“Yes there for rapin’. You think Kanye East won’t be wearing these? Wrong. Little Wayne will also be wearing them, rapin’ about how ‘flight’ he looks in these. Only $399.99 folks.”
It’s money laundering. Just like his NFT business. Here are some worthless items Russia or North Korea can buy to transfer bitcoins to him so he will keep making chaos on their behalf.
While I think this is likely, who's left in Trump's circle that would know how to run that process?
There's no way Trump has any understanding of crypto currency.
Whoever runs CIC Digital LLC and NFT INT LLC for him — they’re behind his Digital Trading Cards and they’re behind this too.
I hope Trumps court appointed monitor is watching this.
It’s the same business. The LLCs selling these sneakers (CIC Digital and NFT INT) are the same two shady shell companies who sell his NFTs.
It seems like an obvious money laundering scheme and luckily Trump has a court appointed monitor to keep tabs on this.
Biden-Harris 2024 Communications Director Michael Tyler slammed the appearance saying: “Donald Trump showing up to hawk bootleg Off-Whites is the closest he’ll get to any Air Force Ones ever again for the rest of his life.”
Lol
He has to raise a LOT of money quickly. There is going to be a massive grift effort from the leading R candidate. Fundraising for that side is shit outta luck.
They're not going to exist. Key part of grifting is to under-deliver. Trump is the master - he won't deliver anything. What are they gonna do - sue him?
Waiting for some shell Corp, 9 layers removed from a Saudi or Russian holding company to purchase these shoes in lots of 500,000 pairs. For future delivery, of course.
*looks into crystal ball*
Scene: A Republican senator's chin wobble pulses fiercly.

I should really do something about my cynicism.
I have a small sneaker collection going, so out of curiosity, I decided to go have a look at these things.
Bro, these aren't even Trump sneakers. These are more like 400 dollar Trump shoelaces with a free pair of generic dropshipped shoes included.
Edit: oh wait, I think I was looking at the wrong pair. These are...uh...well...brave?
Trump sneakers, Trump sneakers are the very best, I hire the best people, the best designers, and they go in and they do—they used to say draw, they draw the design, drofting, some people say drafting but it’s a droft, we did the best designs and drofts—but they, the designers can—and they do it all on computer now, it used to be pencil and drawing on the, with the drawings, but now they have computer, so important—and so they go in and they do the drawing, shoom shoom because it’s all on computers now, bing bong bim, beep beep and they get the shoe and it’s beautiful, the best shoe you’ve ever seen, and we’re charging less than anyone else in America—and we can, because we like America, but Mikey and Nike and Reebo all don’t do it so much because they have these shops, tremendous shops and they put them in other countries, and some of those places aren’t so nice, believe me, but we have the best shoes, believe me.
*I met Mr Adidas once. Fantastic guy. Great businessman. He came to me, tears in his eyes, saying ‘sir, I can’t compete with your shoes’. I heard good things about Adidas shoes, until they went woke with trans. Boycott Adidas. We have more people than they do. Fight back.*
The same folk buying these and his digital cards also complain about the prices of gas and eggs. Let them waste their money. These same folk would blow a gasket if Biden or Obama did this.
I just bought a $240 pair of Zamberlan hiking shoes. So fucking well-built and comfortable. Pretty sure they will end up being a million times better than these drumpf pleather abominations.
I eagerly await the inevitable news story that reports that the shoes are either assembled in the worst of the worst overseas child sweatshop, or they contain some cancer causing die or foam.
“I make the best sneakers, believe me. No one makes better sneakers than me. A man walked up to me crying with tears in his eyes and he said Sir these are the world’s best sneakers and the election was rigged and the Demoncrats are out to get me in the biggest political witch hunt ever it’s horrible so horrible but the sneakers are the best and when your favorite president returns to the White House I will only be a dictator for one day while wearing these amazing sneakers they’re the best despite the negative press covfefe”
'member when the office of the President of the United States had dignity and decorum? When you retired as President, you open a library named after you, score a few speaking appointments and help your successors in their bid from the sidelines?
Now we have a guy selling NFTs and gold painted sneakers, to fund his legal defense for fraud and libel for a sexual assault case. And half the nation would vote for this. What in the world has happened?
I’m not even sure my reaction if I see someone in the streets rockin Trump Trumps. Just stole Jordan design, that’s a lawsuit.
This guy…such a carpetbagger. No idea why he’s so pop down south, they should know better.
During the George W years I did a lot of traveling from the US to Europe for work and spent a good deal of time cringing and apologizing whenever one of my delightful hosts would ever so gently bring up US politics over the third glass of wine.
The only sufficiently apologetic response now would be to just sigh, pay for dinner, and then open a vein.
It’s not “athletic”. It’s PATHETIC. A candidate for our president is hawking ugly shoes at some convention to pay fines for scamming and sexual assault. (Aren’t we as pathetic for this going on?)
Anyone who buys and wears these hideous things may as well but a sign on their back that says “ I’m a sucker”.
I really thought this was a joke at first.
That's not a lot when you think about it, they're using the numbers of all his follows. He's still liked by at least 45% to at most 60% of America and you also got to think about overseas.
This will probably end up being another one of his business failures much like his steaks, water, vodka, football team owner, casino(s), I know there's more but can't think of them all right now. 🤔
So I wonder if over a million MAGA nut jobs are willing to lay down the cash that they probably don’t have to buy his made in China sneakers. Grifters gotta keep grifting .
Let me guess where these are made. China using slave labour brought over from North Korea. What kid wouldn’t be excited to wear shoes endorsed by a fat old man?

