I was about to say, I had just read two Onion articles in the last ten minutes, and thought The Onion was hitting it hard today. Then I saw what community this was in and despaired.
Of course. When you have literally millions of suckers in your cult begging for reasons to throw their money at you, you milk it for all its worth. This isn't geared towards the normal people who know how tacky this shit is. This is geared towards the ones that are so far to the right and have his dick shoved so far down their throat that they're flossing their teeth with his pubes.
That, and the MTGs of Congress who will buy these just to kiss Trump's ass "show their solidarity with the President". 5,000 pairs of overprices sneakers isn't tough to move when there are enough people who will buy them for the sole purpose of sucking up to him. Whether or not you've bought any of his products will likely be a test of loyalty in the near future, if it isn't already.
GetTrumpSneakers.com, a website owned by Donald Trump, is the go-to retailer to secure a pair of high-top sneakers printed with an image from the recent assassination attempt against the former president.
The white sneaker features a five-star American flag on the upper portion of the shoe, just above the photo of Trump holding his fist up after being shot in the ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last weekend.
If that wasn’t enough, the site is incentivizing supporters to purchase the unsightly footwear with a bonus offer: 10 pairs will be randomly autographed by Trump.
Sizes 5 through 8 are still listed online, with all pairs expected to ship in September or October with each being made to order.
“Show your support and patriotic pride with these exclusive sneakers, capturing a defining moment in history,” a description on the website reads, claiming that the shoes “honor his unwavering determination and bravery.” The shooting left Trump bleeding, but otherwise stable.
Those shoes were announced at Sneaker Con Philadelphia the day after he was ordered to pay $454 million in fines for years of bank fraud in New York — and a few weeks after he was hit with a $83.3 million ruling in a rape defamation case.
