How much money did Trump's live broadcast make for the United States?
The New York court issued Trump with a $350 million "fine", but he didn't seem to have much thought or concern. As a result, the next day, he became the most unreliable e-commerce expert and started a wonderful live broadcast.
The sneaker is a $399 luxury gold high-top sneaker with the U.S. flag on it and a "T" autographed by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
It's like watching an out-of-print anime, and those sneakers are like magic, and they were bought at the first time, bringing "quick blood" to Trump's money bag.
Trump: Fans, these shoes are cheap, 399 yuan.
This scene makes people think: what kind of absurd drama is this?
The previous leader, but now he is in the live broadcast, and the whole world is watching quietly, as if this is a matter of course.
From this perspective, we can see the commercialization of American politics, the extreme manifestations of consumerism, and the magical power of star worship.
However, on a deeper level, this series of events also reflects some rifts and conflicts in the United States.
The Transition from ** to Public Figure: From the White House to the Stage.
Today, we are seeing an unprecedented change: from the mysterious lobby of the White House to the glitzy studio, Trump has not only changed the trajectory of his career, but also completely reshaped the "retirement" of politicians.
But don't get him wrong, he is by no means the only American politician who has successfully turned his political status into a business opportunity. It's just that he behaved so obviously that many people thought that this was beyond the comprehension of the public.
What do Americans fight for politics for? Isn't it just about doing business?
For example, some ** in the United States has published an autobiography describing his life during his tenure, which is already a commercial transfer of political identity.
Trump went a step further by not only giving his work to publishers, but also turning himself into a mobile advertising board for customers to sell. Its level of directness and commodification has elevated the commercial turn of political identity to a new level.
Against the backdrop of Trump's flamboyant on-the-spot merchandising, there is a more complex irony: America's political and economic interests are so closely linked.
This is not just a decision of one predecessor, it reflects all the political system in the United States and manifests itself in various ways.
From senior advisers to members of Congress, from the White House to local executives, many people turn their power into financial interests when they leave office. They either become consultants, directors, or start their own businesses, relying on their former political status to break new ground in the financial world.
The political and business communities in the United States have a close stake.
This phenomenon makes people ponder: Is it true that the political and business circles in the United States have a very close stake, and their decision-making is really based solely on the public interest? Or, will it also be taken by some people? Trump's online shoe sales, which seem to be just hype, are actually a reflection of real life in the United States.
What's even more absurd is that such a change has not aroused many people's doubts and thoughts. The populace has long been accustomed to this and sees it as a sign of victory.
Consumer-first performance: limited edition sneakers and star effects.
At the scene of Trump's delivery, the limited-edition sneakers occupied the focus of the entire show, which was definitely the climax of a consumerist drama and arguably the best interpretation of "star" and "consumer" culture in the United States.
In this context, consumption has become not only a need, but also a social activity, a means of symbolizing an object.
Mr. Trump, a well-known figure who was once a political leader, used his powers to create a pair of sneakers that made them a sign of social status, sparking a frenzy of spending.
Trump's "celebrity effect" has had another effect.
They don't buy shoes just to buy a pair of shoes, but for a collective identity, a sense of belonging that comes from purchasing. What this phenomenon reflects is a sense of nothingness that Americans exhibited during this period, as well as an excessive thirst for "objectified" symbols.
Ironically, the popularity of celebrities combined with the success of the limited release strategy reflects the fanatical pursuit of celebrity politicians by the American consumer base, as well as their endless pursuit of uniqueness and rarity. In such an environment, people's values have been seriously distorted, and a person's value and identity are judged by material consumption.
The Boundary Between Law and Lourdes: Fines and the "Bloodshed" Strategy.
We've also seen Trump use his usual wit to turn a hefty fine into an eye-catching merchandise.
It's not just a "blood" tactic, it's something akin to magic: it comes out of this side on the surface, but it actually comes in from that side.
And this magician's money seems to be inseparable from a large number of taxpayers.
Trump was fined $350 million just a few days ago, a sum that ordinary people cannot understand. But for Mr. Trump, it was just a small farce, a farce that could easily be defused by selling shoes on the spot.
On the other hand, the severity and authority of the law seem to be easily subverted and become a "small matter", which can be offset by business activities.
American taxpayers' money is being manipulated by Trump.
Ironically, the "pitch" was a huge success, as it looked like Mr. Trump was paying fines with his own taxes, using his celebrity influence and business skills to shift his financial losses to customers who bought things.
In this way, the line between France and Germany is becoming more and more blurred. While Mr. Trump is not legally breaking the law, he is using existing businesses and media outlets to achieve his financial goals. But the move shows that they disdain justice for punishment, as if to tell the rich and powerful that they will find ways to evade accountability, regardless of their rulings.
In the face of so many accusations, Trump can still live so well.
This is not only a satire on taxpayers, but also a provocation to the legal and ethical system of the United States.
Trump's trick of "blood return" shows us not only personal wisdom and financial resources, but also a test of the concept of justice and fairness. This kind of magic trick of "going out and going in" is not only the circulation of money, but also a manifestation of the circulation and transformation of power and power between society.
This absurd drama ended on Trump's live broadcast platform, when the only remaining sneaker was snatched up.
But for the American people, there is more than just a business victory or personal "cunning".
The commercialization of politics in the United States, the prevalence of consumerism, the blurred line between law and morality, and the lack of social responsibility in the United States are all common problems facing the United States and other countries around the world.
Trump's live broadcast and sales pitch is not just his performance, but a special situation that exposes all the problems.