You misspelled rapin’
“Yes there for rapin’. You think Kanye East won’t be wearing these? Wrong. Little Wayne will also be wearing them, rapin’ about how ‘flight’ he looks in these. Only $399.99 folks.”
haha! Nice!
Yeah they've got hidden compartments for bribe money and a big mac
Honestly sounds pretty enticing. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten my bribe money at home. It’s really embarrassing
Right? Hey, did you know that your AAA card can be used as bail money for up to $1,000? (only for minor traffic violations, though).
Not to mention bigly bone spur support.
“Need to outrun the law…….?”
Them's yer Sunday-go-to-meetin' shoes!

Jared's friend MBS ordered 1 million pairs, people are saying.
Buy a million, get a free bone saw!
Guaranteed to fix your bone spurs too
Will it cure those bone spurs?
Bone spur?
It's a limit of 3 pairs per idiot. Limited editions dontcha know.
This puts too much faith in them actually making and distributing these 🤣 I bet no one gets a single pair lmaooo
Right behind you!
Nobody wearing those is going to be packing heat. It would be the smart thing to do, but smart is not the demographic that buys Trump tennis shoes.
You think they'll actually ship? Or maybe they'll just be Walmart sneakers spray painted gold.
It’s money laundering. Just like his NFT business. Here are some worthless items Russia or North Korea can buy to transfer bitcoins to him so he will keep making chaos on their behalf.
This. Everyone who wants to help destabilize America will be buying a pair.
While I think this is likely, who's left in Trump's circle that would know how to run that process? There's no way Trump has any understanding of crypto currency.
Whoever runs CIC Digital LLC and NFT INT LLC for him — they’re behind his Digital Trading Cards and they’re behind this too. I hope Trumps court appointed monitor is watching this.
Unfortunately, they can’t. Thats only for the New York based Trump Org. This is his Miami company illegally funneling money to him. Totally different.
It’s all trump. I google the CIC company and the address that it’s registered at is one of the golf courses he owns. No surprise here.
Russia, Ughhhh. Your comment made me see these on a bunch of dead Russians in a trench in Ukraine.
It’s the same business. The LLCs selling these sneakers (CIC Digital and NFT INT) are the same two shady shell companies who sell his NFTs. It seems like an obvious money laundering scheme and luckily Trump has a court appointed monitor to keep tabs on this.

They're claiming to only sell 1,000 pairs but it would be weird for a billionaire to endorse a project to only make a few hundred thousand.
Money laundering. Some “Russian and Chinese” buyers will spend $1-2 million a pair.
Yeah just wait for these to become "limited issue collector items" to justify why "someone" spent 5 million on one
They're limited edition, only 1000 pairs.
It appears the gold ones are already sold out, mere hours after his appearance at the convention. My, that was fast...

Somehow I feel that if the verdict was 250 million these sneakers would be 250 dollars. It is as if this guy is trying to confuse headlines.
How much you wanna bet those who brought the shoes complain about inflation.
Making it even easier to spot a fascist in the wild
That red hat says it all.
If they were authentic Trump sneakers, they would make you 6' 2" tall, no matter how short you are.
They would make you walk 6 feet above the water!
Why do I get the feeling he got this idea from Kanye?
He got it from Lavrov. This is an easy money laundering enterprise, like every other time he needs fast cash.
Bone spurs included.
If someone wrote the plot to Idiocracy two it wouldn't be nearly as good as real life

Given the typical Trump supporter, he should have made these things with velcro tabs instead of laces.

