    What’s truly sad about this is that the same people who would buy golden sneakers from Trump will have already lost one or both of their feets to the diabeesus.

      These are going to sell out regardless of if anyone buys them. This is just a way rich people launder money.

      Sell something that costs a minimal amount to make for an outrageous price. They don’t have to worry about whether or not a consumer would buy it because the object is trivial. It’s about legally passing money from one place to another in a way that looks like business.

      The same thing happens when you see obvious trash make it onto a ‘best seller’ list.

        Like all those terrible political books by candidates which are then bought en mass by super PACs and others to funnel money into the campaign.
