As PT Barnum said, 'there's a sucker born every minute'

That’s some pricy toilet paper.

Hillarious! Saw him shoot baskets while prez...looked like an 8 yr old girlie boy! NOT a basketball player for sure!!!

One bad investment. It will be worth pennies once Barr brings the ring of crime to his doorstep. Tic Tock.

A 15,000,000.00 home exchanged for homeless in LA.

Anything to help with his 15 million dollar Martha's vineyard purchase.

I knew there was a Sucker Born every minute, but this takes the Cake!

I thought they Banned saying Man-Holes? so the tee shirt sold with bug bite windows strange this world today, hahahahha

Trump will.soon tell us how much his Jersey went for. 'More, way more'. (trump voice)

They were cum stains.

A fool and his money...

How much for Trump's gaunch?

Of course. He needs to maintain his wealthy lifestyle.

There's a sucker born every minute.

I miss BarackObama 😭

Trump has a lot of stained clothes he would like to sell.

That's a lot more than when pathetic realDonaldTrump bought a portrait of himself with charity money ;-)LOL .

There is a sucker born every minute.

I am from china,I strongly suggest that we should make a deal with Trump,we can exchange them,so that we both will have a peaceful life

Very 'Newsy' CNN Nice legacy Nancy

Trump will have a conspiracy theory about this in 3....2....1.....

I wonder what Trumps used bone spur ointment would get?

does it count as 'game-worn' if you sat on the bench the whole game?

Some Fool with a lot if money to waste! Should have handed $10 to all the homeless on the Streets of L.A.!

Those holes and stains have young character.

My only take is why? Who in their right mind would pay that for his jersey.Just saying...kidkohls72

President Trump MAGA HAT $25. Looks much better when worn outside

I did not subscribe to CNN but they sure do appear daily on my Twitter

Stormy Daniels is selling the condom trump used when he fucked her! Asking $130k!

That’s cool... but why was it stained?

Dont tell realDonaldTrump pres 45 played BB or he might just shut the NBA

Some people have more money than brains.

I’m guessing President Trump scored more than Obama?

Are there any pictures of a pregnant Michelle Obama?

That’s expensive toilet paper

Kenya had a high school basketball team?

My friend was on that team with him. He was a shitty player and was always high on weed.

And he sat in the bench

This man was a President, A Leader and so much more.

without looking im sure the subhumans that fear melanin will be commenting while their fuhrer destroys the US. race is a fabrication

Stinks too I bet

SNAP, he only got 44 BOOM!

0 dollars for obamashi(r)t

Joe bought it and now he sleeps with it each night.

You can buy car rags cheaper at Wal-Mart...

The worst President in history. Fact

It seems like all your stories have holes in them

I wonder what Trump's game worn McDonald's bib, with the ketchup and mustard stains, is worth?

Good grief! Why? Thousands of better things to spend that money on!

Give the jersey a peace prize.

stupid people spend stupid money on stupid things that no one would ever want... NOW if they had the grades that might be worth something... or the registration

“Obama was America’s most basketball obsessed president” - CNN

Meanwhile... Amazonia is burning...

Can you please report on the Amazon Rainforest. It's on fire right now and it appears that not many people know. Now is the time for media coverage on this

It was fun having a cool, competent, decent man as president, wasn’t it?

What do you mean ...holes included ? You must mean ' unstiched' or ' Unattended'. They could not have sold the Obama jersey without holes,after all!

A fool and his money....

Better than a stained blue dress I guess.

Yea the POTUS just gave another quarterly $400,000 or so to an amazing charity or cause.. you sure don’t talk about that huh?

Ate they sure it was really his. I'd be questioning it's authenticity since this entire fake Russia hoax is under his administration. The only question is what did he and Biden know.

Does it come with his mom jeans, and ‘nerdy white guy’ jump shot?

Should of saved your money

Only an idiot would pay that much money for racist Obama’s high school jersey.

That crappy jersey will be his single and only legacy as President.

How much would they get for trump’s tennis shorts?

Not worth a 1$ in my eyes.

Hilariously irrelevant reporting. Well done again

Seriously...did He really save his high school basketball uniform all these decades? Really? Who does that, after living at 32 different addresses as an adult? He moved it all those times Or was this a scam auction for some kind of payoff? Inquiring minds want to know.

No one cares

Oh puke! 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

CNN did camp out till the early hours to capture this image of the High bidder

was it donnie?

While democrats live in tents and crap on the sidewalks some jerk has $120,000 to waste on an old shirt. Vote for democrats, they have so much money you crap on sidewalks and live in tents. Funny how that works.

Yeah I’d want to stay anonymous too!!!

Trump probably bought it and is wearing it under his suit as we speak. 😂
