      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.

        Oh thank goodness. I thought Trump was personally designing these in a little sketchbook.

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

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

          The suggestion being that the article is a lie?

          Or that we’re living in a really fucked up matrix-like experiment?

          I wonder if the AI’s in the matrix knew that they weren’t real?

                I’ve gotta deal with these talking faces about as much as I gotta deal with anime girls. At least anime girls are something pleasant to keep me occupied.

              I’m confused……. The shoes aren’t real?

              Or the assassination attempt wasn’t?

      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.

      Limit 3 pairs instead of Limit 1 pair sounds odd to me. As if it’s intended to be scalped.

    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.
