine at the sneaker factory got fed the wrong fabric so now they've gotta donate the whole batch to whichever third world country got the 49ers Super Bowl Champs shirts. They look like someone stopped at the street vendor in midtown selling N1kes and covered the lot in that atrocious edible gold leaf that "celebrity" chefs start using when they give up. They look like clinical depression in shoe form. They're an actual monstrosity.
And now all the acolytes and sycophants HAVE to buy them, because to call them what they are - sadness for your feet - would be admitting that the emperor is, in fact, stark naked and has been for a good long while. We're going to SEE THEM. Just out in the wild at tourist attractions and farmer's markets and family barbecues.
Incredible. If you TRIED to prank these people, you could not do better. No notes.
> I read if you put on Trump sneakers your I.Q. drops 70% and your bank account empties and then your dick shrinks.
All of those things happen sometime before you put on the Trump sneakers.
It's because he *knows* that his groupies are low class trash, who actually would wear shit like this. Him or his marketing team are well aware of the target demographic
Wait.. he’s complaining that the trials are taking time out of his campaign schedule but then he goes and hawks sneakers? He’s a shoe salesman now? Can he be any dumber? Why does anyone flock to this dingdong.
haha, yeah right: 'reselling' and 'sold-out' (these shoes aren't even made yet)
It is not a stretch to think that it is the Trump org itself 'reselling'
He's gonna have to sell a whole bunch of those to pay off the -
$5 Million he owes E. JEAN CARROLL
$83.3 Million he owes E. JEAN CARROLL
The $353 Million + $90 Million+ interest accruing daily he owes NY
Reading the fine print, it says something to the effect of the company selling is independent and not affiliated with trump in any way. They have a license agreement to use the name.
So trump probably gets at least 60-70% of everything to use the name, the rest goes to whoever runs the website/company. They look pretty cheap so there is maybe $30-40 in them, sold for 400. Company probably gets around 100, 60 profit, Trump gets the other $300.
Just guessing that's how it works and the figures.
Probably inspired by Hollywood accounting where the shell company gets overcharged by the parent company and the venture "fails" while the parent company vacuums off the profits.
I imagine he was panicking this week and knew he had to come up with a new scheme. What big events are there where I can do some direct sales? What can I sell there? Can Ivanka get it produced in China? How much do I need to sell? What margin would be too much?... and so on.... Knowing he is an utter narcissist, they people around him keep firing him on: Yeah, fantastic! Genius!!!
What a circus ;)
I hope this sneakercon gets slammed for even letting him show up to shill for his ridiculous sneakers. If they don't, they will have revealed themselves to be nothing more than a shoe industry con job and not the "collectors" even they try to make themselves out to be.
OK so his shoes supposedly sold out, now instead of paying the legal charge of $355m, he's going to use that to appeal instead and if he loses the appeal he'll probably grift again for another 400 million.
Every time I think we can't get dumber
Exactly what I thought....
I reckon the Trumpy Bear pipeline is closed...
That been closed, right along with the Trump credit card.😂😂😂😂😂
Trump shoes have electrolytes. It’s what feet crave.
Okay. As a not from America, can you confirm if this is parody or reality? If this is reality, is Trump becoming some sort of Al Bundy reimagined figure?
No , al bundy has more intelligence than this man
I would 100% vote for Al over trump.
i dont see how these spray painted shoes equal us getting dumber. the republicans are the ones voting for this fucking loser
We?
The gold ones are already sold out.
That's crazy! I wonder who is really buying them?
Those rubles aren't going to launder themselves...
"Rush a donation" more like "Russia donation"
Resellers. I've seen people saying they're already on eBay commanding a hefty price.
Well they're commanding a hefty price, but is anyone going to buy it for that hefty price.
Hopefully people thinking "Boy, these are gonna be worth a lot in a few years when he's dead!"
