Sam Morrison/President Flip Flops

  • Sam Morrison, a 27-year-old photographer and artist based in Los Angeles, started selling flip flops themed after President Trump's contradictory tweets on his website, PresidentFlipFlops.com, back in 2017.
  • Morrison sold out of every pair of Trump flip flops he made in less than a month.
  • You can see Morrison's process and designs from the limited run below.

Sam Morrison likes to create thought-provoking art.

In high school, he made silk-screen shirts and decks of cards with secret compartments inside. But over the last several years, most of his projects were digital - that is, until he had the idea to make physical flip flops out of President Trump's tweets.

"Take a scroll through Donald Trump's 40,000 tweets and you're sure to catch some contradicting opinions," Morrison told Business Insider over email. "I wanted to highlight this hypocrisy."

Morrison had a full-time job in the advertising industry at the time, but he got to work on producing his flip flops. He sourced his own materials and printed and packaged every flip flop by hand.
