        Christ on a bike. Every time I think he can’t get any more tacky he just doubles down. “Hold my hamberder”.

        Already sold out? I think the comment about investigating every buyer is justified. It feels like indeed a money laundering scheme.

        I call bullshit. Sure they can say sold out. But this is the same crap as their gaming NYT best seller list with garbage books.

          In both cases someone bought them. Real people didn’t of course but someone did in fact launder him the money buy them.

          The limited edition gold ones are “sold out” supposedly. They only did 1,000 pairs. eBay already has them for a few thousand dollars now.

            I’m betting none actually sold to anyone–Trump claimed they were all sold and proceeded to take all 1,000 pairs straight to eBay for that 6-8x profit per pair

            This is what I hate. People just buy them to flip to the real suckers, while giving this fuck actual money.

        Three thoughts.

        First, there might only be one pair of the gold ones and he’s using them as a tool to get people to the website to buy the slightly more reasonable red or white ones and cologne/perfume. At the very least the red and white look like wearable shoes. It’s weird that the gold ones on the website are clearly numbered but there isn’t a reference to how many are being made.

        Second, the white and red ones both say they are just samples meaning that the ones people get will most likely be worse in every way but because they don’t ship until August no one will be able report how shitty they are until its to late to cancel.

        Third, the red ones say “T-REDWAVE” on the side. Is that when a trans man still has their period because we know it doesn’t refer to sweeping Republican election victories?

        Every quote from Bob Dobbs seems to apply to the magats - “Act like a dumbshit and they’ll treat you like an equal” always pops to mind, but I’m not sure what tiny d is doing is an act.
