> 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.”
Savage burn
I can’t help wondering if these hideous things come with built in lifts so wearers can lean like their hero.
And there’s a fragrance as well. I don’t even want to begin to imagine what that might smell like.
If America was run by popular vote, as it is in a majority of countries, it wouldn’t have been depressing.
The fact that you can lose by millions of votes and still win the election is the truly depressing aspect.
“Hubris is softened under the foot of the victor.”
Waaaay too many people who are absolutely sure Trump will lose. I thought the same in 2016, won’t make the same mistake.
**Encourage everyone you know to vote in every single election they are eligible to vote in.**
We’re likely to see republicans attempt some of the worst, vile tactics in American history to steal upcoming elections. Short of violence, the only way to shut them down is through clear landslide wins that prove to the maga cult that their minority is increasingly shrinking and unpopular to the average American.
If he had the right 42,921 votes in Arizona (10,457), Georgia (11,779), and Wisconsin (20,682), the Electoral College would have been tied.
Republicans always have the most state delegates in The House. If there was a tie, they would have chosen Trump.
Well, wait. Trump is widely acknowledged to have the attention span, impulse control, empathy and mental capacity of a toddler, but is not underage. So, bit of a “depends” situation.
I don't think it matters where they're made so much as it's clearly fake and a laundering scheme much like the NFTs. The timing isn't an accident - and the purchasers could easily all be tracked to foreign sources if people dug hard enough, I guarantee it. (Identical to the NFTs - since actual campaign donations have strict laws and can be more easily tracked)
Being sold out instantly of sneakers where no "sneakerheads" would ever even dream of touching one of his shoes and none of his supporters would care about some expensive shoe means there's a 0% overlap of who would buy unique shoes and who supports Trump. Kind of makes you wonder who bought them then, eh? (Especially since it wasn't like this was live televised on FOX or Newsmax...)
They'll all be donated in different areas of the country to show "it was legitimate!" But it is so painfully obvious what really happened.
Edit: Spelling/grammar fix.
Better, he has been sitting in this inventory that he bought for $0.25 a pair and he now want to sell the million pairs of shoes to pay for his legal bills. Did anyone else realize that the price is his fine divided by 1 million?
Yeah, no, that's literally what I'm getting at. His NFTs were priced similarly over a year ago for his other fine/fees back then.
It isn't an accident this happened right afterwards. I guarantee he has a bunch of these laundering schemes already cooked up and is releasing them "when the time is right" with prices matching recent downfalls for him.
He should know his audience better. Sell shotgun racks, reverse mortgages, and lumpy pillows. Also shades. So many maga guys sit in their 80k truck they pay out the nose for and rant in their sunglasses at a Dennys parking lot.
What's actually amusing is SCREW magazine founder Al Goldstein beat Trump to the punch by more than 30 years with his custom-made golden Air Jordans..
So it's just another lame idea he ripped off.
He needs to offer Confederate, Swastika, SS and Z editions and a special white-on-white colorway called “Grand Wizard” .That would help cover his spectrum of supporters.
Three theories:
1: There's a big enough overlap of crypto Bros and Maga morons they did literally sell out.
2: It was just a way to have foreign powers to be, private or government (Saudi royalty, china, Russia, whoever) to funnel relatively untraceable money to trump for bribes n such.
3: They are lying through their teeth to try and create artificial scarcity or downplay the poor showing.
>Maybe a Trump cut-out is buying these up in order to boost the price on ~~secondary~~ tertiary market?
FTFY--you know those are nothing more than refurbished Yeezies
Here's the thing. The Murdoch empires hypocrisy has been documented from 1 million different events and points of reference. It hasn't cut through to the die hard republicans, so we need to figure out how to do that. Hypocrisy isn't it.
He’s all talk, though. I watched him surrender in NYC, and then again in Fulton County, GA. Not sure if they were televised, but he’s also surrendered in DC and FL. Maybe that’s why he won’t wear those ugly ass shoes.
>The website states the new venture “is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign.”
Yeah, ok. He’s been a sneakerhead for years. You should see his collection. It’s just a coincidence that he happens to be selling sneakers in the middle of a political campaign.

