Pretty sure there is at least a couple of other "donate to trump" scams going at the moment as well.

Even if some gofundme for Trump does turn out to not be a total scam, there's no way in hell anyone who is sincerely for Trump can keep themselves from taking a huge chunk off the top. Maybe not a Trump fundraiser for Giuliani legal fees sized chunk, but there's no way they can resist keeping at least 60%.

Between this and the NFTs and the other nonsense he peddles I wonder how many lovely sleeze pitches he gets a day? It’s got to be a lot and most of those scams are even dumber because he doesn’t get in with them.

It’s like his followers expect to be ripped off so when he rips them off they find it comforting.

Edit: There’s two things I want to get fully investigated and documented. The first is a real investigation of wtf happened at the IRS during Trumps required audit (looks meaningfully over at the Engoron decision) and the second is a full accounting of Trumps side hustles and grifts and and cons and etc… from when around 2015.

What's the legality of making this exact same design except with an actual good and correct American flag instead of that poo poo

I'd want to market it as Trump's secret stash of the good poo poo he's holding out for True Patriots but I don't think I can satire law that one enough

Worth pointing out that the Betsy Ross flag with the circular stars has long been a favourite of chuds and proto-chuds, and there's even a controversial history of using it on sneakers from a few years ago

I found an alternative shot. There are not. Left and right shoes are just inverts, with stars on the outside and stripes on the inside.

His next lawsuit is probably going to be due to him misrepresenting these atrocities as being MADE IN AMERICA :911:, while they're inevitably put together using the cheapest possible Chinese prison slave labour. That being the straw that broke Trump's back would be perfect.

That one's pretty easy to get around, though. You can legally claim that they are "Made in America of imported materials," etc etc, if you can feasibly state that the majority of the value-add to the product is in a step performed in America. Do the final package here and stitch on that hideous "T" and he'd have a strong argument. Not an ethical one, mind you, but one that's been held up plenty of times in other manufacturing environments, including shoemakers (New Balance in particular).

No, it’s from zooming on the current US flag with its alternating 6/5 rows of stars.

If you’d make the sneakers during the 48-star period from 1912-1957 for example you’d have a square pattern I bet.

Sorry for the boring answer.

The nice thing about Trump merch is that you can know anyone you catch wearing it is someone who isn't worth engaging with. A several hundred dollar flashing "I'm a toxic rear end in a top hat" sign they pay for themselves.
