Ex-president launched new shoe brand after he was ordered to pay $450m in two legal cases
Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg has bought a website address referencing former president Donald Trump’s new sneaker brand and turned it into an anti-gun violence website with the ability to call lawmakers to advocate for legislation.
Mr Hogg, who is now the president of Leaders We Deserve, an organisation dedicated to electing young candidates to Congress, made the announcement on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday.
“I just bought shoptrumpsneakers.com” the activist wrote. “I have redirected you to a page to call your member of Congress. The twist is the person who makes the call is a victim of gun violence whose voice has been re-created with AI to call for gun safety.”
Dumb question: from whom did he buy the domain? I.e. will the proceeds of the sale support the Trump campaign?
I had the same questions from that misleading headline, he just bought a similar domain.

His: http://shoptrumpsneakers.com
Probably no one. Most likely was just a domain with no previous owner he purchased through a registrar
