Trump hawks $399 branded shoes at 'Sneaker Con,' a day after a $355 million ruling against him
As he closes in on the Republican presidential nomination, former President Donald Trump made a highly unusual stop, hawking new Trump-branded sneakers at “Sneaker Con."
As he closes in on the Republican presidential nomination, former President Donald Trump made a highly unusual stop Saturday, hawking new Trump-branded sneakers at “Sneaker Con,” a gathering that bills itself as the “The Greatest Sneaker Show on Earth.”
Trump was met with loud boos as well as cheers at the Philadelphia Convention Center as he introduced what he called the first official Trump footwear.
The shoes, gold lame high tops with an American flag detail on the back, are being sold as “Never Surrender High-Tops” for $399 on a new website that also sells Trump-branded “Victory47” cologne and perfume for $99 a bottle. He’d be the 47th president if elected again.
…
Biden-Harris 2024 Communications Director Michael Tyler slammed the appearance, saying: “Donald Trump showing up to hawk bootleg Off-Whites is the closest he’ll get to any Air Force Ones ever again for the rest of his life.”

Excuse me, I'm not well versed in American politics mumbo jumbo, but this seems to make no sense, right?
He is the president number 45 already, as Obama was 44 even when he served two terms. You don't get a number for each term, why he would be 47 then?
Trump is only 45 because Grover Cleveland is 22 and 24.
It's counting the order of presidencies. If someone else is president between your terms, you are occupying two positions in the list.
it's also admitting he lost to #46, so I guess that's progress lol
No he's only admitting that he can get rubes that bought Trump45 merch to now buy Trump47 merch.
Oh, that clarified it for sure, thanks. So it's not president 47, it's presidency 47, that sounds way less cool as a concept.
