Trump-owned firm selling sneakers with image of his bloodied face
A company is now selling $299 sneakers showing an image of Donald Trump with streaks of blood on his cheek and pumping his fist in the air after he was the target of an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

The white high tops are being sold as “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT High-Tops” for $299 on a website that sells Trump-branded shoes that is run by CIC Ventures LLC, a company Trump reported owning in his 2023 financial disclosure. The company says the new shoes are limited edition with only 5,000 pairs available and estimated to ship in September or October. It also said 10 pairs will be randomly autographed.

“These limited edition high-tops, featuring Trump’s iconic image with his fist raised, honor his unwavering determination and bravery,” it says. “With only 5,000 pairs available, each one is a true collector’s item. Show your support and patriotic pride with these exclusive sneakers, capturing a defining moment in history.”

CIC Ventures is the same company that debuted “Never Surrender High-Tops,” shiny gold sneakers with an American flag detail on the back, for $399.

5. Donald, how about a sneaker with you, Ivanka, and Stormy?

If there was a buck in it for him...

[iluvtennis]

6. All for the love of money. No morals whatsoever.

7. "Trump's iconic image with his fist raised"?

There is nothing "iconic" about this creep. He is a brazen opportunist and the image is hardly inspiring.

8. Good Grief! It's like the circus has come to

Town. There are clowns everywhere.

I can just imagine: Boss, I got a great idea how we can unload all those ugly shoes....

Maybe they're down to the discount bin by now.

15. Actually, I figure none got made until each was ordered and the checks cleared

No point spending on inventory of something that probably won't sell. Ditto the new shoes with Trump's damaged ear photo; they won't be delivered to buyers until September or October. I guess that is when they may, or may not, start the presses on stamping TCF on the shoes.

12. How low can you go?

14. From Air Jordans to Gutter Trumps.

17. Just wait until you see what little pieces of his used bandages go for. LOL.
