The man is the tackiest person in history.
Absolutely!
Read the disclaimer - it's a license deal. Trump probably has seen 1 design total and said go ahead, for 50% profit or some insane number.
Trump Sneakers are not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principals. 45Footwear, LLC uses the Trump name, image and likeness under a license agreement which may be terminated or revoked according to its terms.
You say that like it's not tacky for a former President to license their image to a shoe company.
Oh thank goodness. I thought Trump was personally designing these in a little sketchbook.
Saw the headline: "Haha, theonion really nailed this one"
What's the inverse of eating the onion?
Crying?
Boofing the shallot
Shitty Supreme Court candidates made sure I know the existence of boofing…
I don’t know, but it tastes like shit.
It’s getting SO HARD to separate reality from satire.
Eat the onion long enough, and the onion eats you back.
Poe's law.
I want off mr. bones wild ride.
Sold out
When I try to think of things that would sell out quickly, clown shoes were not on my list but here we are.
That’s $1.5M. Eternal grifting.
I love the disclaimer of “The images shown are for illustration purposes only….” Meaning the final product will probably look 1000x worse.
😂
dont tell me those are the actual shoes.
holy shit. i dont have any deference for the us-flag whatsoever, but if someone showed me these shoes and a video of somebody pissing on the flag, i would be hard-pressed to say which is less respectful of the flag
Limit 3 pairs instead of Limit 1 pair sounds odd to me. As if it's intended to be scalped.
One to wear, one to seal away in the vault, and one to resell immediately.
That explains why it took Trump so long to reach out to the deceased's family to offer his condolences, he was too busy brainstorming ways to cash out on the tragedy?! Disgusting!
And still all he came up with was the same ol' shoe scam all over again.
Should've gone with the Holy Bullet-deviating Bible, IMHO.
He will probably try to make it up to the family by giving them the extra valuable 'manufacture defect' shoes. Non-autographed, but more rare!
That sounds like too much effort in his part. I feel like it's more like Krusty the Clown, where he was shown three images, pointed to one, and everyone else did all the work as fast and cheap as possible.
Trump's grifting his own assassination attempt. Has it even been a week? What the fuck? Is he fucking broke?
Is he fucking broke?
Hasn't he been broke for years now?
morally bankrupt
Yeah. Dude leveraged buildings based off inflated value for loans to build buildings that he then leveraged to build....
Hardly any of his "worth" actually belongs to him.
On top of being tacky, insensitive, and greedy, this is also going to reinforce all the people who believe the assassination attempt was staged.
At this point, if we use the age-old question of "who would benefit from the crime?", we'll get very weird results.
The whole world
Absolutely thought this was the onion.
I thought I ate the onion...
Everyone: Trump's gonna use this assassination attempt to sway voters!
Trump: buy my limited edition assassination sneakers!
Apparently they massage your little bone spurs
Probably won't make a killing
Home shopping network for supply side Jesus fans. Damn, every time I think it can’t get dumber.
ok. ok. surely they could not sink lower (makes sense from my recent chat history)
