    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    GetTrumpSneakers.com, a website owned by Donald Trump, is the go-to retailer to secure a pair of high-top sneakers printed with an image from the recent assassination attempt against the former president.

    The white sneaker features a five-star American flag on the upper portion of the shoe, just above the photo of Trump holding his fist up after being shot in the ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last weekend.

    If that wasn’t enough, the site is incentivizing supporters to purchase the unsightly footwear with a bonus offer: 10 pairs will be randomly autographed by Trump.

    Sizes 5 through 8 are still listed online, with all pairs expected to ship in September or October with each being made to order.

    “Show your support and patriotic pride with these exclusive sneakers, capturing a defining moment in history,” a description on the website reads, claiming that the shoes “honor his unwavering determination and bravery.” The shooting left Trump bleeding, but otherwise stable.

    Those shoes were announced at Sneaker Con Philadelphia the day after he was ordered to pay $454 million in fines for years of bank fraud in New York — and a few weeks after he was hit with a $83.3 million ruling in a rape defamation case.

      Sizes 5 through 8 are still listed online, with all pairs expected to ship in September or October with each being made to order.

      If they’re being made to order why are they only available in small…? Average men’s shoe size in the US is 10.5.

      Not the weirdest part of this article for sure, but still.

        “September or October” seems far enough away that anyone dumb enough to order these will have forgotten by then anyway.

          If I were running this scam, I’d wait a month then push that to December (blame Biden, ofc). Then when Trump loses in November I’d just keep the money and make excuses. Nobody is going to push tooooo hard to get their loser sneakers.

          If he actually manages to win, I’d probably have to make the stupid sneakers or get thrown in a removed Camp. Though I’m probably getting thrown in one of those anyway…
