The Malignant Loser (a.k.a., Don the Con) was in Philadelphia yesterday at the aptly named "Sneaker Con" hawking a new line of suckerwear for anyone wishing to brand themselves as a "Loser, Bigly":
Donald Trump started selling sneakers just one day after he had to pay a massive fine for financial fraud. The former U.S. President showed off his new shoes at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia.
Trump, who just got fined $350 million, told everyone at the sneaker convention: "I've wanted to do this for a long time. I have some incredible people that work with me on things and they came up with this...and I think it's gonna be a big success.
"We're going to turn this country around fast. We're going to turn it around. And we're going to remember the young people, and we're going to remember Sneaker Con." [Ed.: once again, he's sneaky and he's a con artist, so...]
Now for the risible, Orwellian marketing pitches:
There a multiple pairs of sneakers in Trump's new collection. The pièce de résistance of the collection is The Never Surrender High-Tops, with a limited edition 1000 run.
The gold shoes, $399, feature an American flag motif. The website says: "They're for the go-getters who don't know the word quit." [Ed.: except when they surrender at the courthouse]
These are sadly sold out. [Ed.: sorry, people with taste and a brain!] But, for disappointed shoppers, there is the T - Red Wave, $199. The website says: "These aren't just sneakers; they're a bold statement for those who ride the tide of change with courage and conviction." [Ed.: he's had his convictions, all right -- sexual abuse, defamation, fraud, and more to come!]
A more subtle white and gold pair, featuring a US flag and a gold "T", the POTUS 45 sneakers are "a power play for your feet." [Ed.: must- wear for the next insurrection at the Capitol!]
He'll have to sell an awful lot of these clunkers to pay off the $83.3 million he owes E. Jean Carroll and the $453 million and counting that he owes New York State.
The Malignant Loser's minions are cagey about where the suckerwear is made, but we'd be willing to bet it isn't the US of A.
Incidentally, this is how he was greeted:

Well, you can fool some of the people some of the time... (Also, "nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people"; also, "there's a sucker born every minute.")
