Sneaker Con: How is Donald Trump going to pay $355 million fine? $399 at a time

Live Mint  

As he closes in on the Republican presidential nomination, former President Donald Trump made a highly unusual stop on 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 unveiled what he touted as the first official Trump footwear. The launch comes a day after a judge in New York ordered Trump to pay a whopping USD 355 million in penalties, finding that the former president lied about his wealth for years, scheming to dupe banks, insurers and others by inflating his wealth on financial statements. Trump's appearance was met with clashing boos from his detractors and chants of “USA!” from supporters who arrived at the sneaker event decked out in Trump gear. The website touts the shoes as a limited-edition “true collector's item” that is “Bold, gold, and tough, just like President Trump.” “The Never Surrender sneakers are your rally cry in shoe form.
