41 0 ReplyOh thank goodness. I thought Trump was personally designing these in a little sketchbook.

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.

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.

When I try to think of things that would sell out quickly, clown shoes were not on my list but here we are.
30 0 Replydont 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
12 0 ReplyLimit 3 pairs instead of Limit 1 pair sounds odd to me. As if it's intended to be scalped.

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!
44 0 ReplyAnd still all he came up with was the same ol' shoe scam all over again.
6 0 ReplyShould'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!
5 0 ReplyThat 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?
41 0 ReplyIs he fucking broke?
Hasn't he been broke for years now?
21 0 Replymorally bankrupt
15 0 ReplyYeah. 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.
35 1 ReplyAt this point, if we use the age-old question of "who would benefit from the crime?", we'll get very weird results.
