  1. My favorite line:

    >Hold on. Trump is the culture now? Which culture? Like, the Aryan one?

  2. I also get the feeling that if any African Americans really wanted shoes like that, they would know to just go on Temu and buy them for $18. 

  3. Fox News and their ilk are such zombies to culture they assume that everyone else behaves the same way. Throw in some arbitrary take of racism and stereotypes become predestination.

    “White people will love Taylor Swift because they love blondes and football.”

  4. His voters will throw their money at him regardless. It’s truly bizarre

  5. This just goes to show that *The Emperor’s New Clothes* was written by a seer.

    Who designed these and thought, “that’s a good looking shoe!” without ridicule? I love how they think these ugly-ass shoes are gonna trigger anything except getting your ass whooped.

  6. And there are only 1000 pairs.

    And there are none left.

    And I get stupider every nanosecond I think about these moronic shoes.

  7. First time I’ve seen them up close, and my Gawd, those are some awful looking shoes.

  8. If a fucking sneaker from *any* candidate could sway *any* demographic’s vote, then we’re beyond fucked.

  9. Don’t they look like a bad spray paint job on a pair of chucks with a tacky ass Flag glued on? A kid in our neighborhood had her bike stolen and we found some other kid riding it, they had spray painted it, real shitty job so it was easy to tell they stole it. It just sums up trump, shit and stealing.

  10. Doesn’t matter –

    *Anything* to immediately distract from the **Fraud** ruling against the Blobfish-in-chief.

    He’ll take an embarrassing L on this front any day of the week if it means the story doesn’t linger on his criminality, his fraud, his bankruptcy, etc.

  11. Michael Steele, the former head of the RNC who is now an MSNBC host was covering for Chris Hayes last night. During the segment on these shoes and the “black people will flock to Trump because they love sneakers” part, in the leadup to introducing his guest, he said “trust me, it’s a big miss, and they ugly as hell”

  12. That Fox is putting out this talking point tells me it’s exactly what Trump’s team was thinking and hoping when they decided to put out these shoes.

  13. I fully support this apparel. Also please add gold pants and shirts…..the full package.

    I want to be able to identify these morons from a distance so I can steer clear of them.

  14. They’re just setting the stage for plausible election lies

    If they say Trump is doing well within the black community…then when he doesn’t get their votes, he can claim the election was once again stolen

  15. Too late, Trump’s already convinced he’s the Black Whisperer. Buckets of KenTrumpy Fried Chicken will be released any day now.

  16. What a ripoff! Those sneakers cost $399 and they don’t even come with a clown nose?

  17. Can’t spell “Tacky” without a fake golden “T”

  18. Thinking you can bribe black people with sneakers is really telling on themselves.

    If your only exposure to black people were stereotypes and characters you see on TV, then it’s easy to see how you come to a conclusion like that.

  19. I’m pretty sure I could get some old high tops at goodwill, spray them with gold spray paint, paste a bit of old flag on it and paint the bottoms red for under $10.

  20. My brother was boasting about how trump sold out the sneakers in less than an hour.  
      
    I told him the only reason they were bought was because they believed they could be sold for more on eBay.  
      
    *checks eBay*  
      
    Yup, $2k for a pair.  
      
    Scarcity drives the price, but its only value is speculative investment.  
      
    Had there been a million made, they would be ridiculed and people wouldn’t have bought them.

  21. Imagine how low your view of black people must be to think a tacky sneaker would get them to vote for the white supremacist party. Lol

  22. Trump’s gold sneakers won’t dazzle or change Black votes

  23. Gold sneakers won’t win Black votes; focus on policy instead

  24. You know what might sway the vote of black people? The fact that Trump wanted to have the military execute Black Lives Matter protesters.

  25. Hear me out, let’s buy cheap replicas from Alibaba or Temu and sell it for $1000/piece and donate it all to planned parenthood and ACLU

  26. They’re not justugly. They’re tacky, which is *worse.* Tacky *and* ugly is the absolute **worst.**

  27. Expecting shoes to sway the votes of black communities basically confirms that these are ignorant old racists.

  28. Trump totally thought this was his ace in winning the election

  29. To quote The Wire:

    > Not even a black man could style that shit.

    Cheese

  30. Can’t wait to see pictures of poor old white people wearing these at Trump rallies.
