Christ alive, this grifter was the president of the united states

Except now he owes nearly half a billion in judgements against him. :-D

Grifter in Chief

takeda,

They should use this picture as his official presidential portrait.

Haven’t purchased a single Goya product since that shit. Fuck any brand that affiliates with that terrorist.

takeda,

That’s one thing, another thing is that he did it as a president in the White House. Republicans talked about Obama wearing a tan suit or doing “late salute”, was disrespectful to the office of the president.

In this instance he was outright using the office of the president to advertise a commercial product.

I don’t think there is another US president that did something equally cheap.

In fact I don’t think there is any other president that was using their office to advertise a product like that.

fluxion,

Christ alive, this grifter has a realistic chance of becoming President again.

FunderPants,

Finally, a good use for deep fakes. I need a gold Trump shoe being tossed at Jr, Stat.

Bush sucked, but I've always respected his ability to dodge a shoe.

Sidyctism,

The dudes issue was that he wasnt prepared for that matrix-dodge. Bowing down for the other shoe telegraphed his next move so obviously

Most powerful country in the world elects fraudulent shoe salesman.

Burninator05,

To be fair he wasn’t a shoe salesman the first time we elected him.

dudinax,

I’m imagining a depressing future.

Lifecoach5000,

Clownshoes. Literally 🤡

This is what they look like for anyone else wondering. They look like President Camacho would wear in Idiocracy

moistclump,

Are they meant to resemble his toilet?

JIMMERZ,

I mean President Camacho was at least smart enough to appoint Not Sure to secretary of the interior. I don’t think Trump would have the foresight to do that.

He should complete the comparison and issue a Crocs edition.

ShittyBeatlesFCPres,

I can’t wait to wear mine to church with my 24K gold WWJD bracelet, diamond-studded rosary, and t-shirt with a camel waltzing through the eye of a needle on it. Gonna look so fresh.

june,

Ok but now I want that shirt

He should sell black velvet paintings of himself as Elvis next. He’d make a fucking MINT.

Zipitydew,

I call bullshit. Sure they can say sold out. But this is the same crap as their gaming NYT best seller list with garbage books.

return2ozma,
@return2ozma@lemmy.world avatar

The limited edition gold ones are “sold out” supposedly. They only did 1,000 pairs. eBay already has them for a few thousand dollars now.

Gerudo,

This is what I hate. People just buy them to flip to the real suckers, while giving this fuck actual money.

frunch,

I’m betting none actually sold to anyone–Trump claimed they were all sold and proceeded to take all 1,000 pairs straight to eBay for that 6-8x profit per pair

Deello,

In both cases someone bought them. Real people didn’t of course but someone did in fact launder him the money buy them.

secundnature,

Have those shoes been dipped in gold!?

takeda,

Already sold out? I think the comment about investigating every buyer is justified. It feels like indeed a money laundering scheme.

Heads of states will be wearing them to meetings with trump if he wins the presidency

Every quote from Bob Dobbs seems to apply to the magats - “Act like a dumbshit and they’ll treat you like an equal” always pops to mind, but I’m not sure what tiny d is doing is an act.

Burninator05,

Three thoughts.

First, there might only be one pair of the gold ones and he’s using them as a tool to get people to the website to buy the slightly more reasonable red or white ones and cologne/perfume. At the very least the red and white look like wearable shoes. It’s weird that the gold ones on the website are clearly numbered but there isn’t a reference to how many are being made.

Second, the white and red ones both say they are just samples meaning that the ones people get will most likely be worse in every way but because they don’t ship until August no one will be able report how shitty they are until its to late to cancel.

Third, the red ones say “T-REDWAVE” on the side. Is that when a trans man still has their period because we know it doesn’t refer to sweeping Republican election victories?

kowcop,

I am sure more will be sold than manufactured

This is going to make his campaign rallies fucking fabulous. Armies of chuds wearing red hats and shiny gold shoes descending on whatever hee-haw hellscape is hosting Chudcon that week.

ctkatz,

these things are gaudy, garish, and look super cheap.

who exactly are these things for? I’m sure there are a few magat sneakerheads but not enough to bring even a niche product to market.

I do know even at $400 a pop not enough are going to move to put a dent in that almost half billion in judgements he owes in new york.

fine_sandy_bottom,

You’ve almost answered your own question.

Tip: most will be sold to international buyers.

Trump last year reported making between $100,000 and $1 million for a series of digital trading cards

Hopefully he soon launches a fashion brand I hear orange jumpsuits are in these days

Trump’s pair, American size 9.5. Bigly small.

For all of my youth I wore size 10. I wore this because my step-father wore 10.5 and there was no way I had bigger feet than him. So, for 10 years I wore shoes that were way too small for me. Now, as an adult, I wear size 12 in most brands and wouldn’t you know it, I don’t have to deal with debilitating foot pain. People are fucking weird about shoe sizes.

Ghostalmedia,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

I hear yeah, but I also know that Trump would get really pissed if people didn’t think he had big strong feet. Look at how he handles the tiny hands stuff.

You know, for a supposed billionaire, this guy sure does get into some weird grifting. You don’t see Bezos or Gates or Buffett or even Elmo doing this kind of thing…
