Class Act, eh?
Ex-President hawking sneakers on his misfortune….
A website owned by Donald Trump, is the go-to retailer to secure a pair of high-top sneakers printed with an image from the recent assassination attempt against the former president, Rolling Stone reports.
The limited-edition 5,000-quantity run are going for $299 and have already sold out in a number of sizes.
CG says
How is this not being marketed as “Let Me Get My Shoes”?
CG says
In fairness, neither he nor his campaign are associated with this.
CG says
According to the website, there is a licensing agreement with the company, which i assume relates to his name and likeness, but it seems inaccurate, as Rolling Stone is claiming, to say he owns the website.
jamesb says
But the ex-president is sure to making money off the sneakers…..
Like the Gold ones
Maybe I shouldn’t go back to sneaker posts, He, he
CG says
That is unclear whether he would make money off of this. It would not be for the campaign.
But how in the world is this not being marketed to his supporters as “Let Me Get My Shoes?:” That’s just business malpractice.
Scott P says
Ratings for the RNC are down 5 million viewers from 2016.
With all the media fawning over Trump you’d think they’d be up.
jamesb says
He had it locked up Jan 21, 2021
CG says
I would just think with each passing year, more and more people consume media in different ways. Probably a lot more people watching on phones or tablets or online or whatever as compared to eight years ago, without being reflected in traditional tv ratings and will be the same situation next month. Also, people don’t usually watch until the last night.
jamesb says
Agreed CG……
Usually things get interesting to voters after the summer….
That was when Hillary lost it
Scott P says
Or there could be Trump fatigue. I don’t see nearly as many Trump flags or signs in heavily red areas I travel as I did a few years ago and I’ve yet to hear of a Trump boat parade this year. They were all the rage in 2020.
Granted I haven’t seen as many Biden signs or bumperstickers as 2020.
Probably points to a low turnout election if the tickers stand as they are.
In previous years that would have benefited Republicans but post Roe Democrats have been turning out at every chance they get.
CG says
About two hours after the attempt on Saturday, I was surprised to see a suburban house of people I did not know the political leanings of, literally standing outside waving Trump flags on their front lawn.
CG says
I definitely agree that Americans as a whole hate this election and are very unhappy about the two choices. That could lead to lower convention ratings and possibly lower voter turnout.
Scott P says
If they are you rshould have introduced yourself. Have a friendly comversation. Then explain to them that you are a conservative and that Trump is not the way.
I mean you DO want Trump to lose right?
Scott P says
First sentence should read
*If they are your neighbors you should have introduced yourself*
CG says
I was driving by and am not about to engage with people waving MAGA flags. I assume they were somehow celebrating that he evaded death that day. I would not think it would appropriate to try to counter people on that.
Over the past 9 years, I have made many conversations, both online and in real life with people on the right about how horrible I think Trump is.
Scott P says
Yeah considering what became of the party you dedicated most of your adult life to maybe your persuasion skills aren’t that great.
CG says
Yeah, it’s all my fault. I’m the reason Jeb lost.
jamesb says
And CG?
The word IS a Lot of GOPer’s do NOT ‘like’’ Trump personally…..
But he’s the ‘Man’
Remember…..
A lot of Republicans would vote for Mickey Mouse if he was a Republican…
They just don’t like Democrats
jamesb says
Scott?
Trump got shot….
No carrying on in the streets…….
Trump got convicted
No carrying on in the streets
Them days appear to be OVER…..
Jan. 6 knuckleheads over 1,000 arrested
