The white high-top shoe features a photo of Trump taken moments after the assassination attempt, with his fist held in the air as an act of defiance. The words "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT" can be seen displayed in blue underneath the cut-out picture of the ex-prez.

Near the ankle part of the kicks is a pattern of a makeshift American flag, however, it is flipped in reverse and shows only five stars instead of the usual 50 that represent all of the country's states.

After listing the shoes — which won't be available to ship until September or October — for sale, it wasn't long until Trump began to face immense backlash for raking in cash as a result of surviving an assassination attempt, especially after his supporter Corey Comperatore was shot and killed by one of the bullets fired by Crooks.

"Hasn’t reached out to the family yet to offer condolences but he didn’t skip a beat to make money off of him. That tracks for Trump’s repugnant character," one social media user slammed of the 78-year-old — who was ridiculed for not reaching out to Comperatore's widow — as another added: "It's so sick. Shameless."
