'Repugnant character': Trump slammed for selling limited edition assassination attempt sneakers for $299

WASHINGTON, DC: After an attempt on former President Donald Trump's life during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the Republican nominee is now selling 'limited edition' sneakers as a memento of the incident.

Notably, with blood all over his face and a raised fist, Trump is featured on the $299 hightop shoe, which has the words 'Fight, Fight, Fight' written beneath, according to Meidas News.

The sneakers come in two variations - white and black

Trump profits on assassination attempt by selling 'limited edition' sneakers

Customers are restricted to 3 pairs each and there will only be 5,000 pairs of white sneakers made, according to Trump's sneaker website. Trump doesn't appear to be bothered by accusations that he is making money off of political violence. 

The white sneaker is currently sold out whereas the black one, 4700 of them, can be pre-ordered.

Every pair is assigned a unique number, and the website announces that Trump will autograph 10 pairs of white sneakers and 12 pairs of black ones at random. This implies that Trump will take on a portion of the shoes himself.

"Introducing the FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT High-Tops. On July 13, 2024, an assassination attempt was made on President Trump at a rally in Butler, PA. Despite the attack, Trump stood tall and resilient, leading the crowd with the powerful chant 'Fight, Fight, Fight'," the sales pitch reads.

The description goes on to say that the shoes are a collector's item and a symbol of patriotism.

"These limited edition high-tops, featuring Trump's iconic image with his fist raised, honor his unwavering determination and bravery. 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," the website stated.

Moreover, Trump's supporters are advised to purchase the shoes as soon as possible because orders will start to be processed in September or October.
