Desperate for new sources of cash to help him pay the massive court-imposed fines against him for defamation and fraud, failed one-term former president Donald Trump has now launched his own line of sneakers that he’s trying to sell to his gullible minions for $399 a pair.
CNN reports Trump began hawking the tennis shoes at an event in Philadelphia on Saturday.
The former president unveiled “Trump Sneakers” at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia. He placed a pair of gold sneakers, which a new website has listed for $399 and named the “NEVER SURRENDER HIGH-TOP SNEAKER,” on the podium as he spoke.
“This is something I’ve been talking about for 12 years, 13 years, and I think it’s going to be a big success,” said Trump, who is marching closer toward the 2024 Republican nomination and a potential rematch with President Joe Biden.
If you listen to the audio on that clip, you can’t help but hear the sound of loud booing in response to what Trump is saying. Some who were in attendance even reported that the disgraced ex-president was “booed off the stage.”
In response to the boos, Trump remarked, “A lot of emotion. There’s a lot of emotion in this room. Thank you. The nice thing is… we have lines… I want to thank Chase and I want to thank Allen. But we have lines going all around the block.”
It didn’t take long before social media was alight with mockery.
