I would certainly hope not. Declaring that a POTUS literally cannot be held accountable for a crime committed whilst in office...I mean, I know Trump's toadys would love it because it suits them in the moment, but probably not a good precedent.


It would be a horrible precedent. Not that there shouldn't be some immunity but unlimited immunity seems like it could be a disaster.

I think I've noticed one other thing about Trump. He'll use someone like Mike Lindell, all day, every day, and take all his money. But he'll never really let him inside. He wants clever crooks on the inside, not crackpots no matter how many times they offer to kiss his ring and grovel.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

If you want to know what image really triggered Trump (of all the images made of him) it's this Ai created image (according to reports)

What are the odds Donny declares personal bankruptcy in the next few weeks to avoid paying his court ordered damages?

Zero, His ego wouldn't allow it. I mean, one or more of his companies my declare bankruptcy, but never him. Not when there are so many willing sheep to fleece and he's about to put his DIL in charge of the RNC coffers.

It will be months before buyers might receive Donald Trump's exclusive line of sneakers.

According to the fine print on the Trump Sneakers website, it could take up to five months for customers to receive their purchases. Some products could take even longer.

"Trump Sneakers are expected to start shipping July 2024 for the gold High-Tops, and the Potus 45 White Knit & Red Wave Knit are expected to ship in August 2024," a statement on the website said.

Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments," the fine print noted.

So, let's speculate on how the grift works.....

Nominally 1000 pairs will be made and sold. That's not even half a million dollars. That's a HUGE red flag. How ir trumpy leveraging this?

Maybe 45Footwear will wait for bootlegs to appear on amazon and the bay. Not even bothering to create any.
Maybe 45Footwear will take payment for many thousands of pairs and place drop ship orders for delivery of the bootleg ones..... Or not even bother.
Certainly, trump will make money somehow. Is 45Footwear just a shell company for laundering dirty money, bribes etc into his tiny hands?

He gets a royalty on every pair sold. How much isn't publicly known. It could-but unlikely- also be a front for him to make off the books dinero.

It's the scale of the operation that seems wrong. limited edition of 1000 pairs at $400 a pair. He doesn't own the company selling them, and it's already obvious they are just dumped out from China. Even if he got 100% of the retail price, that's not even half a million dollars. He wouldn't get out of bed for so little.
This is not the real grift, somehow. More likely a publicity stunt for some other grift with a much richer payoff down the line. Or maybe just money laundering in plain sight.
