Trump’s Newest Grift Just Dropped—and It’s Hideous

    A broke Donald Trump is now peddling the absolute ugliest watches.

    Donald Trump has never seen a silly little item he didn’t want to peddle.

    Yesterday, it may have been assassination-themed sneakers, NFTs, or Bibles, but today it is watches. And of course, the Republican presidential nominee promises that “these Watches are truly special.”

    As he lags behind Kamala Harris in fundraising and with Truth Social stock plummeting, Trump is desperate to raise money for his campaign and legal fees any way he can.

    Trump promoted the ugly new merch on Thursday morning, encouraging customers to “Join President Trump’s Watch Community” and “Be a part of history.” 

    The “Trump Victory Tourbillon” watch is for sale for the low price of $100,000 and is available in gold or rose gold. It features “classic sophistication combined with President Trump’s symbol of success: Gold.” The caseback features a personalized thank-you message from Trump himself.

    Alternatively, if you can’t drop that much for a limited-edition watch, you could always grab the much less grand “Fight Fight Fight” watch for $499, including one color in MAGA red. The back of this watch features the image of Trump, post–assassination attempt, with his fist in the sky. The copy of the website reads, “With its timeless design and flexible style, you’re ready for any situation, just like President Trump!”

    Despite being shared by the former president on Truth Social, and like the heavily marked-up “Trump Coins” he introduced the day before, the website claims it “is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign.”

  2. Another day, another grift. It’s starting to creep into his brain that he’s going to lose, and needs all the cash he can scrape up to flee the country, or pay lawyers, or whatever.

  3. I_like_baseball90 on

    Guess how many MAGA morons will pay those prices for a watch.

    Zero.

    Although I have no problem with these buffoons giving Mango all their money.

  4. Saw it, thought, *ugliest, most garish knockoff I’ve ever seen,* read article; IT’S FOR REAL, people! (Or so he would have you believe.)

    Thing practically screams “LOUNGE LIZARD” at the unsuspecting. All he needs to peddle now is the sleazy Qiana shirt missing the top three buttons, and the gilded heavy link chain to accent your real-manly chest hair. And, of course, a revival of that utterly vile “Success!” cologne/insect repellent thing in the industrial strength spray bottle.

    Good gods, does it even *get* any tackier?

  5. I just linked this article to my daughter and got this back

    “if we could jettison Trump and all of his products and brands and lineage straight into the sun, I would pay to do it”

    We are not fans.

  6. Or you could buy this even fancier watch for $56.78:

    “I know what sells and I know what people want.” (*Playboy*, March 1990)

  7. “Trump Watches are not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principals. TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC uses the “Trump” name, image and likeness under a paid license agreement which may be terminated or revoked according to its terms. Trump Watches are intended as collectible items for individual enjoyment only, not for investment purposes.
    The images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product.
    These watches are not political and have nothing to do with any political campaign.”

    No effort grift.

  8. Watch as foreign actors that can’t legally donate to US campaigns, line up to buy boxes and boxes of influence .. I mean watches.

  9. The Terms & Conditions on all of these Trump grift websites are hysterical. I’ve now read through the Trump Sneakers and Trump Watchers T&C pages, and in no uncertain terms they both spell out the same core principles:

    * All sales are final
    * Prices and product descriptions cannot be considered accurate or binding
    * You cannot sue us or bring class action lawsuits against us
    * We will not honor any form of warrantee or quality assurance

    Basically they describe a storefront which allows you to access a one-way mechanism to send Trump money in exchange for a non-binding promise that you might someday receive a product that will hopefully be similar to the ones you see on the website, but if the promise is not fulfilled it is your problem.

    “Have you ever wanted an uglier-than-Walmart-brand watch for *literally* 10,000x the price? Then you’re in luck!”

    edit: I feel so unreasonably certain that it wont even keep time well

  11. This isn’t a grift. His supporters aren’t putting up $100k for a watch. This is straight up for foreign influence

  12. AncelinDouvetel on

    How do you know it is not a ploy to get 1.000.000 dollars from Saudi Arabia or any foreign powers by “buying 10 shitty watch overly priced”?

  13. This shit from him is so normal now. Can you imagine any other ex president who would lower himself with all this tacky chicanery. It’s embarrassing. As a Brit on the outside looking in he has made a total mockery of your country. That it is even possible that this snake oil salesman was elected president and may even be elected again is incomprehensible. It’s going to take generations to wipe this shit stain from your flag. I pray he is not elected come November because the consequences are unthinkable.

  14. Just wondering out loud:

    Could this be a way to bypass FEC rules and funnel money from rich people into his campaign with no trace?

  15. My son, who repairs and builds watches, located the movement in seconds.

    It’s a Chinese made movement costing $212 before bulk discount. The face is $5. 

  16. Turns out Little Marco was spot-on when he said that without his father’s seed money, Trump would be selling fake watches in Times Square.

  17. This is essentially a way to circumvent illegal donations. How is he allowed to do this?

    Nevermind. It’s America. That’s how.
