Ex-president launched new shoe brand after he was ordered to pay $450m in two legal cases
Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg has bought a website address referencing former president Donald Trump’s new sneaker brand and turned it into an anti-gun violence website with the ability to call lawmakers to advocate for legislation.
Mr Hogg, who is now the president of Leaders We Deserve, an organisation dedicated to electing young candidates to Congress, made the announcement on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday.
“I just bought shoptrumpsneakers.com” the activist wrote. “I have redirected you to a page to call your member of Congress. The twist is the person who makes the call is a victim of gun violence whose voice has been re-created with AI to call for gun safety.”
David Hogg is amazing. He took a horrific tragedy that he experienced and turned that around and became a force for good.
And just mentioning his name pisses off Republicans.
And he somehow didn’t punch MTG in the face when she was harassing him. Which, in my opinion, deserves sainthood.
Am I the first person to point out that shoe salesman Al Bundy had a hotter wife and smarter kids than Donald Trump?
Al Bundy’s talking dog was smarter than the cumulative IQ of the entire Trump family tree.
And Seven was more likeable than all of them combined.
That was a true laugh out loud!
Al Bundy was a shoe salesman who owned a house in the 1980s and I don’t know anyone who found that concept absurd.
The house was too big? Sure. That he owned a house? Of course he owned a house. Why wouldn’t he own a house?
How things have changed.

To be honest, Friends was the first time I ever remember anyone questioning how those people could live like that.
Seinfeld? The only person on Seinfeld who anyone wondered why they had a Manhattan apartment was Kramer since he literally never had a job and that got explained. And it’s not like they were all wealthy. Jerry wasn’t even all that well-known as a comedian when the show started but he still had a Manhattan apartment and I don’t remember anyone suggesting that anything but the size of it was unrealistic. George lost his job multiple times but never his apartment. Again, no one said, “how could he still afford his apartment while he was between jobs?”
And the answer is- because that’s how things used to work in the real world.
What can we do to push traffic to shoptrumpsneakers.com?
Google it or similar enough to where Google starts pointing to it.
Excellent idea!

Dumb question: from whom did he buy the domain? I.e. will the proceeds of the sale support the Trump campaign?
Probably no one. Most likely was just a domain with no previous owner he purchased through a registrar
I had the same questions from that misleading headline, he just bought a similar domain.

Trump didn’t launch a shoe brand lol. It’s some completely independent company with no ties to him at all, they just paid him a licensing fee.
