Trump Doesn't Have The Sneakers That He Is Selling

Former President Trump is hawking Trump sneakers, but the fine print on the website says Trump doesn’t actually have the shoes.

Here is the fine print: Trump’s shoes aren’t shipping until July or August of 2024, so he got booed at Sneaker Con and didn’t even have the shoes. Imagine if you went to buy a new pair of shoes, and when you picked out the pair you wanted, the store said that will be $400, but we don’t have your shoes, but we promise we’ll send them to you later after they are ordered.



That is what Trump is doing. The shoes aren’t out of stock or backordered. There is no stock. Trump is taking orders for a product that, given his history, he may never deliver.

Anyone who buys or walks around in a pair of Trump shoes is outing themselves as a potential fascist with a lot of issues, but the people buying these might be even more gullible than the MAGAs who are donating to a GoFundMe to pay the $355 million fraud judgment against Trump. Never ever take anything Trump says or does at face value. He may have shown up in Philadelphia with a pair of shoes, but that doesn’t mean that he actually has the shoes.

3. And Much Like The Fine Print When He Was Selling Scraps Of His Suit......

...........remember THAT fine print said that even if you paid the money, you may not actually get your scrap. This will probably be like that. Just another scheme to separate fools from their money.

2. That's Exactly What I Said When My Wife Read Me The Fine Print

I said, "They won't ship until July 2024 because they aren't made yet. He's waiting to see how many orders he gets before he has his Chinese manufacturers start making them."

I'm also predicting that these will be exactly like all those right-wing books that hit the best sellers lists immediately, in that some big mega-donor will buy them in bulk so it will LOOK like they're selling really well, but he'll be giving them away for free at rallies before summer is over.

5. So you can't "walk a mile in Trump's shoes"----

until July or August......


Well, the Confederate Army was often without adequate shoe-ware---

so it is poetic justice that the neo-confederate army should be likewise lacking for a couple of seasons....
(even if they have paid for it)


---except this isn't the 1860s anymore. Pretty goddamned pathetic
for one of "the Greatest Businesses EVER"!

7. He'll never deliver the shoes.

He’ll take the money, never come through, and if anyone complains he’ll blow them off or call them names.

And his supporters will take his side. Because they are just that brainwashed.

13. I would be curious to know how comfortable they are.

I’m willing to bet they feel like walking barefoot on cement. And fall apart in the rain. Flashy but with no substance at all. Just like him.

That is a quick $400,000 although we don't know his cut. Easy way for rich donor to give him cash without breaking the law.

19. Curb Your Enthusiasm

In a prior Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, Larry David would wear a MAGA hat to get out of some social obligations in LA.

Donald Trump did not get the satire and praised the episode.
