'Everything Trump does is a scam': Ex-president accused of duping media on shoe sales

https://www.rawstory.com/scam-2667710643/

 

Donald Trump recently bragged about a pair of his gold shoes selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there may be more to that story, according to a report.

 

Trump released the golden sneakers in what was largely seen as his latest response to the massive legal judgments he has been getting peppered with in his various court cases. He received some laughter and mockery for his fundraising effort that included putting out the pair of gold high-top sneakers that cost hundreds of dollars.

 

Soon after, Trump shared a Newsweek article titled, "Trump Sneakers 'Resold for $450,000 on eBay.'"

 

But there is more to the story than meets the eye, according to Ben Meiselas, a lawyer and the owner of Los Angeles Magazine.

 

"Trump is bragging someone re-sold the ugly stupid sneakers he’s grifting for $450,000 and the media buys it hook, line, and sinker and gives him the headline he wants and he reposts," he wrote Saturday.

 

"On closer inspection, it appears some MAGA troll listed the sneakers on an auction site for $450,000 the same way you can list anything for any price at all."

 

He then added:

 

"It didn’t sell at that amount. Everything Trump does is a scam, yet the media will publish anything he feeds them."

The thing I truly appreciate about Wolff is that hes honest & true to his principals. Hes thought things out & doesnt make his viewpoint a guessing game.

 

That said no one makes a better case against democracy than the 'democratic socialists'.

These people have more money than they could spend in 10 lifetimes. Meanwhile people are dying, homeless, from overdoses, a medical emergency puts someone in a level of debt they can never pay back in their entire life, children are going to school hungry and being charged for the meals they get from the cafeteria, teachers are basically impoverished, the country can't replace its lead pipes fast enough, people need two jobs to pay rent and don't have anything left over for other necessities, and so on. It's outrageous that the ultra-rich aren't taxed according to good and prudent judgment.


 

It’s never enough.

Pretty much.....

 

Which is ironic in the extreme, since these are the same folks that wave the flag the hardest when anyone mentions the fact that they fought a war 250 years ago, just to get rid of the monarchy....

 

Although, I have to admit, Prince Fuckface Jr. has a nice ring to it.....:classic_unsure:

Why doesn’t someone tell him to chill out with the bronzer? He looks like an illegal immigrant.
 

Trump doubles down on claim that Democrats 'execute' babies after birth

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-abortion-ninth-month/

 

 

Donald Trump is doubling down on his claim that babies are executed "after the ninth month" as part of his argument against abortion rights.

 

Trump released a video Monday declining to outline a national abortion policy, and instead saying he believed it should be decided at the state level. In that video, he said that people are aborting babies after the ninth month — a claim that has been dismissed by experts.

 

A few hours later, when the Biden campaign singled out pieces of Trump's video, he began to panic on Truth Social.

 

On Monday afternoon, he returned to his personal social media account and posted an edited video of Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam talking about a bill that would ease restrictions on third-trimester abortions. Third-trimester procedures are incredibly rare and almost exclusively deal with medical emergencies.