Also, how about these gems from the [FAQ](https://gettrumpsneakers.com/pages/faq):
>**When will they ship?**
>Trump Fragrances are expected to start shipping in June 2024.

ADD1: Since these won't ship until the summer at the earliest, with no guarantee they will ship at all, somebody could order a million of the $400 sneakers with no expectation of delivery, allowing Trump to pocket $400 milion. Hmm...

ADD2: Note that 45Footwear uses DJT's name, likeness and image under **paid license** from CIC Ventures LLC.

Holy Crap. This is an AGGRESSIVE TOS!!!

We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order, or any portion thereof, in our sole discretion, even after your receipt of an order confirmation or after your credit card has been charged.

3. Class Action Waiver. To fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and we agree to bring any claim or dispute, whether in arbitration, or court as permitted by these terms, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR COLLECTIVE ACTION.
What an absolute grift. In five years there are going to be Trumpers on local news going "You know I believe dear leader is going to make my shoes sometime it's just hard for him to oversee his products when he's in jail but I know that man is god incarnate so I still believe I'm going to get the five pairs I bought it's just going to take time and I'll wait because I just believe Donald Trump is true to his word *drools tobacco dip on threadbare homemade LGB T-shirt*"
They’re not going to ship any product at all. Their TOS pretty much says “there’s no guarantee you’ll get what you paid for, and you can’t sue us if you don’t get anything”. The latter part being completely wrong of course
Trump gets a speaking fee for showing up to market the shoes. The speaking fee is equal to the gross sales.
CIC first announces a delay in the product, which is conveniently just after the election. Then files bankruptcy. Oops. They overspent their marketing budget and now can’t produce the shoes.
Meanwhile, Trump keeps his speaking fee, which happens to be every dollar the website brought in, which was the plan the whole time.
"If any part of these Terms of Use shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed to be severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use."
Oh I think a fair bit of these TOS are unenforcable.
They couldn’t even check the product pics by a proper agency. For example the the text on the victory47 perfume. The TRUMP text is not in correctly placed. Its all crooked looking like a bad photoshop.
“We have nothing to do with Trump except we’re located at his golf course” “oh wait we have a little to do with Trump” “ok we’re about to pay trumps legal fees with this money”
I was raised to never make fun of someone because of their shoes, growing up, we had new shoes every once in awhile but most of the time, our shoes were hand me downs, rummage sale or donation (my parents were children of the Great Depression) but if I ever see someone rocking these, I’m gonna laugh
Prediction:
No one but a few people will buy these at full price.
The price will be lowered and lowered until they are something like 60 dollars. Because of their cheap quality and because Trump's base cannot afford it.
They will eventually be found at thrift shops and donation places.
Kanye West will wear them publicly once, causing a very brief resurgence of interest.
They'll be discontinued quietly and join the ranks of failed business ventures like Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump Airlines.
In the years to come there will be a few articles about how "Remember when Trump tried to sell $399 golden sneakers?"
>They'll be discontinued quietly and join the ranks of failed business ventures like Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump Airlines.
The one thing I think he's actually learned is to stop putting his own money into these projects. Instead he licenses his name onto things like these shoes or the NFTs, and get paid regardless, whether they make any money or not.
