  1. Baha that’s hilarious. Hope he purchased a few different domain variations just to get a decent spread.

  2. > Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg has bought a website address referencing former president Donald Trump’s new sneaker brand and turned it into an anti-gun violence website with the ability to call lawmakers to advocate for legislation.
    “I just bought shoptrumpsneakers.com” the activist wrote.

  4. >According to the website, 43,036 gun violence deaths occurred in 2023. So far this year, almost 5,000 people have died from gun violence.

    If we’re to assume that this statistic is correct, 100 people on average die from gun violence every day (of this year at least). Even if that ends in the year off with less deaths than last year, that’s still a TON of people and way more than the average in a good amount of places. Progress is happening but the problem still exist. Go to the website, show some support, and stay safe.

  9. My man is fighting the dark urge to use Pumped Up Kicks on the website.

  13. “I just bought shoptrumpsneakers.com” the activist wrote. “I have redirected you to a page to call your member of Congress. The twist is the person who makes the call is a victim of gun violence whose voice has been re-created with AI to call for gun safety.”

    What does this mean, exactly?

  14. david hogg is a driving force in the next generation of real american leaders

  16. I had an ad pop up on youtube for “Trumpinator Bobbleheads” just a little while ago. With trump going on about how these were the perfect collectible gift for patriots everywhere. The guy is basically making himself such a parody of himself, there’s hardly any floor left to even make fun of him.

  17. Gotta admire Hogg. Was a victim and has faced threats for speaking out against his classmates being gunned down and still hits back.

    Looking at Trump’s website with the shoes that does exist it has a few glaring policies. Ain’t no one who gets grifted going to get their shoes ever let alone to their Heavens Gate Insurrection

    > Trump Fragrances are expected to start shipping in June 2024. **Trump Sneakers are expected to start shipping July 2024** for the gold High-Tops, and the Potus 45 White Knit & Red Wave Knit are expected to ship in August 2024. **Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed**. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.

    And
    > **There are no refunds**. All sales on GetTrumpSneakers.com are final.

  20. This is a clever form of civil resistance against a bought, convicted and voted out politician, his supporters and for a good cause.

    Respect.

  21. Seeing Donnie Jon pump shitty sneakers to make a dollar is like seeing Jamie Diamond selling watermelons by the side of the road or Warren Buffet soliciting HJs at a truck stop. This is not something a “billionaire” does.

  22. Love him or hate him the truth is Trump knows shoes. He has too, he has delicate little bone spurs. Ever seen him try to walk down a ramp? Clearly he needs the most comfortable shoes for his soft little man feet.

    These are sneakers made for men with soft sensitive feet by the softest man of all.

  23. Talk about embracing a horrible time in your life and turning it into a spotlight into the shitshow that is MAGA.

  24. the moment guns become outlawed democracy will die because eventualy somebody will get in power take control of the military and stay in power.

  30. I absolutely love this! When that ape from Georgia, followed and harassed that shooting victim, it made me want to puke! I can’t stand to even look at her, and when she speaks it’s like a goat grunting for a treat🤮

  32. What kills me/confusing me about the shoes is they’re basketball shoes. 45 isn’t a hooper, isn’t he a “golfer”? Confused as to why didn’t do a golf shoe instead.

  35. Love this man…talk about turning the tables on personal tragedy! I salute you Mr. Hogg

  40. Looking forward to seeing this young man run for office. I‘d donate in a heartbeat.

  41. Okay this might be the one time I’m okay with using AI to impersonate people.

  43. It’s great. The site sends a letter to a representative about gun control.
