Donald Trump offers supporters $299 assassination attempt-themed sneakers

As surely as Donald Trump sought to cash in on his various criminal indictments, so the former president turned Republican presidential nominee began to sell merchandise commemorating his attempted assassination in Pennsylvania last weekend.

In Butler county on Saturday, a rooftop gunman wielding an AR-15-style rifle fired shots at the stage. Trump was wounded in one ear. One rally-goer was killed and two injured. The gunman, who was killed by a sniper, was discovered to have had an explosive device in his car.

Despite such traumatic events, 45Footwear, a company which has sold $399 golden Trump-branded sneakers, swiftly offered a new range of high-tops.

Rather more pricey than unofficial assassination merch churned out in China, the $299 white shoes were emblazoned with the US flag, an image of Trump with fist raised and face bloodied and the words “Fight Fight Fight” – his instant reaction to being shot.

Honest question. Is that photo actually from the event? Maybe it’s all the poor quality sources I’m seeing, but I don’t see the wound/blood. And he’s been photographed making that hand pumping motion numerous times.

I don’t doubt that he would take advantage of something like this since he brands everything he can. And it’s gross. So gross.

But… is that what’s actually happening here or is this misinformation?

My second thought after oh shit, was where is the hat? Who’s got the hat? Where is that fucking hat he was wearing. I backed up the video and saw one of the secret services holding it. That’s worth a fortune.
