I hope every customer is looked into. All of his side projects smell like money laundering operations to me.
Like the $99 NFTs that you could only buy 100 of, conveniently falling just short of the IRS reporting threshold?
"Well, Judge, I purchased each pair at such a high price because my client, Mr. Ivan Oligarchsky, believed them to actually be solid gold and has no desire to return them."
"What's that? Oh, yes, the same is true of Sam Saudi, the other party I represented. He is also satisfied and would just like this whole thing to go away."
"As to my own culpability in assisting this alleged, ALLEGED, skirting of political fundraising guidelines (we don't like the term 'laws') I was acting as a broker for the rightful President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, so I declare immunity."
"Yes, I have seen The Office, why do you ask?"
"Mostly livestock law, you know 'was it coyotes or the damn Hendersons', but I have done some real estate for family. It's a small town. Very conservative. Not much call for lawyering."
I'm kind of naive and gullible. I'm a little embarrassed I hadn't considered this perspective. It seems so obvious now that you point it out for us.
The best use for them:
Finally, a good use for deep fakes. I need a gold Trump shoe being tossed at Jr, Stat.
Bush sucked, but I've always respected his ability to dodge a shoe.

Christ alive, this grifter was the president of the united states
Christ alive, this grifter has a realistic chance of becoming President again.
he still is... everyone else are just robot clones while he drains the swamp in the background /s
Grifter in Chief
They should use this picture as his official presidential portrait.
Haven't purchased a single Goya product since that shit. Fuck any brand that affiliates with that terrorist.
This is what they look like for anyone else wondering. They look like President Camacho would wear in Idiocracy
I mean President Camacho was at least smart enough to appoint Not Sure to secretary of the interior. I don’t think Trump would have the foresight to do that.
May as well have a neon sign flashing "Im a mark!"
Are they meant to resemble his toilet?
You know, for a supposed billionaire, this guy sure does get into some weird grifting. You don't see Bezos or Gates or Buffett or even Elmo doing this kind of thing...
Sneakers made by CIC Ventures and those NFTs were made by CIC Digital... He just can't get over that he's no longer Commander In Chief.
The signs reading "SNEAKERHEADS LOVE TRUMP" really just comfirms my opinion of most sneakerheads.
The sole is way too thin and there’s virtually no padding on the upper ankle. Also, you’ll have to lace them up the whole way every time like blazers, I’d imagine – just judging by the profile.
I dont know what he’s going on about. Those shoes are about as thinly made and unsupportive as his source material.
I hear they give you bonespurs.
What makes me chuckle about sneakerheads is I bet many of them look down their noses at people that collect(ed) beanie babies. I've got some bad news for them...
I can’t wait to wear mine to church with my 24K gold WWJD bracelet, diamond-studded rosary, and t-shirt with a camel waltzing through the eye of a needle on it. Gonna look so fresh.
This is going to make his campaign rallies fucking fabulous. Armies of chuds wearing red hats and shiny gold shoes descending on whatever hee-haw hellscape is hosting Chudcon that week.
Hopefully he soon launches a fashion brand I hear orange jumpsuits are in these days
Trump last year reported making between $100,000 and $1 million for a series of digital trading cards
nfts?
yep. aka a plausible way to jam Russian money into his pockets in return for future favors without leaving an obvious trail
It looks like the shoes Al Bundy invented
No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.

Dumbass could have just sold one shoe for $355 million
Nah fam. Shoes for $1 each. Laces are $180M each.
And this isn’t an onion article?
Trump’s pair, American size 9.5. Bigly small.
For all of my youth I wore size 10. I wore this because my step-father wore 10.5 and there was no way I had bigger feet than him. So, for 10 years I wore shoes that were way too small for me. Now, as an adult, I wear size 12 in most brands and wouldn't you know it, I don't have to deal with debilitating foot pain. People are fucking weird about shoe sizes.
Lol he didn't have the balls to charge $500. Even MechWarrior Online did that, they sold $500 gold mechs in a free to play game.
I am sure more will be sold than manufactured
He'll only need to sell 1.25 million of them.
