The majority of reviewers on Trustpilot gave Trump Watches one star.

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

    The timepieces are made by TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC

      You mean his gullible followers didn’t think before they bought them? Shocking.

      What do you mean. The company is called BEST watches! Not WORST watches. Checkmate liberal.

    “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!

    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.

    Is it still a scam if the outcome was obvious ahead of time?

    Surely there is some federal bureau meant to protect American consumers from things like this?

    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.

      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.
