"Game on, Don."

Those suck just as much as the Trump sneakers.

Honest-to-God, this is the stupidest election in the history of elections.

MadTownGuy said...

Heh. Thought it was going to be Howard Dean's Screamin' Sneakers.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

That is not a sneaker.

Kate said...

Those are AI. They're as tacky as Trump's, but at least his can actually be worn. Also, not sneakers.

No wonder Phillips can't get traction against Biden. Har-har.

Christopher B said...

Game, set, match to Trump

Quaestor said...

What game does Dean Philips have in mind, drag racing?

Kevin said...

So the game is “copy Trump”?

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Watch it, Dean.
Camp mob Soros Chi Com Biden, do not appreciate any competition. NO matter how unknown you are.

Iman said...

He said, “you must be jokin’ son. Where did you get those shoes?”

Humperdink said...

Headline: "Rep. Dean Phillips announces campaign staff layoffs"

Apparently the soon-to-be laid off staff were offered positions in the sneaker sweat shop. A modeling position was offered to Nikki "Heels" Haley.

BG said...

What is his point? At least as an “elderly” person with arthritic knees I’d be able to wear Trump’s…as in able to be worn by the vast majority of the population. Peace symbol? We had peace with Trump. U.S. flag? We also know Trump is patriotic. To me it seems I’m looking at a loser.

Bob Boyd said...

Like Dean himself, that's just an image. It's not real.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Will Cate - Indeed.

So, trans-platform sneakers? Were those available at SneakerCon? Have they also sold out?

I'd say it is more like "Game over".

Phillips to staff: "Learn to stitch".

Freder Frederson said...

We had peace with Trump.

You do realize that more troops were killed under Trump's presidency (65) than under Biden's (and admittedly Biden has almost a full year left in office so that could change).

Eva Marie said...

Symbolism wise:
1. Democrats will tell you lies and expect you to believe them - those are sneakers?
2. For Democrats, patriotism is a mere decoration to be taken off whenever convenient.
3. Democratic policies will make you uncomfortable as hell.

Exactly.
There is a strategy in poker. Get the biggest hand you're betting against to talk. Get them to say anything. What you're looking for is inflection and body language.

Trump's gold sneakers sold out within hours after the launch. The shoes aren't for wearing. They're for trading. The sneaker market is insane. It reality the product is meaningless. Like diamonds and designer hand bags.

Chants of the crowd at the event were "fuck Joe Biden".

Press is trying to sell the idea the crowd was chanting "Let's go Biden".

Breezy said...

That’s pretty funny, actually….

He’s dissing Don’s fashion sense. Of course, its not Don who is buying or wearing them….

Leland said...

People that like Phillip’s post and think Trump is a fraud are free to show me where you can actually purchase Phillip’s shoe.

Meade said...

“Like Dean himself, that's just an image. It's not real.“

Overheard at Meadhouse: “perfect comment”

Gusty Winds said...

So....Dean Phillips is gay? Transgender?

At least Ron DeSantis wore his lifts on the inside of his cowboy boots.

Rocco said...

Kate said...
“No wonder Phillips can't get traction against Biden.”

So Dean should have done spikes instead of high heels.

Bob Boyd said...

Thanks! Made my day.

Bob Boyd said...

Some observations on the image Dean has presented:

Loud
Big heel
Out of style
Rainbow flag built in
American flag and boomer icons were an afterthought.

Skeptical Voter said...

He wishes.

cassandra lite said...

I’d vote for him just for that.

Changing hearts and minds across the nation.....

MikeD said...

The Left once again offers up an indisputable example demonstrating their inability to meme.

Chick said...

Who is Dean Phillips.

Ficta said...

It's goofy. It's fun. At a certain level, I'm impressed with this Dean fellow. He's treating Trump like a normal politician. Good natured banter. Not the hair on fire, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, end of democracy nonsense we've been getting from the totalitarians in the Democratic Party.

rehajm said...

Who?

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Dude still has a sense of humor even though the establishment and his own party are giving him the modified Trump treatment like RFK Jr. is getting as well. These clown shoes are startlingly appropriate for the D party. I think Haley probably owns a pair too.

wendybar said...

Fitting for the Progressive party.

Joe Smith said...

I don't know who this is.

Looks like something Bernie would come up with, although the Russians would have (rightfully) imprisoned hippies if they existed there.

Rabel said...

Genuine vegan leather.

hombre said...

Reportedly, Trump sneakers sold out in 4 hours. (Axios)

Drago said...

"JUST IN: Roman Sharf, the man who paid $9,000 for a signed pair of Trump Sneakers, responds to the bogus claims that he’s a “Russian CEO".

Watch till end."

Taken as a joke, the shoe's funny.

wildswan said...

I expect to see the Presidential election race upended by events leading to a wild Scramble for the Presidency. Everyone will be throwing their hat in the ring - only that's an old-fashioned phrase. They'll be throwing their sneaker meme into a real fantasy-politics game. Anyhow, for example, Biden will suffer Sudden Death Syndrome (but is he REALLY dead) and Trump will be indited for Biden and Epstein and others will run to replace both. Everyone. Fani Wills, for example, will make another triumphant appearance in a $42 dress from Amazon. (So surprising on a woman with an income of $2,000,000 dollars and a cash stash of half her income, that is $1,000,000, taken from leftover campaign contributions but frugality is a virtue.) Anyhow she would have my vote because anyone who could build an $8,000,000 fortune out of an income of $110,000 could solve the problem of the how the US can pay off $32,000,000,000,000 in debt. (Please, please. Take bribes from everyone and send in Tom Cruise to eliminate those who complain about non-fulfillment is Hollywood, not Our Democracy.)
Then Trump will win because everyone will have been lying about who they were really supporting.
Whom.

Rusty said...

Somebody remind Dean that Disco is dead.I haven't seen clod hoppers like that in 40 years.

Tina Trent said...

Someone has to fill the cavernous joy void of a presidential race without dead Lyndon LaRouche.

That Eurasian Land Bridge ain't gonna build itself.

veni vidi vici said...

I thought it said "Dean Sanders" at first glance.

Appropriate.
