What the fuck is any politician doing at a convention for sneakers? If I was at this Sneaker Con, I'd be pretty pissed that this was where my admissions money was going since I paid for a fucking sneaker convention. Just because he brought a sneaker line to a sneaker convention doesn't mean he should be let in.
And this is fucking rich considering all of the names around the extremely lazy and uncreative (as we've come to expect from Trump) product:
That disclaimer goes further, saying it has no connection to Trump or his businesses, and that they simply licensed his image.
Which, given his direct promotion of the product, appears to be simply one more of the lies we've come to expect with anything to do with Trump.
Lots of voters there, why not?
Yes, I know that's why Trump wanted to be there.
Why should the convention have agreed?
Because the convention organizers make money from every person who walks in the door and they prob don’t care about politics.
Hence my saying-
It would sure as hell make me less likely to walk in the door the next time the convention happens and if I didn't know he was going to be there, I would have demanded a refund.
Maybe they shouldn't assume all the people who went there were excited to see a rapist traitor who says he wants to be a dictator. Considering he was booed, that seems like something they should have considered.
There were a number of voices in the crowd booing him during his "presentation".
It's the same reason you see army recruitment at comic cons, they want to grab young, and impressionable people
