PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: In a move that has sparked widespread ridicule online, former President Donald Trump has unveiled a donor-access program offering "personalized" golden high-top sneakers to those who raise a staggering $2.5 million for his campaign.

As per a document released to NBC News by an unnamed source with close ties to the Republican National Committee, this steep price tag grants entry into the 'Trump Victory Trust' circle.

Beyond the sneakers, the 'Victory Trust' package includes a host of exclusive perks, such as VIP benefits at the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, a signed MAGA hat, access to monthly updates from the RNC's "election integrity and litigation" team via phone, and participation in national retreats and 'Victory' gatherings.

The 'Victory Trust' circle is just the tip of the iceberg in Trump's elaborate donor-access program. For those unable to reach the $2.5 million mark, Trump's donor program offers a tiered system of perks based on contribution levels.

From the $834,600 'Ultra MAGA' tier down to the $24,000 'MAGA 24' tier, each level offers a set of benefits, but the golden sneakers remain the exclusive domain of the highest-tier 'Victory Trust' contributors.

A portion of the funds raised will find their way into Trump's political action committee, Save America, which has been dedicated to covering his legal expenses. In addition to the sneakers, Trump offers 'Victory47' cologne and perfume priced at $99.

Trump has a long history of marketing his own branded merchandise, which includes products such as Trump steaks and Trump Vodka, spanning decades.
