The former president can't seem to separate business from politics. Donald Trump recently took the stage at a sneaker convention to hawk his latest product - a flashy $399 pair of gold high-top shoes. This brazen effort to profit off his name sparks questions about Trump's post-White House branding tactics and whether product pitches like this signal a comeback campaign. Critics call the sneakers overpriced and tacky. Supporters say they demonstrate the enduring power of the Trump image to capture attention and dollars. But nearly everyone agrees - like his buildings and casinos, Trump just can't resist plastering his name on products and selling ambitious ideas to the public.
