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.

You say that like it’s not tacky for a former President to license their image to a shoe company.

It’s not tacky for NBA players, football players, etc. It isn’t tacky to get a Che Guevara shirt. So why is it tacky now? Because you don’t like the person?

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?

I don’t know, but it tastes like shit.

It’s getting SO HARD to separate reality from satire.

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.

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.

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.
