Made in China, of course.

But wait, there’s more!

Coming soon, we’ll be offering official “Grab ‘em By the Pussy!” G-strings, pre-scented by a porn star near you!

One special G-string worn by Stormy Daniels herself will be auctioned to support the fund to defend Criminal #1. May or may not contain Presidential DNA!

Some stupid fuck paid $9K for a pair hoping a stupider fuck might pay more?

There is a very real possibility that these are $18 Temu sneakers with stickers added.

Helluva markup, but many buying them [if anyone does] will still complain about the price of gas and groceries. What do they think that he is going to do to rein in prices? He doesn't have any secret formula/s that nobody else has. Sure things were better before COVID, but was that because of him or in spite of him?

Except for the few pairs they brought out as samples it's all "pre-sales", pay now, maybe get garishly tacky shoes later.

this guy has no limits -- looks like wrestling boots, doubt they'd last for a 10 minute walk- --

i wonder how they work with bone spurs?

There is also probably sales tax and shipping costs. I wonder how much of the $399 he collects as a royalty.

All of it, I’d bet - he’s famous for never paying his bills. Some poor Chinese shoe supplier is going to learn the hard way.

Best part is he introduced this grift at a shoe convention, was scheduled to give a one-hour speech, got booed off about 59 minutes short.

Wonder if his usual apologists here have ordered theirs yet?

Nothing like disrespecting the flag or parts thereof.

The same website where you can buy those snazzy sneakers is offering trump cologne as well. You too can walk around smelling like a quarter pounder with cheese and a 10 piece mcnuggett.

The man should try using his own cologne. Lots of reports of him having a very distinctive and disgusting body order. Come to think of it, maybe he using the cologne he sells.

Several years ago my wife, as a joke, bought me several bottles of the wine being sold by Trump. The stuff was positively putrid.

Next thing you know his kids will be painting and selling pictures for crazy amounts.

Most of the art I've ever seen sold brought, to me, crazy amounts so I simply didn't buy it.

I guess since the "star witness" got indicted for lying this is all you have left...

I bet bluefish looks the bomb sporting his new gold Air(head) Trumps.

Good for him! Should be real popular in Chicago and Harlem, not for political reasons but because they just look cool.

Who the hell really cares?

I wear the same Cowboy Cut Wranglers, Land’s End Oxford button downs, and boots where ever I go unless the occasion calls for a suit or shorts and tennis shoes…which in that case I wear my plain jain bought from Academy name brand of whatever they had that fit well sneaker.

Did somebody twist your arm to buy a pair Mike?

It just makes him look greedy and grasping- which, of course, he is!

It was apparently a Russian oligarch:

I'm making fun of the idiot grifter you support. Stop interrupting.

It really looks like these are being drop-shipped by a Chinese supplier and the few sold at the sneaker convention were likely pre-production samples.

You are making fun of the wrong guy.

The fool is the idiot who buys this crap, no?

Plenty of fools to go around in the Trumpublican Party.

Also a good chance they'll lose every penny for trademark infringement:

A federal appeals court has ruled that shoe designer Christian Louboutin can enforce a U.S. trademark of the red-lacquered sole that adorns the designer’s footwear when it contrasts with the color of the rest of the shoe.

Nothing the orange buffoon and his sycophants do surprises me any more….

I'm making fun of the grifter and anybody that supports the grifter.

Why would you come on here and try to argue that trump is not a grifting piece of shit who is selling gold tennis shoes to his idiot constituency?

I'm curious.

Don't ask me.

By the way, I'm with you on the Land's End button downs. Excellent shirts. I wear them every day.

Their khakis are also very good.

Are you going to be ordering some gold tennis shoes from the trump collection? Maybe one of them Lucha Libre wrestling masks that jeffe posted up to match?

Help pay your boy's legal bills.

I’m not sure which is larger, his legal bills or his fines…

I've got a little bit of integrity. I wouldn't be caught dead peddling trash like this I don't care how much money I'd make.

Your point being that you would make a decision based on your ethics not to make money when you could.

While it shows Trump is not above using anything to make a buck, its not "foolish" or dumb for him to do so, its more beneath what you would expect of a president to market in such a fashion.

The folks I feel are foolish are the folks who will pay Trump $9000 for a chintzy sneaker and a photo op that does nothing for them other than maybe the hope that Trump will consider them a good fellow.

You really can’t boil it down much better than that analysis.

'We are not liable': Fine print says Trump gold sneakers won't ship for months
Story by David Edwards • 1d

=============================================

It's the same as that fake university and the real estate scams.

=============================================

Anyway, the justifications/rationalizations above from Trump apologists says a lot about ethics.

The rationale is somewhat like blaming the victim. In this case, though, the suckers deserve what they get, IMO.

It's like saying "if they can be conned, that's what they deserve".

Or, "a sucker is around every corner".

Or, "if one con man doesn't get their money, another one will".

"Ripe for plucking"

It would be funny, sort of, if it was just another scam. But this scammer is running his grift on an entire nation and political party. This sneaker thing is just a tidbit.
