    Even aside from being Trump-branded, how was this not a gigantic red flag -

    The timepieces are made by TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC

    The timepieces are made by TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC and range from $499 to $2,999 per watch, or $5,389 for the “Ultra Mega Collector Set.”

    if you spend over five thousand dollars on a device to tell the time, you are an idiot with more money than sense.

      Well, telling time is one more feature than most jewelry has, and that’s what mechanical watches really are. That’s not even very expensive as far as watches go.

      I sure wouldn’t buy one myself, but I won’t judge anyone for their taste in fashion accessories. In this case I will absolutely judge them, but for entirely different reasons.

      My guess is that Trump was going after the “forth at the mouth for anything with his name on it” audience.

      There are Rolex collectors who will throw $20k at a watch easy.

      That’s not who Trump is trying to attract.

      He’s going after people who buy shit with his name on it because they want to be shown as in the “in group”.

    Lol, the one positive review mentions how it’s designed for “a very small wrist”…

    I wonder if this is just because it was made cheaply in Asia and not designed for the average heft of a trumpet, or if they used Trump’s baby hands for sizing?

      I’m sure it’s this. Everything about this, down to the variable delays that different customers endure, screams out that this is a shady, shoestring operation stalling until they finally hit minimum order quantity with their drop-shipper in China.

    It’s pretty simple; if they’re going to continue getting scammed by him, he’s going to keep scamming them.

    If you buy MAGA shit then you are not being scammed. You are just a fucking dumbass that shouldn’t spawn more dumbasses.

      Conservatives do t understand consequences till they are effected…

      All these grifts do, is slowly chip away at his most loyal supporters, because they’re the only ones even attempting to buy this shit.

    Any word on those gaudy Trump sneakers too?

    I went into the wrong line of business. A lotta money to be made off of MAGA rubes.

    Scammed by trump? How is that possible? He would never! Donny is an honest man who never did anything ever in his life that would hurt someone else. (if white and not poor, and shares the profits with him until they become useless)