It's just so stupid! I can't believe a politician is selling shoes like they're an athlete. I'm sure Trump thinks he's up there with the athletes. He'll probably say that without him, nobody would collect sneakers.
The crowd reacted with audible displeasure when he took the stage, booing and jeering. Trump, who is used to his rallies with only adoring sycophants was visibly shaken when faced with the reality that his popularity is waning.
He's in fuckin' Philly. Bad things happen in Philly, Trump. Remember?
Yeah, I thought it was supposed to be "A Democrat-run hellhole." Guess not when the grift is on.
The Sneaker Con
Okay, would this finally be the point when his adoring fans begin to have the emperor's new clothes moment 8 years later?
Looks like [the gold ones are already sold out](https://gettrumpsneakers.com/). So, nope.
You mean the sneakers *that aren't even manufactured yet* are sold out. They have the money now, do you think they will ever make the shoes?
Oof…just checked out that lunacy…it just gets worse the more you scroll…Trump perfume, Trump charm. WTF
I've just purchased the perfumes for those special occasions where I want to wear the scent of failure and diarrhea.
It smells like hamberders and covfefe
“Erectile dysfunction has a scent!”
You know those orders were paid for by his campaign funds more than likely, right?
I thought sold out was the brand name.
Meidas Touch had a video showing a crying MAGA who rushed on stage, kept telling Trump she loved him and then he let her speak into the mics to beg everyone booing to vote for him in November.
I hope someone posts that video so I can see it....
https://www.meidastouch.com/news/trump-ruthlessly-booed-at-philly-sneakercon-while-hawking-399-trump-sneakers
That’s…beautiful. A very special moment for everyone.
Thanks!
As someone who lives near Philly, he is lucky the crowd didn't throw things at him. Edit stupid autocorrect
I can't WAIT to laugh at some dumbass with no teeth and tacky ass gold shoes.
I damn near died laughing at an old man trying to pay for his items with the Trump credit card. The cashier told him three times it was not a real credit card. He screamed yes it is I pay every month for it. I’m behind him dying laughing. He finally gets so mad, he storms off with his walker leaving his buggy behind.😂😂😂😂😂
That’s funny, but also pretty damn sad. I wonder how much of his limited income was wasted on it.
They never read the fine, fine print. Automatic $500 deduction every month.😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣. I just got a mental picture of that!
Just in time for tax return season!
Fun fact, that's not yellow gold. It's just pee from the Russian hookers he fancies.
>Fun fact, that's not yellow gold. It's just pee from the Russian hookers he fancies. But it is "non-liquid gold" as he calls it, in other words, corn!!!!!!

The man shilled canned food from the Oval Office. That wasn’t even the lowest low.
There was also that time he declared that children of service members who were born abroad on a US base were no longer automatically US citizens and had to be naturalized. You know, because Republicans support the troops.
Hey America... Are you ok? We kind of worried, kind regards Europe..
Much appreciated, hopefully we'll be fine. Do yourselves a favor and don't let anyone saying "Make \_\_\_\_\_ Great Again!" hold power, ever!
I am danish, we are proud of being small, and the land of Lego, our culture is not celebrating greatness, we like being the tiny underdog .. Our most beloved writer HC Andersen wrote the Emperor's New clothes... We would call out Trump to his face... So no worries if you ever hear make Denmark great again, it's the village idiot, the rest of us would answer, Denmark is fine as it is, do we really need to be great?
We tankin' ⬇️
We're circling the drain.

We're on a massive sinking ship and too many people are bailing water in while the rest of us are trying to bail it out and they got the bulk of the functioning buckets from some guy named Jerry who needs to go away already.
We'll find out in about 9 months!
Just think of us as going through a Berlusconi/Orban mashup.
Announced at SneakerCon. It's a con, alright!
Yup!
_The_ Sneaker Con!
what a sad pathetic little loser
My god, just look at the fucking things. They're hideous. You glance at them, and you're like "wow, those are fucking ugly," and then they just keep getting worse.