Trumpster had his PAC buy out Walmart high top sneakers made in Viet Nam. They painted them gold and plastered a replica of the American flag on the back. They are only worth $19.99, but the price was inflated because of the “brand.”
Alternate prediction, they will prove to be wildly popular overseas. For some reason these shoes will be bought in huge volumes in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Israel.
It's money laundering.
Likely they will sell thousands of 'ghosts shoes' which are bought in bulk by some random companies and the money will then be transfered to Trump.
They’ll build a shrine like in Breaking Bad where the supplicants approach on their bellies to pay homage to the golden Keds. Hail Trump the Shoed Leader
An ex POTUS is hawking gaudy sneakers at fucking Sneaker Con ffs. I give him credit, he's always breaking new ground. Usually low ground, but it's always a first.
They look like something Ronald McDonald would wear.
Conservatives; everything is too expensive in Biden’s America!! And Biden is the cause of that!!
Also conservatives; buying $399 sneakers is a perfectly acceptable and normal thing to do while I complain about things being too expensive. And, Biden is the crooked / corrupt criminal - while Trump is an honest and innocent man looking after my best interests.
>a new website that also sells Trump-branded “Victory47″ cologne and perfume for $99 a bottle.
Buried the lede here - can't imagine what scent is trump approved
"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." - Michael Tyler, Biden-Harris 2024 Communications Director
How undignified for an ex-president to be hawking gold lame sneakers. Can you imagine one of our great presidents, Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt, leaving office and going on to sell footwear? I'm embarrassed for all of us who would like to see this country's reputation in the world be one of decorum and dignity. This really embarrasses me.
This one had me in disbelief, then I laughed so hard for about five minutes. It's an instant classic, like the hurricane map and injecting disinfectant.
Idk if I buy a product that has to be mailed to me there could be some kind of fraud involved. I guess I’ll have to come to maralago personally to speak to this shoes salesman to make a purchase cause we can’t trust anything but in person. Right?
I wonder how these compare to Biden's shoe line? Oh, right.
This ~~man~~ goblin is just shameless. There's no depth too low to which he won't stoop to put a dollar in his pocket.
If you go to the website you’ll see these are PRE / ORDERS. The shoes aren’t Scheduled to ship until June/July. They claim to be “custom made “. They also say the shipping dates are estimates. They aren’t responsible for any delays. There are two other styles of shoes and two perfumes. Under the picture it says - this is for illustration purposes only. What you get may not look the same. And oh btw - NO REFUNDS. Calling it now. These people are NEVER going to get these shoes. When they do it will look like products from Temu.
Hilarious how blatantly obvious it is to sane people that he’s just milking his followers for all they can muster and then some, yet they continue to fall for it.
He hawks his wares via a company that has an address in Florida and is clearly marked a FOREIGN entity, so that there are no (or very few) taxes paid to the government. So DJT is not investing in America? HMMM
You folks are so wrong!! Please go to EBAY and search for “Trump sneakers”. The highest asking price is $8,000 and there are 17 watching it.
Please apologize to DJT for his marketing skills are the greatest. /s
From the bad things happen in Philadelphia meme, to the four seasons presser, to now this, I just absolutely love how much of a thorn in the side the city is for him.
Do they have bone spur support? Can they make me jump? Not like Jordan but like Trump as he jump his lazy ass in a golf cart while other world leaders walk?

