Time Wounds All Heels [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-02-18 By David Glenn Cox’ English is a funny language sometimes saying more than originally intended unintentionally. Sneakers.com Yes, Sneakers. One who acts surreptitiously dishonesty or secretly or gym shoes. But high-dollar high-fashioned gym shoes. So Sneakers.com is a convention of shoe manufacturers. And guess who stopped by for a little visit? No, it wasn’t Shaquille O’Neill or Michael Jordan. It was Donald Trump, are you surprised? Didn’t you make the obvious connection between gym shoes & Donald Trump? The former President enters the footwear market. Come on kids and put on your really cool gold lame Trumpeteers! Gold lame High tops with American flags embroidered to the sides. Perfect for any social occasion, funeral, or Kid Rock concert. Here’s my question; how desperate must you be as a former President to hawk footwear at a shoe convention? Better question; who was the salesman who pitched and sold that idea to the former President? That’s the person you wanna to hire. It has been alleged the former President is gullible and easily taken in. But it is also alleged Trump has the memory and attention span of a squirrel with a crack habit. So, taking the branded “Victory 47” shoes from concept to marketplace had to be a challenge. See, when Trump is reelected, he will be number 47 this time. I’m just keeping the math simple for any Trumpers reading along. What is the market like for presidential branded shoes these days? Who are the intended customers for “Victory 47”? How many Trump supporters wear tasteless gaudy shoes? How many Trump supporters have $399 in cash or credit? Just how gullible are they? Currently, “Victory 47” branded shoes dominate the presidential branded footwear market. What’s next? Socks and underwear? President Trump branded Depends? Two handled drinking glasses? What must it be like to have no shame at all? “Honey! I need some quick cash. Find the camera and take your clothes off and lay on the bed!” Why not? Trump porn, very tasteful but still really hot. [See My Wife Naked! Only $29.95] It’s no crime for a former President to be selling shoes. Within the pantheon of Trump activities, it is almost commendable. But appearing at a shoe convention? Have you ever been to a trade show? Think Kroger and passing out free smokey link samples Xs 200. This isn’t a coming down the golden escalator moment. But hey! If you need the cash, you have to work for it. Let’s all hope “Victory47” is wildly successful. Because a Go Fund Me Account set up to pay off the former President’s debts and Judgements is not. The “Stand with Trump; Fund the $355M Unjust Judgement” has “taken in” (English again) $84, 354 in the first 24 hours. At first glance that sounds like a pretty good haul. However, at that rate, the judgement should be satisfied inside of this millennium. Almost to the first $100,000 in donations and only 999 more of those to make up one-355th of the judgement. Will the donations increase or slow over time? Maybe they could host a telethon! “Come on everybody! Dig deep! We only need $354,999,156 to put us over the top! I need you to find me 354,999,156 ah, dollars. So, “Victory 47” Never mind what Donald Trump says; look at what Donald Trump does. He’s selling shoes! Gold lame high tops with little American flags embroidered on the sides. Stylish huh? They just go with everything! Could you imagine the Republican conniption fit if Barack Obama were trying to sell shoes or something? “Victory 47” is actually “Desperation24” I’ve got it! I’ll sell shoes! Not just any shoes, but really great shoes! Let’s see; if we can clear $150 a pair. We only need to sell 236 million pairs! Someone call China and place the order. Oooh that smell, can’t you smell that smell? If everything were Hunky Dory in the Trump camp, would he really be appearing at shoe convention between campaign and court dates? Nothing says, “I’m on top” quite like a former president appearing at a shoe convention. The reality is these aren’t even wearing shoes. These are I just love giving my money away to Donald Trump shoes. Primarily by cultists who fear they can’t catch the comet without them. Trump had complained that his heavy courtroom schedule was keeping him from the campaign trail. And yet, was able to sneak (English again) in a little time for his old friends at Sneakers.com. Donald Trump is desperate to raise cash by selling stuff. $84, 354 is a sign that the well is running dry. They still love Donald Trump but a sign maybe they will just hold on to their cash for a little while longer. Donald Trump’s narcissism will never allow him to admit to any financial troubles. “We’re holding a giant yard sale at Mar-a-Lago because I’m really tired of being surrounded by all these rare and valuable antiques. I’ve decided folding chairs and card tables are the way to go for me. My wife Malaria has decided to go care for her deceased mother.” “Trump brand Golf Balls! They cheat automatically! Coming up next on the Home Shopping Channel, the former President tells us all about his new branded car wax. “You know when I’m out in the garage waxing the beast. I asked myself how can I get that new car shine to last? That’s when I first developed Trump wax. The only wax made with the finest Africanized bee’s wax. (Avoid contact with unprotected flesh at all times) Imagine Elvis reduced to playing a supermarket opening. Imagine Bob Dylan reduced to busking on the street corners of New York or Bruce Springsteen appearing down at the local Chuck E Cheese. Now consider Donald Trump appearing at a shoe convention. Nothing better illustrates how things are going for Donald Trump right now quite like “Victory 47”. The only gaudy high top Presidential shoe with an extra heel built right in. “Time wounds all heels.” ― Groucho Marx [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/2/18/2224201/-Time-Wounds-All-Heels?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=latest_community&pm_medium=web Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
