Fox News host says Trump’s $399 gold sneakers will make Black people support him because ‘they love sneakers’ – DeadState

These will hang on a power line soon enough

I mean, yeah, if I I were into collecting sneakers and had the money, I'd totally do it for the meme.

Maybe auction them off once they sell out and donate the proceeds to some lgbt/minority/feminist org?

I mean, fuck it, most revenue he's going to make off of them was around half a mil anyway iirc.

You overpay for a trash product not because you're willing to buy the product at that price, because you believe that is what it is worth, but because an investigator can't prove you were just doing it to transfer funds.

For another example, all these political talking heads pumping out a ghost written book no one will read that sell out immediately and make the best seller list because a PAC buys all the copies.

I don't think that's what's happening here though. A thousand sneakers at $400 isn't hard math, and while that's a lot of money on a personal level it's nothing to a man that just ate a $300 million fraud judgement.

Nice try FBI, but you’re not getting me to confess.

All kidding aside. Everything Trump does is the terrible way of doing things.

It could be more.

While I agree with your intent there actually is a Fox entertainment that's owned by Disney and is not in any way currently connected to the trash fire that is Fox News. Fox News was spun off into its own thing while the rest of Fox that isn't dedicated to Republican propaganda was sold to the highest bidder which happened to be Disney.

Why are you repeating their comment?

We'll find out around July when they're supposed to have been delivered.

Pfft. He dont go out in public. Too risky for him.

You joke, but that still wouldn't work for you. The gold ones all sold out in a day. Lol

Those aren't his sneakers.

I said out in public. Not that staged and paid photo shoot. This ain't counting.

It's either AI, or someone who broke his ankles for this photoshot...

Old man not perfect, better burn the country down

Very few look at Biden as anything more than a, "Block Trump from office" vote. People aren't voting for biden, they are voting for the only one who stands a chance at being elected when pit against Trump

Biden is a flip flopping coward, but I fail to see how electing him would be "more depressing" than wannabe Hitler.

I think we're all pretty bummed that we "have to" vote for Biden. He sucks. He's also the candidate of a party in a 2 party system. We have no choice. It is a shitty system. I'm confident that in a more democratic system of representation (abolish the electoral college, implement ranked-choice voting, etc) we would all spend considerably more time talking about "the best" candidates that match our views most closely, but unfortunately in this country there's really not much point.

You're not wrong. I can't help but imagine myself singing "If I Were a Rich Man" in those shoes.

Just like I assume you can't stop wanting to watch The Wiz while wearing them. Or, you know, whatever is Fiddler on the Roof for black people.

In case it needs to be said: sooooooooo much /s

Look, I'm all for people feeding their faces to leopards. The problem is that they leave their freaking front door open and then their leopard starts eating everyone's face in the neighborhood. Some people just aren't happy until the leopards have nothing left to feed on.