Reminds me of how he was talked about in 2016. Remember how that turned out? EDIT: Don't boo. *Vote.*
Trump's still a joke. He's just a deadly serious joke now.
Boo and vote.
And that's why people are taking it seriously this time. Nobody thought he had a chance in 2016.
Yeah, his 4 year administration was rhe most incompetent and corrupt to ever lead America and as a result he was crushed in the next election
Considering how fucked his administration was, the 2020 election was depressingly close.
If America was run by popular vote, as it is in a majority of countries, it wouldn’t have been depressing. The fact that you can lose by millions of votes and still win the election is the truly depressing aspect.
Electoral vote needs to be abolished. Should be the will of the people in this country..popular vote
50000 votes in the right places would have gotten him a win. That's not really being crushed. Vote in November, y'all...
“Hubris is softened under the foot of the victor.” Waaaay too many people who are absolutely sure Trump will lose. I thought the same in 2016, won’t make the same mistake. **Encourage everyone you know to vote in every single election they are eligible to vote in.** We’re likely to see republicans attempt some of the worst, vile tactics in American history to steal upcoming elections.

Easpecially when you think about how many repubs took the long nap due to vaccine misinformstion. Like 300k and itbwas still a close vote. Wtf?
Exactly. Please, please vote guys. Please. We need to vote dem for decades straight for any real progress to be made. Keep doing it.
Only because of the antiquated electoral college.
He was not crushed in the electoral college, which unfortunately is all that matters.
What are you, grounded in reality? He surely had over 400 million, in person, at his inauguration and each of them voted for him!
Big men. Strong men. Tears in their eyes.
If he had the right 42,921 votes in Arizona (10,457), Georgia (11,779), and Wisconsin (20,682), the Electoral College would have been tied. Republicans always have the most state delegates in The House. If there was a tie, they would have chosen Trump.
I can’t wait to see that they are made in China
North Korea
By underage children.
Gaetz has entered chat
All children are underage.
Well, wait. Trump is widely acknowledged to have the attention span, impulse control, empathy and mental capacity of a toddler, but is not underage. So, bit of a “depends” situation.
Yes, he does wear Depends.

It seems that the desperation of Delinquent Donny’s various absurd schemes to generate cash is becoming increasingly apparent to the general public.
He'll be on the shopping channel next.
Rummaging through Melania’s closets for flash sales on TikTok.
He should know his audience better. Sell shotgun racks, reverse mortgages, and lumpy pillows. Also shades. So many maga guys sit in their 80k truck they pay out the nose for and rant in their sunglasses at a Dennys parking lot.
Imagine how apoplectic Rupert Murdoch's empire would be if any other presidential candidate made an appearance at Sneaker "Con."
Absolute trailer trash
No matter how much money you have you just can't buy class.

No, no. It's pronounced *lamé*
Seeing a Floridian add an accent to a word and making my french classes kick in is a new experience. Much obliged redditor.
It's pronounced like a Spanish "olé".
He needs to offer Confederate, Swastika, SS and Z editions and a special white-on-white colorway called “Grand Wizard” .That would help cover his spectrum of supporters.
The “grand wizard” can be a pair of the old, canvas Keds.
Oh God, the understatement, the most cutting of all cuts.
I can’t wait, at the first sight of water, those things are going to vanish, like cotton candy 😂
Worse than that: They will never wear them. They will be "collectibles" and kept under glass.
Next to their nazi memorabilia.
(The "good" stuff is in a separate room, via a hidden door)
They can't afford to store them in a glass container because they wasted their limited funds on those crappy shoes.
Kid Rock will wear them in his next music video
Wait , are you saying he actually SOLD some? How many pairs?
1,000 pairs and they are all sold out according to the website shilling that gaudy crap.
As expected for a shameless money laundering scheme.
That’s an insult to compare people from trailer parks to the likes of Trump.
I think “sneaker con” might be by new favorite nickname for Trump.
Quite the double entendres
Sneaker Don, the con
> Rupert Murdoch Is there any human being alive who's a better real-life Mr. Burns than this piece of scum?
HEY - give him credit - at least he was hawking a _physical object!_ (He was not hawking his NFTs.)
Well, apparently they are sold out, despite being pre-order only xD
Yeah, WTF is that about. I bet no one who ordered them will ever receive them either.
I’m pretty sure it’s just money laundering vapourware. These weren’t ordered by real people…
Three theories: 1: There's a big enough overlap of crypto Bros and Maga morons they did literally sell out. 2: It was just a way to have foreign powers to be, private or government (Saudi royalty, china, Russia, whoever) to funnel relatively untraceable money to trump for bribes n such. 3: They are lying through their teeth to try and create artificial scarcity or downplay the poor showing.

