On top of being tacky, insensitive, and greedy, this is also going to reinforce all the people who believe the assassination attempt was staged.

Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

At this point, if we use the age-old question of "who would benefit from the crime?", we'll get very weird results.
The whole world
Everyone: Trump's gonna use this assassination attempt to sway voters!
Trump: buy my limited edition assassination sneakers!
I thought I ate the onion...
Home shopping network for supply side Jesus fans. Damn, every time I think it can’t get dumber.
Trump's grifting his own assassination attempt. Has it even been a week? What the fuck? Is he fucking broke?
Yeah. Dude leveraged buildings based off inflated value for loans to build buildings that he then leveraged to build....
Hardly any of his "worth" actually belongs to him.
Is he fucking broke?
Hasn't he been broke for years now?
morally bankrupt
Sold out
Limit 3 pairs instead of Limit 1 pair sounds odd to me. As if it's intended to be scalped.
One to wear, one to seal away in the vault, and one to resell immediately.
dont tell me those are the actual shoes.
holy shit. i dont have any deference for the us-flag whatsoever, but if someone showed me these shoes and a video of somebody pissing on the flag, i would be hard-pressed to say which is less respectful of the flag
Yeah they’re out of the shoes, too.
😂
When I try to think of things that would sell out quickly, clown shoes were not on my list but here we are.
That’s $1.5M. Eternal grifting.
I love the disclaimer of “The images shown are for illustration purposes only….” Meaning the final product will probably look 1000x worse.
