    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.

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

    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.

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

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

      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)