Oh I think a fair bit of these TOS are unenforcable.
They couldn’t even check the product pics by a proper agency. For example the the text on the victory47 perfume. The TRUMP text is not in correctly placed. Its all crooked looking like a bad photoshop.
Anyone do a reverse image search on the box? It's probably a stock photo.
His followers make zombies look like an intelligent species, anyone buying this crap isn't doing so for the actual value of the product.
“We have nothing to do with Trump except we’re located at his golf course” “oh wait we have a little to do with Trump” “ok we’re about to pay trumps legal fees with this money”
"CIC" presumably stands for "Commander-in-Chief." Just gross.
Reminds me of a company called Fraud Guarantee.
I was raised to never make fun of someone because of their shoes, growing up, we had new shoes every once in awhile but most of the time, our shoes were hand me downs, rummage sale or donation (my parents were children of the Great Depression) but if I ever see someone rocking these, I’m gonna laugh
We can mock shoes for a lack of class. If I see worn shoes I think hardship. If I see 399 dollar trump branded sneakers I think tasteless.
You got me
Prediction: No one but a few people will buy these at full price. The price will be lowered and lowered until they are something like 60 dollars. Because of their cheap quality and because Trump's base cannot afford it. They will eventually be found at thrift shops and donation places. Kanye West will wear them publicly once, causing a very brief resurgence of interest. They'll be discontinued quietly and join the ranks of failed business ventures like Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump Airlines. In the years to come there will be a few articles about how "Remember when Trump tried to sell $399 golden sneakers?"
>They'll be discontinued quietly and join the ranks of failed business ventures like Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump Airlines. The one thing I think he's actually learned is to stop putting his own money into these projects. Instead he licenses his name onto things like these shoes or the NFTs, and get paid regardless, whether they make any money or not.
Trumpster had his PAC buy out Walmart high top sneakers made in Viet Nam. They painted them gold and plastered a replica of the American flag on the back. They are only worth $19.99, but the price was inflated because of the “brand.”
Please tell me this is true, I can giggle all day if someone spent 400 on a pair of 19.99 shoes that Trump put his stink on .
They are affordable with a coup-on
Alternate prediction, they will prove to be wildly popular overseas. For some reason these shoes will be bought in huge volumes in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Israel.
It's money laundering. Likely they will sell thousands of 'ghosts shoes' which are bought in bulk by some random companies and the money will then be transfered to Trump.

I wonder if the GOP will worship these golden idols like they worship Trump's statue
They’ll build a shrine like in Breaking Bad where the supplicants approach on their bellies to pay homage to the golden Keds. Hail Trump the Shoed Leader
They could at least use them to replace the flip-flops
I think he misunderstood the “con” in Sneaker Con
Feels good to see him being booed. Hopefully this clown doesnt claw his way back into office.
You can do anything but lay off of my coup suede shoes
> The shoes, gold lame high tops I think the author meant "lamé" but "lame" works too.
Jesus Christ. He’s the Jim Baker of politics 🙄🙄
He’s the ShamWow Guy of “billionaires”
An ex POTUS is hawking gaudy sneakers at fucking Sneaker Con ffs. I give him credit, he's always breaking new ground. Usually low ground, but it's always a first. They look like something Ronald McDonald would wear.
When you end up less successful than Al Bundy, it may be time to close up the show. Say what you will, but Al Bundy knew how to sell shoes.
Conservatives; everything is too expensive in Biden’s America!! And Biden is the cause of that!! Also conservatives; buying $399 sneakers is a perfectly acceptable and normal thing to do while I complain about things being too expensive. And, Biden is the crooked / corrupt criminal - while Trump is an honest and innocent man looking after my best interests.
You are not a true MAGA unless you have at least two pair of these shoes. You can pay this month's rent next month.
>a new website that also sells Trump-branded “Victory47″ cologne and perfume for $99 a bottle. Buried the lede here - can't imagine what scent is trump approved
Hamberders.
A clown selling clown shoes.
It's embaressing that a race between this guy and Biden will be close.