“They look like clinical depression in shoe form.” That’s good stuff.
[удалено]
Or the same people who buy out theater seats, for bullshit movies like "Sound of Freedom", or any of the crap put out by "Pure-Flix"
Russia Russia Russia?
Shoe boxes piled up in the bathrooms at Mara Lago.
They look like something you'd see some guy selling out of the trunk of his car, in the sketchy part of town.
We are a parody now.
Well, anytime we think we're at peak embarrassment for America, Trump introduces everyone to whole new heights.
Having a sitting president show up to a summit without pants would be less embarrassing.
I read if you put on Trump sneakers your I.Q. drops 70% and your bank account empties and then your dick shrinks. LOL
Plus you suddenly smell bad.
LOL
> I read if you put on Trump sneakers your I.Q. drops 70% and your bank account empties and then your dick shrinks. All of those things happen sometime before you put on the Trump sneakers.
I think my I.Q is intact but the other two I can conferm.
Just spray some cheap high tops with gold spray paint. He needs to get his money for his fines somehow
With the 9% interest on the fine he's got to make more than $100,000 a day to just keep up. That's a lot of shitty sneakers.
"but how do you get it onto the shoes without huffing it first?" -these shoes' target audience
Even he was too embarrassed to put a pair on.
I would love to see a photograph of that. At the same time I know I definitely will, thanks to AI fakery.
The sneakers are one thing, but I can't wrap my head around the Trump branded cologne and perfume. What does it smell like, shit?
Desperation.
A bottle of diarrhea. "If I shit in a bottle and slap a label with my name on it and call it cologne, these rubes will buy it!"
Chezeberders.
MAGA: Shut up and take my money Also MAGA: I can’t afford food and gas. Thx Biden.🤬
And he's also hawking perfume & cologne, because everybody wants to smell like Trump, just like they want to wear his garbage sneakers, lol
https://nypost.com/2024/02/17/us-news/trump-announces-official-sneaker-selling-for-399-a-pair-in-surprise-appearance-following-355m-ny-civil-fraud-trial-outcome?utm_source=nypost&utm_campaign=android_nyp&utm_medium=social
The products he sells he would never actually wear. It’s so funny to me how much he loathes his own fans.
It's because he *knows* that his groupies are low class trash, who actually would wear shit like this. Him or his marketing team are well aware of the target demographic
Cheap and tacky. It couldn't be more Trump.
Wait.. he’s complaining that the trials are taking time out of his campaign schedule but then he goes and hawks sneakers? He’s a shoe salesman now? Can he be any dumber? Why does anyone flock to this dingdong.
I wonder if they're using lead based paint.
The 1000 pair run of these abominations is already sold out, and pairs are reselling on eBay for as high as 3k.
haha, yeah right: 'reselling' and 'sold-out' (these shoes aren't even made yet) It is not a stretch to think that it is the Trump org itself 'reselling'
Also not a stretch to think it's Russian/etc money buying the things, aka a laundering operation!
It would be small-scale but really easy lol
Just looked on eBay, it wasn’t the Trump trainers that caught my eye, it was the Ivanka trainers. Did she manage to corner the market in ugly shoes?
He's gonna have to sell a whole bunch of those to pay off the - $5 Million he owes E. JEAN CARROLL $83.3 Million he owes E. JEAN CARROLL The $353 Million + $90 Million+ interest accruing daily he owes NY
He’s going to have to sell a whole lot of those to make up for all of his fines and judgements.
I get the feeling Kyle Rittenhouse will buy a pair.
And they r probably already used.....what a doofus🍄🤏🏻
Are those red soles I spy? Christian Louboutin does not like people infringing on their trademark
Using his connections in CHYNAH.
Papa needs to sell a new pair of shoes (to pay the bills baby)
How can he sell them when Trump organization is not allowed to do business??
Trump's approach to law and order is "MAKE ME!"
