A feature of having no scruples, no shame and no class when in a position of cult power, is that this type of sociopath can keep milking the gullible for a shot of fresh cash, on a regular basis.
The funniest part is that he is the literal golden calf the Bible warned about. Every stupid idea he has had prior has culminated into this ugly, golden shoe.
A ‘limited’ 1000x run for a 399$ shoe is a bit short of the 500m that he needs to come up with. It’s like Eric found out that he can get rebranded dropshit on aliexpress
What's truly sad about this is that the same people who would buy golden sneakers from Trump will have already lost one or both of their feets to the diabeesus.
These are going to sell out regardless of if anyone buys them. This is just a way rich people launder money.
Sell something that costs a minimal amount to make for an outrageous price. They don’t have to worry about whether or not a consumer would buy it because the object is trivial. It’s about legally passing money from one place to another in a way that looks like business.
The same thing happens when you see obvious trash make it onto a ‘best seller’ list.
Is this still an almost exclusively republican graft or are there now also democrats who have started doing the same thing?
Edit: since this question is apparently gathering downvotes without an answer, an explanation for why I posed this question:
As far as I know this is not a "both sides" problem, but it's something that is being systematically done by republican politicians, not by democrat politicians. Framing it as something that is done by "politicians" paints all politicians as equally bad and deplorable, but that is simply not the case for this practice.
Now I do not consume all possible media all the time, so it's possible that I am out of the loop in this instance and this practice is now also being done by democrats, which is why I asked the question.
Yeah, it's a "both sides" argument, while it actually isn't both sides. The comment is trying to paint politicians from both sides as equally bad, while I have only read articles about republicans doing this. And they've been at it for years, it must have been 2019 or 2020 when I first read about the book thing.
But moral standards for democrats are slipping as well, which is why I wanted to give that poster the benefit of the doubt and I was hoping that someone could provide a source showing that (some) democrats too are now guilty of this.
personally, i find the one with artwork more subtle, where they have some artist draw some low effort crap, then sell it for millions to cover up what the money was actually for.
Trump is a stinky shoe. It won't smell any better no matter how many times you sniff it. Just gotta put the shoe down and walk away. #Trump's true enemy is apathy.
I’m pretty sure this will be in a movie sometime soon. Some douchebag will
be rocking these and be the most unforgivably shitty person in the plot arc.
