Trump was met with boos and cheers at Sneaker Con one day after a New York judge fined him $355 million in the wake of a lengthy fraud trial
The day after a New York judge fined him $355 million in the wake of a lengthy fraud trial, former President Donald Trump spent his Saturday in two battleground states, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
First stop: Sneaker Con in Philadelphia.
"Sneakerheads, your sneakerheads, right? Does everybody in the room consider themselves a sneakerhead?" Trump said in a short speech to an unusual crowd that was divided between chanting for and booing at him.
The event was supposed to be part of an unveiling of the latest Trump merchandise: gold "Never Surrender" high-top sneakers selling for $399, which are already listed as sold-out online, and "Victory47" fragrances for $99. (Also available: "Red Wave" and $199 "POTUS 45" shoes.)
Trump himself took the stage holding a pair of the high-top sneakers.