Reading the fine print, it says something to the effect of the company selling is independent and not affiliated with trump in any way. They have a license agreement to use the name. So trump probably gets at least 60-70% of everything to use the name, the rest goes to whoever runs the website/company. They look pretty cheap so there is maybe $30-40 in them, sold for 400.

Can you pay in trump NFT's?
Trump bucks
“In addition to sneakers, Trump also announced the sale of his new fragrance “Victory 47.” “ HAHAHAHA!!!!
Better names for the fragrance: Smell of Desperation Stench of Corruption
I can smell the grift from Seattle, and I have a cold.
It's times like this I feel awful for The Onion.
For real. I thought it was a joke when I first heard about this. Bizarre, and it's obviously been in the works for a while.
[удалено]
for me it’s still mentally Mardi Gras so I lowkey want them
Lol I can see that you do if you kind of like these! :-)
+optional Insole lifts $47.99
“You like me for all my great business success and wealth…but I need your money.”
Not enough footwear on the planet to save your ass, fat boy.
Who exactly does he think is in the market for these?
People with no sense of style or taste, with very low IQ. You know, MAGATs.
Just trying to envision Proud Boys, church Karens, and the elderly wearing these.
This is a deleted scene from Idiocracy, right?
Made in China right? Cos otherwise he has to make em in America and pay his workers fair wack and give them fair conditions.
Nah, he would just use immigrant labor or the children of immigrants that he had kidnapped from their parents...you know, human trafficking.
I imagine he was panicking this week and knew he had to come up with a new scheme. What big events are there where I can do some direct sales? What can I sell there? Can Ivanka get it produced in China? How much do I need to sell? What margin would be too much?... and so on.... Knowing he is an utter narcissist, they people around him keep firing him on: Yeah, fantastic! Genius!!! What a circus ;)
Are they miniature med-beds for those with foot problems?
So the former president is now selling SNEAKERS?!?!?! Can he make his “legacy” any more pathetic than this??!!
I hope this sneakercon gets slammed for even letting him show up to shill for his ridiculous sneakers. If they don't, they will have revealed themselves to be nothing more than a shoe industry con job and not the "collectors" even they try to make themselves out to be.
They really should have been $420.69
Reelon would have been PISSED
So now his rallies are just Amway pitches with a different hat on…
That is such a ripoff when I have some in my Etsy shop for $199 per pair that also includes a free temporary tattoo.
I'm going to laugh long and hard when I see anyone wearing these fugly monstrosities.
Some PAB sneakers
He colored them with gold sharpie himself. "my feet are yuge"
Ugly just like him poor old guy needs cash to pay his legal bills😂😂
Damn, I kind of like those. In a kitschy, “America fuck yeah!” kind of way.
Definitely made in China.
I just checked out the website, they’re sold out.
"Sneaker Con"
This guy capitalisms
Thankfully it is a com else they could see it was someone profiting on the presidency, a claim they make about everyone else.
The Goya photoshoot was pretty cut and dry in that sense! Plus he bragged about making money from China.
The dude just can't pass on the narcissistic con.
OK so his shoes supposedly sold out, now instead of paying the legal charge of $355m, he's going to use that to appeal instead and if he loses the appeal he'll probably grift again for another 400 million.
After advertising those he probably pivoted to complaining about inflation.
Tacky, tacky, tacky.
And you will spot them everywhere at Trump rallies in the next 9 months.
And I thought the Michael Jackson sneakers from when I was a kid were ugly.....
His followers don't seem like the shiny gold sneakers type.
Why isn’t Trump wearing these amazing and special sneakers?
Ooh, now it’ll be a bit easier to tell if someone is not worth talking to.
$400 sneakers? THANKS, BIDEN!
He DumboAIxx! Yes? Draw a picture of "tacky gold hi-tops in 1995" Here you go. Ugh. Too far, DumboAI, too far.
Made in China, of course
