Donald Trump has never met a grift he couldn't work on his fanbase, and as the clock is ticking as he awaits sentencing on November 26th, what better way to way to get some last-minute lawyer's fees than by selling ugly gold-plated watches for six figures in a blatantly obvious money-laundering scheme?
Meet the new grift, aka the "Official Trump Watch Collection.”
This is a real presidential candidate running for the real presidency of the real United States of America.
The “Trump Victory Tourbillon” watches (which are available in what they claim is gold, as well as in rose gold...for the ladies) are priced at $400 on the low end and go up to $100,000, based on how dumb and rich his supporters might be.
The watch features are described as “classic sophistication combined with Trump’s symbol of success: Gold.” The case back features a personalized thank-you message from Trump himself, as if he's standing with the jeweler having them engraved.
There's also the “Fight Fight Fight” version for $499, including one color in "MAGA red." The back of that watch features the (first) post-assassination attempt image of Trump, with his widdle fist in the sky. The copy from the website reads, “With its timeless design and flexible style, you’re ready for any situation, just like President Trump!”
Despite Trump sharing the ad on his failing Truth Social app, the website claims it “is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign.”
