Among the ways Kanye West destroyed his career was supporting Donald Trump.
At the same time, Kanye lost his lucrative deal with Adidas for Yeezy shoes.
Tonight Kanye has put his imprimatur on a line of $399 sneakers launched by Trump — there’s also a $99 cologne — at a Sneakercon rally in Pennsylvania. You could say Trump put the con in Sneakercon. Outside of MAGA hats, Trump is renown for failures like Trump Steaks, Trump suits, and Trump University. On Trump’s website they say the sneaker run of 1,000 pairs is sold out. (They are already a collectible, especially if Trump goes to jail.)
West, whose album “Vultures 1” has been pulled off digital platforms after less than 2 days, endorsed Trump and his sneakers tonight. Posting a video of Trump being greeted by ecstatic followers carrying “Sneakercon” signs, Kanye said, “This made me smile.”
One fan wrote back: “Sometimes it be so hard to defend you brah”
Another said: “Kanye you’re getting on my f@cking nerves again”
Bette Midler wrote on Twitter: “They’re not Yeezys, they’re Cheezys”
On the website, Trump out and out lies about owning the sneaker line.
And so it goes.
