A Con Sneaks into Sneaker Con

Trumps Gold sneakers and Top Hat on Lincoln

High tops or top hats. It’s your choice for Presidents Day.

In the “Can you top this department for Chutzpah,” the former Executive Chief and grifter extraordinaire Donald Trump offered up a line of iconic presidential footwear wear just in time for President’s weekend.

A holiday long associated with Abraham Lincoln’s classic stovepipe hat and George Washington’s powdered wigs can now be joined by garish, metallic gold high-top sneakers under the merchandising line “Never Surrender.”

But folks you are out of luck -the gold shoes sold out hours after their launch, but red and white models of the “Never Surrender” Presidential kicks are still available.

When it comes to taste and behaving presidential, Trump never surrenders.

Cons Gotta Con

At Philly’s Sneaker Con event, Trump launches his new sneaker line $400 “ Never Surrender” sneakers. Think of it this way, Don the Con only has to sell 1,250,000 pairs to cover the half a billion he just lost in New York.

On Saturday, former President Trump unveiled his latest grift $400 official “Never Surrender” sneakers at Philly’s Sneaker Con.

In the great American tradition of capitalism, you can choose between the more expensive shoe a tasteful gold-colored high-top with the letter “T” on the side panel, starting at $399, or 2 other less expensive pairs in a mid-top level that come in 2 colors.

The laceless shoes will be available in red and white colors and will cost $199.

As usual, the conman made his entrance to the Sneaker Con to the sound of “God Bless The U.S.A.” but this time he carried with him a pair of metallic gold sneakers and placed them on the podium. While many booed and chanted at him, others attempted to drown them out with anti-Joe Biden and USA chants.

Honest Don

Trump said some people were crying, and pointed out a screaming, crying woman in the crowd who he insisted be brought up to the stage.

Trump kissed the woman on the cheek as she exclaimed:

“We love you so much!” and “I need you, Trump! I just need you, Trump! Yes, we need him! He’s a Christian, he’s a good man!” she yelled through tears into the microphone.

He’s an honest man! They’re after him for no reason! Go out and vote for Trump! Vote Trump!”

Somehow, I don’t think Honest Abe ever got hit with a half-billion-dollar fine for grifting in his business.

If it Smells Like a Rat…

The copy for the fragrance reads: “Victory” is more than a fragrance— this cologne is for the movers, the shakers, and the history makers. Crowned with a Trump Collector’s cap, splash on a bit of Victory and own every room you step into.”

And don’t forget he’s also hawking $99 Trump Victory Fragrances so you can smell like a rat too.

To quote Abraham Lincoln:

“You can fool some of the people some of the time and MAGA People all the time.”

    I think a perfect scent for the Trump wannabe is “‘HAVOC’, reek some today!”

    I guess it’s not necessarily true that no one can stand stinky sneakers.
