Sneakers featuring bloody Trump image stir controversy and sell out
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, sneakers with the image of a bloody Trump have recently appeared for sale.
The photo on the sneakers was taken at the moment of the attack on the former president of the USA on July 13th. The limited edition shoes cost 408 CAD and, contrary to appearances, are very popular.
In addition to the historical photo, the sneakers also feature the slogan "Fight, fight, fight!" These words were shouted by Trump right after the shooting, of which he was a victim, had ceased.
As the site explains, only 5,000 pairs of these sneakers were produced. They feature the American flag, and some sizes are already sold out. Furthermore, Trump will leave his autograph on 10 randomly selected pairs.
The photo of a bloody Trump, Secret Service employees surrounding him, and the slogan "Fight, fight, fight!" are some of the most memorable moments of this terrifying incident. It took place at Trump's campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13th, when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire, not only injuring the former president but also killing firefighter Corey Comperatore and injuring two other people.
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 sneakers for sale with the slogan "Never Surrender", which, despite the price of 545 CAD, also sold out quickly.
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 proved 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 on Thursday, he will deliver a long-awaited speech in which he will accept the party's nomination. This will be his first appearance since the assassination attempt.
