Trump's Bloody Sneakers fly off shelves as campaign heats up
4:46 AM EDT, July 18, 2024
The website owned by Donald Trump has been selling sneakers with his initials or slogans like "Trump 45 President of the USA" for some time. There are also gold editions available. However, recently, sneakers featuring the image of a bloody Trump have appeared for sale.
The photo on the sneakers was taken during the attack on the former president on July 13th. The limited edition shoes cost $299 and, contrary to appearances, they are very popular.
In addition to the historical photo, the sneakers also feature the slogan "Fight, fight, fight!" —words that Trump shouted right after the shooting had ceased.
According to the website, only 5,000 pairs of these sneakers were produced. They also feature the American flag. Some sizes are already sold out. Furthermore, Trump will leave his autograph on 10 randomly selected pairs.
The image of a bloody Trump, the Secret Service employees surrounding him, and the slogan "Fight, fight, fight" are some of the most memorable moments of the terrifying incident that occurred at Trump's campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13th. 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire, injuring the former president and killing firefighter Corey Comperatore, as well as injuring two others.
With only 5,000 pairs available, each one is a true collector’s item. Show your support and patriotic pride with these exclusive sneakers, capturing a defining moment in history, reads the website.
Earlier this year, a company affiliated with Trump introduced another line of sneakers with the slogan "Never Surrender." Despite the $399 price tag, these sneakers also sold out rapidly.
Sneakers with Trump's photo. The Republican leads in the polls
Trump is currently leading in the polls for the 45th president of the USA, surpassing Joe Biden. Even before the shooting in Pennsylvania, he performed better than his opponent in the presidential TV debate.
Despite the assassination attempt, which took place less than a week ago, Trump is not resting on his laurels. He is currently in Milwaukee at the Republican National Convention and is set to deliver a long-awaited speech on Thursday, where he will accept the party's nomination. This will be his first appearance since the assassination attempt.
