Good thing he launched a sneaker line today, that'll really turn things around.
Oh that's real! I thought it was an AI image or something.
That's fair, everything about the story seems AI generated.

I love that it was announced at Sneaker Con. The writers for our reality are just messing with us now.
Ah fuck. That's the kicker. I was always off the opinion that we lived in a simulation. Now, I'm thinking we're living in a reality written by AI inside a simulation.

Strange you call that a storm. That's a press release for marketing purposes. The media are falling into the same trap as before. Clicks for them equals incomez so all the crazy and stupid stuff trump does that can be monitored, is.
Anyone remember press conferences from trump hotels? Not to mention events, conferences, NFTs etc. It's all a con and we and they need to stop giving it air.
The line, called Trump Sneakers
...
The high tops, which are gold and emblazoned with a "T" on the outside of each shoe, are called the "Never Surrender High Top Sneaker" and are priced at $399 online. The athletic shoes, which feature a "T" and the number 45 on the sides are priced at $199.
This man (and whoever he works with) does not have an ounce of creativity in his entire body.
"Never Surrender "
Wasn't that Desantis's tag line before he...well.. surrendered?
It was also Trump's tagline sold on T-shirts under the mugshot shot picture that was taken when he surrendered to the police.
These dumbfucks are wearing shirts that commemorate his literal surrender, bearing the slogan "never surrender". They are fucking stupid, in other words.
For the dumbasses that are going to buy and wear these to virtue signal to other dumbasses, no creativity is needed. These are the people that think it's a real knee-slapper to wear "Let's Go Brandon" gear (or "Fuck Your Feelings" or "Trump that Bitch" or....).
If they are spending lots of money to "own the libs" - which really means signal to all family and friends, as well as strangers to stay TF away from them - they are going to spend it on any form of obvious dreck like this.
Fuck me, one of my daughters was randomly assigned #45 for club volleyball this season. Didn't even think about it but now I feel dirty.
Really awkward that Jordan's second number was 45
Be pretty funny if Nike held a trademark for sneakers with a 45 on them for that reason…
I read your comment as "45 on them for that treason". Still works.
Jfc, I’m so tired of this shit.
Jesus Christ on a cracker...I'm going to laugh my ass off at the first moron wearing these
I'm going to feel sorry for the parents that force their children to wear these

I thought this was a joke, but nope, the man continues his scams: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-launches-sneaker-line-rcna139334
What do you even say, at this point. Holy hell.
Wow. I just-

“So I went to the Saudis - lovely people by the way with the best camels, just amazing - and I said hey, I’ve got this problem with a judge and I need half a billion. And they said ‘Donald, don’t worry about it, we got you’ and that’s how I got rid of those crooked Democrats and their election interference case”
We are about to witness either;
- An epic fire sale of Trump world assets to cover this judgment bill
- Donald trying to weasel out of this, as long as the courts allow
- The biggest foreign influence operation this country has ever seen
My bet is on the latter 2 at the same time
My bet is Voronizh budget will be cut in half. Also Trump will get donation of half the Voronezh's budget.
He’s not gonna pay shit and we’re well on our way to forgetting about it. As soon as the papers stop asking the judge will lower the sentence or some shit. The courts are for us, not for them.
Its really not my problem.
If you're not a US citizen, then I guess it's not your direct (financial) problem.
Otherwise, I think the point of the article is that, if re-elected, he's going to grift even harder than the first time by funneling even more taxpayer money into his businesses.
Throughout his presidency, he refused to divest from his businesses, which made millions of dollars in revenue from taxpayers and continued to do work with other countries while he was in office — a practice he indicated he would repeat in a second term
If re-elected we've all of a sudden got so many more problems, his grift falls way down the list. I'm would be more concerned about ever having an election again if Trump gets back into power than I am if he self-enriches while in office.
Him being further in debt, real debt that he actually has to put up money to deal with is absolutely fantastic. It puts him in a weaker, less flexible position for bullshit going into he election. His corruption will be on full display as he robs Peter to pay Paul.
This article is a bit of a gaslight. Its really not our problem. Him being elected again is a much bigger problem. Him having to pay up on these debts makes that harder.
He was trying to get a Trump Tower in Moscow and pretty much bowing down to Putin and trying to break up NATO to help Russia. He'll do anything for money, it's a big problem
Seriously! If I’m broke and owe people money is Trump gonna come and help me out? If not, that fucker can lie in the bed he’s made. If he can’t afford to pay, garnish his wages. At the end of the day, Trump is a regular citizen. Whether he accepts it or not is irrelevant to the facts. He might be rich (or once was) and is used to the silver spoon lifestyle, but why should that matter to me? The closest I’ll get to “silver spoon” is stainless steel. The closest this dude should get to compassion is the warm embrace of a guillotine.

I really don't care, do u?
No, I really do honestly. He needs to be out, gone, out of the media's eye. He'll just bleed some more off his upper middle class and his lower lower class. If he does manage to make it back in He's going to owe a whole bunch of people a whole bunch of favors and most of what they want from him are going to qualify as human rights violations.
That was a Melania Trump quote from a coat she wore, and yeah, I very much do care.
We really think he wouldn't have sold out the country before this? This is basically an argument that we shouldn't hold Trump accountable because he might do something rash or lash out. Fuck that and fuck him. He shouldn't get special treatment. Throw the book at him.

The funniest thing is that he could have replenished his coffers on Inauguration Day with one phone call to the Saudi embassy.
"Hey, here's the deal. $20 billion in my account by tomorrow night, or I call for the Green New Deal AND accuse you guys of being part of 9/11."
Even Fredo Corleone could have handled that.

I note that Musk was in West Palm yesterday.
I wish all of tiny d's problems were just his. He should be headed to prison and his dumb ass given zero platform.
His supporters will give him any money he needs.
Donald Trump has doubled down on his threat to undermine Nato, saying "we're not going to protect" allied countries he believes do not pay enough to maintain the alliance if he returns to the White House next year.
Meanwhile, this f**king deadbeat gets Secret Service protection for life, funded by U.S. taxpayers.
Sure would save us some money if we'd throw the crook in jail. I know he'd still have SS there, but I'd imagine it would be way cheaper.
Factoring in the number of people who claim they'll piss on his grave, they might need SS there, too.
That's nothing. In Malaysia the former pm claimed the house of Saud donated several hundred million to his campaign coffers just before our 14th general election. Maybe denigrating anyone not christian or white was not a good idea.
