Who is making the shoes?

That’s a bit of a mystery. The Trump Sneakers site says the shoes “are not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principals.”

Instead, the Trump-owned CIC Ventures LLC (which was also behind Trump’s NFT digital trading-card venture) has licensed his name to another company called 45Footwear LLC.

The business registration for 45Footwear LLC was filed on January 31, less than three weeks before the sneaker line was launched. It was registered by an independent asset-protection consultant named Andrew Pierce, who works for a law firm called Cloud Peak Law Group in Sheridan, Wyoming. Pierce and the firm have apparently set up more than 5,000 LLCs for clients. The address listed in the filing for 45Footwear LLC is the same as the firm’s.

It costs only $100 for anyone to quickly and anonymously register an LLC in Wyoming using agents like Pierce, and the lack of oversight has made the state a haven for shady pop-up businesses. Reuters reported in December that it had uncovered a number of shell companies operated by cybercriminals that had been registered by LLC-registration businesses in Sheridan. Reporting on the Pandora Papers in 2022, the Washington Post explained, “In Wyoming, the number of LLCs has soared in the past decade from about 4,200 to more than 220,000, state data shows. Companies established in the state have been listed in lawsuits alleging medical fraud in Russia, tax dodging in Hungary, and bank theft in Zimbabwe, foreign court records show.”

TL;DR; there's never any conclusive proof of money laundering, otherwise it'd be a shitty scheme indeed. But this is what money laundering looks like. It's all over the art collection world (practically invented for money laundering). You won't ever see people wearing these sneakers, but they'll be "sold out" everywhere. Because of the layers of indirection, it's impossible to track/trace the money. Whatever inventory doesn't sell to legitimate people will be bought out by billionaire backers or governments who want to give money to trump, his campaign, or his personal fortune, without running afoul of gift giving and campaign finance violations/laws.

TL;DR;TL;DR; This is exactly what money laundering looks like.

Unfortunately, you're both wrong 🙂

His supporters are not buying them. They're for laundering money. This is money laundering. That's how it works.

Have you seen videos from Brazil? Everyone's either an undercover cop or an assassin about to shoot at an undercover cop, at any given moment.

Compared to that, what could muskrat threaten them with?

You have to understand though, these people are cowards who absolutely do not think the laws or rules should apply to them, because they've never faced any consequences in their life up to this point.

Supporting Ukraine is a cheap way to hold Russia at bay and reduce their disruption and potential negative impact across Europe and other countries we have tight alliances with.

If Russia invades a NATO country because Ukraine falls to them and they want more, well, shit gets way more complicated and exponentially more expensive, because we're going to a full blown world war.

Think of this as a significantly cheaper way to achieve our global goals without costing American lives or significant resources.

Surround yourself with groups of people you like hanging out with and admire in some way. Look at them as ways to learn and grow yourself.

Others in here have suggestions on how to meet these sort of people, but you've gotta pick the right ones. It's ok to make some mistakes, that's life. Just be willing/ready to cut out toxic people in your life quickly or they'll poison the sort of person you're hoping to become.

There are lots and lots of great people out there. I received almost no support from my family growing up or as an adult. My friends were my family, and I've learned everything about who I am from them.

Why is this man being downvoted? He's correct. That is the historical reason America got involved.

There were tens of millions of Americans that supported the Germans/Nazi party, and the rest basically didn't want to get involved on the world stage again.

The real evils of the Nazi regime weren't realized until the last year or so of the war when we pushed in through the incursion areas and saw the camps and horrid treatment/deaths of the "undesirables". Then it became a true moral outrage that brokered no dissension. Until then, it was because we had 4billion+ in loans to Germany they were repaying us after our costs for WW1, among other financial incentives.

Claiming otherwise is whitewashing history.

America has never been a particularly great country. Don't let the school propaganda fool you. We've done things nearly as bad, and in some cases worse, than the Nazi party in our past. But nobody started a world war about it because we kept it within our borders (e.g. the Native American genocide, slavery, etc.).

I think the individual people who went to war from America in WW2 were doing the right thing, and believed in it for the right reasons. But the people at the top pulling the strings? Financial justifications all the way down.

To be fair, APIs have been around since the 70s,and are not trendy, they're just required to have a common interface for applications to request and perform actions with each other.

But yeah, AI is mostly trendy bullshit

Like you would know.

The fact that you say that and have that attitude means you've never experienced true hardship. True loss.

It's written all over you. You're practically broadcasting it to everyone the harder you try to dig in.

People who have had hard lives, truely hard lives and faced unimaginably difficult challenges and loss, gain empathy for their fellow man, not lose it.

You're just trying to cosplay as something everyone can very clearly see you're not.

Consider yourself lucky, and while I don't wish undue hardship on anyone, In your case, it might give you that perspective you're trying so hard to convince everyone around you you've had.
