Despite his massive fine and New York business ban, he is forging ahead with his presidential campaign and money-making ventures. Donald Trump appeared at the SneakerCon convention in Philadelphia to promote a new branded product. The event occurred just two days after he was penalized for his business fraud charges. “This is something I’ve been talking about for 12 years, 13 years,” he told the crowd via Associated Press YouTube. He announced the arrival of the Trump Sneakers brand and presented the line’s centerpiece, the limited edition “Never Surrender” high-top. The shoe is a vision in gold with an American flag detail on the back and a $399 price tag. 

Trump’s appearance elicited both boos and cheers, which he attempted to deflect by inviting a fan to come on stage with him. In a video from Midas Touch, a woman emotionally stated, ‘We need him! He’s a good, honest Christian man. They’re after him for no reason!’ Ron Filipkowski, Midas Touch’s editor-in-chief, noticed something unusual about the encounter. In a screenshot he shared on X (formerly Twitter), the former POTUS appeared to be wearing something underneath his blue suit. ‘You can see the outline of the top of his girdle when this woman hugs him,’ he commented.

Some respondents believed the object could be a bulletproof vest, but others noted that the bulge appeared on his abdomen rather than his chest. 

Donald Trump’s sneakers and rumored ‘girdle’ generate much attention.

At 77 years old, there are indications that his health may be deteriorating, including his age, gait, and verbal mistakes. While none of these are uncommon for a man his age, any suggestion of decline could harm his election prospects. He often praises his health and mental sharpness. In September, he showed off a health report indicating weight loss and excellent condition. Trump would likely be upset by suggesting he wore a girdle under his suit at SneakerCon to hide a belly bulge. Former attorney Ron Filipkowski received thousands of views and comments for advancing that. 

A respondent pointed out that even if the odd bump was a protective vest, it does not negate the fact that he has quite a circumference, with or without a vest or girdle. Another agreed that if that is the case, he needs to fire whoever is measured for it because that is not how it should fit.

Trump’s supporters are taking an ‘I don’t care, do you?’ attitude toward the mysterious shirt protrusion. The gold high-top limited edition sneakers are already sold out. However, two low-top models are still available for $199 per pair. If you order two or more pairs, you will receive a discount and an invitation to the official launch party. Please note that President Trump’s attendance is not guaranteed.
