God damn, that is some tacky footwear.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago

All politics aside. Those are some ugly shoes.

I would be utterly shocked if it wasn’t.

"Hmmm... Are these.....shoes? Shoes for feet?"

[–] [email protected] 45 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, these are shoes for money laundering.

Good ole write off too.

Technically he needs to sell way more if he intends for the sales to fully cover his legal costs. 900,000 * 399 = 359,100,000 but that's pure Revenue. The shoes likely have a cost per unit and then Trump has to pay taxes on that Revenue, not to mention other business operations costs. He might need to sell 30 to 50 percent more of those shoes.

His legal settlements are 83,300,000 for the E Jean Carol suit and 355,000,000 for NYC, which might actually be way more than that after other factors and interest (I don't know exactly what he owes for the NYC case, bit it's 355M minimum, maybe up to 450M and with contingent interest depending on when it's paid).

He actually has to put the FULL AMOUNT of each settlement for the government to hold for each case he chooses to appeal, and may even owe interest if he loses the appeals.

I'm just a tired stranger on the internet who tried to put some numbers together. If I got something wrong, let me know and I'll correct it

Trump has to pay taxes on that revenue

Hahahahah - have you seen that dude's tax returns? I'm poor as fuck and I pay more in taxes than that asshole.

Cool so avoid the red hatted people and the gold footed ones too

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

always good rules to live by

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

But I already try to avoid clowns.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

No the clowns are the red footed and gold hatted.

The funniest part is someone somewhere has the actual name of the journalist.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

That one is made up. The real Phil spelt his different, and was a visual artist, not a journalist.

"According to the brands website" might be an important hint, tho. I mean Trump and his minions are not exactly known for making correct statements.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The music they stuck under that is perfect.

It’s like the second act is ending, and somehow, the shoes thing was successful. The audience is astounded.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

This is the part where we say thoughts and prayers right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's so horribly ingenious. ~1 million shoes × $400 = $400m. Legal expenses paid

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Exept production cost/taxes, so way more than that

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

oh basketball, what have they done to you

Can’t wait to steal these off an urban nomad after we charge their bunker during the Water Wars of 2037.
