Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, February 17, 2024

Former U.S. President Donald Trump advertised a golden colored sneaker for $399, just a day after being ordered to pay more than $300 million in fines in a fraud trial that also banned Trump from running a business in New York for three years.

Trump wine
Trump water
Trump Airlines
Trump presidency
Trump hotels and casinos
Trump marriages
Trump Digital World Acquisitions

Maybe, instead of Trump, Inc, the name should be, ~Scams R Us?~

Just a suggestion, nothing more.

Today, when he wasn't hawking sneakers, he was telling his other Big Lie about the only reason he was prosecuted for fraud is that he is running for President.

And he should be President... of the Pathological Liars Club.

Has become? Or is showing what he is?

OK, I understand that you are not in the NYC media area.

But for me (who does reside in that NYC media area), who has been subject to [citizen] Trump going back to the late 80's and 90's ...

This is not something new, or surprising.

My main question is... how many people will fall for this apparent money grab? Even after the former money grabs have been exposed and litigated to the probable dismay to fmr Pres Trump?

I've been quite aware of Lewzer from back in his days photobombing celebrities at Studio 54 as if he was one of them.

He's turning into a cartoon. He's the best presidential candidate Republicans can come up with and he's on the campaign trail selling ------- gold running shoes? Seriously?

I look forward to Jonathan Leibowitz's take on this.

Sneakers are a loss unless somebody important in the sports world hawks them. Which means that this new scheme is just a tax writeoff.

Strange that Trump didn't try to market his own brand of golf shoes. He owns so many golf courses that nobody would dare show up on the greens without them. He coulda made some money with that idea.

Yeah, with this current endeavor, fmr Pres Trump appears to be trying to play upon (exploit?) his devoted followers (a.k.a., members of his cult) to send money to him.

In my view, nothing more, nothing less.

He could have. He would have thought of that if he didn't suck at running a business.

Does he have any big name basketball players in his cult to endorse these golden horrors? I'd assume Rodman would be all in, but he's kind of a cartoon himself.

He was awfully cartoonish in the 80's.

He was POTUS, so there's that. And he's the best Republicans have got to try it again. Biggest circus there is.

None that he'd have to pay.

Maybe Melania could put on a pair and strut her stuff. She's on retainer.

I'm sure DR regulars would gladly build a $399 pot to see El Largo Grandioso model a pair of these elaborated flip-flop flops.

My guess is they are cheap ass flip flops that some lackey spray painted with gold paint.

Or maybe Trump could model them himself.

Naw! Forget I said that.

You know what "they" say about small hands and feet.

They'd have to start a line of shoes for children.

Worse than that. He needs the new Comptroller approval to buy a roll of tic tacs with Trump Org money.

I wonder how long before Trump, who has a pathologic need to "control," starts to go bonkers under these restrictions.

He'll be plotting ways to rob a piggy bank somewhere.

Those letters dunning suckers for money may bring in $thousands$. But what good is than when he needs $millions$.

My guess is Kushner will have to pull some strings in Saudi Arabia to buy a couple or three of Trump's properties. I think the suckup to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has already begun. Kushner has less than 30 days to pull it off.

FTA: The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery.

Ever notice how MAGAs are so happy to disrespect the flag, yet they came unglued with Kapernick and Rapinoe.