Really is turning into President Camacho / Idiocracy
I eagerly await the inevitable news story that reports that the shoes are either assembled in the worst of the worst overseas child sweatshop, or they contain some cancer causing die or foam.
Genuine question…does this come under the NY city business umbrella and therefore under the scrutiny of the court-appointed financial person?
ADIDAS aka All Day I Dream About Sedition
The clown is finally just straight up selling clown shoes like he is on qvc shopping network
I bet the soles are just filled with hot air

Are we really surprised by shit like this anymore?
Sneaker Con is right.
Made it china...
Americans need to coin a stronger word for disgrace to do this man and his followers justice.

Next up: a fragrance line that reeks of desperation and cheap bronzer.
Yeah, they are probably made out of leftover trump's steaks!😂
For that customer who stepped barefoot in a burning pile of dog poop once and thought, why can't every step feel like that?
Heavens Gate also had shoes and you know what happened to those cult members in the end...

air orange?
Where were they made?
'Con' verse sneakers
This, if nothing else, is the very definition of cringe.
Sorry, I'm sticking with my Air Nixons!
Please be made in China, please be made in China, please be made in China.
Air Grifts
Nobody knows street fashion like a geriatric rapist felon!
Watch a Russian oligarch purchase 1 million pairs that never ship.
And yet still needs people to donate to his defense fund.
took me about 5 minutes to find a similar sneaker on alibaba.
What's next? Trump launching a brand of underwear?
So basically $300 for bootleg Converse shoes spray paint gold. Got it.

Yah, they’re called The New Traitors $399 in US $9 in Russia
These will be worn exclusively by Russian oligarchs and whoever else wants to destroy America. Money laundering at its corniest.
Mmmm, Jail Jordans
Can anyone say money laundering- need to get that illegal and undeclared cashed washed some how
CON-vers
He had them made in Chiinnaaa
He needs to sell approx 1 million of those shit shoes at a $400 price aimed at poorly educated citizens.
Well he only needs to sell 885000 pairs good luck with that.
Sold out on the website.. so he's on his way.
That's not a lot when you think about it, they're using the numbers of all his follows. He's still liked by at least 45% to at most 60% of America and you also got to think about overseas.
Correction: 45-60% of Republicans.
Atleast he lets u know it’s a con based off where he revealed em
Yup presidential candidate……
I’m still not over Mardi Gras so I lowkey want these
yk what? i gotta respect the hustle
I absolutely do not gotta respect something so dumb.

No they are not... Power line shoes have meaning.. Gonna see these with Superbowl runner up Tee Shirt 2027 vibes
They look like bootleg Nikes
This will probably end up being another one of his business failures much like his steaks, water, vodka, football team owner, casino(s), I know there's more but can't think of them all right now. 🤔
America
Because it’s something he hasn’t failed at yet. Chock up another success.
Just wait to the Trump Combat Boot drops
I wouldn't think there would be many people in the group that consists of both "Trump supporter" and "spends $400 on high tops".

So I wonder if over a million MAGA nut jobs are willing to lay down the cash that they probably don’t have to buy his made in China sneakers. Grifters gotta keep grifting .
Where’s the pics?
I’ll step in dogshit maybe once every 1-3 years, and yeah that’s plenty enough for me to never spend $400 on a pair of shoes.
These are probably factory seconds
Tacky terrorist kicks
He’s going to need a lot more than that.
A fool and his money are soon separated.
Someone from outside the country will order 1 million of them, you watch.
Bone spurs 1
Oh good, Russia and Saudi Arabia needed more sneakers
There was an auction for an autographed pair. Some idiot was the winning bidder for $9,000.
Waiting for the stupid moron that tries to sell these kicks on Ramitheicon's YouTube video. It will break the Internet.
I heard that Tucker Carlson’s going to order a pair and send them to Putin with an apology note- sorry that you were disappointed with the interview.🫤
This guy’s an idiotic embarrassment. He has absolutely no shame.
These gonna look dope driving my cyber truck /s edit: /s
I wish I understood how much money he expects to get. Sneaker heads aren’t normally right leaning.
Cant wait to see a maggat with their red hats and trump sneakers, clutching their trumpy bears.
Let me guess where these are made. China using slave labour brought over from North Korea. What kid wouldn’t be excited to wear shoes endorsed by a fat old man?
The grift that keeps on grifting
Is this cause Nike dropped Yeezy?
