As hard as it may be to believe, the Associated Press reported that people can now buy $299 sneakers with an image of donald trump with his fist in the air after Saturday’s attempted murder.
As part of the proposal – which I’m not making up – potential buyers were told: “This limited edition high-top sneaker, featuring the iconic image of Trump with his fist raised, honors his unwavering determination and bravery. With only 5,000 pairs available, each one is a true collector’s item. Show your support and patriotic pride with these unique sneakers, capturing a defining moment in history.”
These are not to be confused with the Trump-related $399 gold high-top sneakers, which are also sold by the same Trump-owned company as the Republican nominee’s campaign workers. promoted online.
In fact, for consumers who especially like the former president, there is a seemingly endless stream of other products to choose from.
To remember “the only endorsed Bible“For Trump? And the “official Donald Trump Digital trading card collection”? All of this comes in the wake of the steaks It is the board game?
How about Trump selling pieces of the suit he wore while getting his mugshot taken after one of his criminal charges? On a related note, after the Republican was exposed in Atlanta, his political operation began selling campaign swag related to mugshots — including, but not limited to, mugs, hoodies and drink coolers.
Presumably someone could wear the hoodie from the mugshot while also wearing “Victory 47.” cologne and perfume – available for just $99.
I remembered a recent Washington Post analysis with a great headline: “Trump used to sell the perception of opulence. Now he just sells Trump.”
This was true when the article was published in February. As the shoes with an image related to his assassination attempt help prove, the situation seems much worse now.
