Even aside from being Trump-branded, how was this not a gigantic red flag -
The timepieces are made by TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC
-
What do you mean. The company is called BEST watches! Not WORST watches. Checkmate liberal.
-
The generic names really do fool the geriatric
-
THEY CAN’T CALL IT THAT UNLESS IT’S TRUE!
-
You mean his gullible followers didn't think before they bought them? Shocking.
-
-
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".
-
Rolex watches cost up to 10x that and don't even keep accurate time. It's a feature.
-
-
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.
-
Is it still a scam if the outcome was obvious ahead of time?
-
Does the guy (at Wired ?) that bought a Trump Phone got his phone finally ?
-
It is on them for buying one in the first place.
-
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.

This being animated is deeply unsettling.

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)
-
-
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.
-
Marks get marked
-
They've been scammed by Trump watches? I've been scanned by Trump President! What's the common factor here? Hmmmmmm
-
Well yeah they literally bought a watch from a grifter what did they expect hahaha
-
"The overall 2.8-star rating appears to suggest a record of over-promising and under-delivering."
Enough about his presidency, get to the watches!
-
Suckers never learn.
-
100% those watches were made in China.
-
it was only a matter of time they would realize
-
I'm constantly amazed at how stupid and gullible these people are.
-
The headline didn't need the last word.
-
He can’t think of a better scam than selling watches, which will piss off his base? He should just give out a bunch of government contracts to shell companies he owns. Of course I suppose his base will still support him even if they get ripped off for a watch.
-
No, he has dozens of scams going on constantly raking in millions. The more the merrier for him and his ilk.
It's kind of insane.
-
-
Surely it is an honor to be scammed by Trump?
-
lololol
Wow! Who could have predicted this?
At least twice a day
But not necessarily at exact 12 hour intervals as you'd expect.