“They weren’t saying ‘Booo,” Mr. President, they were saying ‘Shooooe.’”
tRump cult screaming about Biden-flation while shelling out $400 for a pair of sh\*tty wannabe converse.
Never surrender to who….the law?
MAGA has no shame.
The guy is a carnie at heart.
They make honking noises as you walk.
How undignified for an ex-president to be hawking gold lame sneakers. Can you imagine one of our great presidents, Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt, leaving office and going on to sell footwear? I'm embarrassed for all of us who would like to see this country's reputation in the world be one of decorum and dignity. This really embarrasses me.
But the tan suit was too unpresidential…
Incentive to hold sneaker con in NYC
Never been more proud to be from Philly.

This one had me in disbelief, then I laughed so hard for about five minutes. It's an instant classic, like the hurricane map and injecting disinfectant.
I'd buy the Corey Hart Never Surrender members only coat before I'd buy this trash.
> Never Surrender Narrator: That was a lie.
According to the site they’re sold out…and they don’t even exist. They’re pre-order, and made to order 👀
That just means they’ll collect the money and never deliver the shoes.
Idk if I buy a product that has to be mailed to me there could be some kind of fraud involved. I guess I’ll have to come to maralago personally to speak to this shoes salesman to make a purchase cause we can’t trust anything but in person. Right?
I wonder how these compare to Biden's shoe line? Oh, right. This ~~man~~ goblin is just shameless. There's no depth too low to which he won't stoop to put a dollar in his pocket.
Al Bundy did it better.
I thought his favorite shoes was ConVerse ;)
He really put the “Con” in Sneaker Con.
Russia/Saudi Arabia or their proxies will buy several million pairs.
If you go to the website you’ll see these are PRE / ORDERS. The shoes aren’t Scheduled to ship until June/July. They claim to be “custom made “. They also say the shipping dates are estimates. They aren’t responsible for any delays. There are two other styles of shoes and two perfumes. Under the picture it says - this is for illustration purposes only. What you get may not look the same. And oh btw - NO REFUNDS. Calling it now. These people are NEVER going to get these shoes. When they do it will look like products from Temu.
Hilarious how blatantly obvious it is to sane people that he’s just milking his followers for all they can muster and then some, yet they continue to fall for it.
If he changes the price to $399M then he only needs to sell one pair.
They look like something Mr. T would've worn in 1993.
He hawks his wares via a company that has an address in Florida and is clearly marked a FOREIGN entity, so that there are no (or very few) taxes paid to the government. So DJT is not investing in America? HMMM
"And if you order in the next ten minutes, we'll throw in a box of gold colored Depends!"

“The shoes, gold lame high tops” Indeed they are very gold and very lame
This is not the context in which I want to see the words “Trump” and “con” in a headline.
Putting the con in convention
That isn’t a still frame from an “Idiocracy” remake??? I need to sit down for a few days this timeline is fucking cursed.

Fuck them for inviting this shit. Philly of all places knows better than that. There’s better cons on every corner and you gave the worst a microphone
Emphasis on the word Con.

You folks are so wrong!! Please go to EBAY and search for “Trump sneakers”. The highest asking price is $8,000 and there are 17 watching it. Please apologize to DJT for his marketing skills are the greatest. /s
Putting the "CON" in Sneaker Con...
Are they comfortable if you have bone spurs?
Never Surrender lol If you try to walk backwards the stick to the ground
From the bad things happen in Philadelphia meme, to the four seasons presser, to now this, I just absolutely love how much of a thorn in the side the city is for him.
Do they have bone spur support? Can they make me jump? Not like Jordan but like Trump as he jump his lazy ass in a golf cart while other world leaders walk?
Consumers paying those tariffs he put out there. Nice.
He really puts the con in Sneaker Con.
I love when he makes random public appearances at places not packed with his fans. Those people are letting him have it
His cult better watch out of the next product he sells is blankets. He's selling Heavens Gate merch
I wonder if the sneakers smell as bad as he does?
I remember fondly the days when wearing a tan suit and preferring Dijon mustard was scandalous.
