'Everything Trump does is a scam': Ex-president accused of duping media on shoe sales
Raw StoryDonald 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. Soon after, Trump shared a Newsweek article titled, "Trump Sneakers 'Resold for $450,000 on eBay.'" "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." "Donald Trump's golden sneakers are selling at hugely marked-up prices after their launch earlier this month, with one pair on the online auction site eBay listed for more than $450,000 having been sold," the February story states without further verification.
