MODERATORS
 

Some MAGA supporters who paid for Donald Trump watches are seriously ticked off. The majority of reviews for GetTrumpWatches on Trustpilot give the company just one star, with some people complaining that it is a “scam.”

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.” The president has been criticized for hawking them on cable TV as a government shutdown drags on over healthcare funding.

On Jan. 8 Lemme be Frank, from Switzerland—a country famed for its watches—wrote, “Absolutely horrible customer service. Do not buy any of these garbage products. Avoid like the plague!!”

Dumb and dumber

Nobody forced them to hand money to a known notorious liar.

For reference, $5k is about the starting price for a Rolex

Every time i see a billboard with (inser famous sports man) posing in front of a hyuny saying: (famous spirts man loves his Hyundai) i wonder how dumb you have to be if that is the tipping point to buy a car. If you're a fan of this person, you would even know that he doesn't even drive a Hyundai. And what does he even know about cars to begin with.

I honestly don't even know what to think about people who buy cheap watches from a politician. Even if you live in a USA bubble and your reading comprehension is on a 4th grade level and you somehow don't know that he's just con man, you are buying a watch from a politician. Why is he selling watches? Holy shit this planet is doomed

“My daughters ordered a Trump watch and after 5 months of waiting have not received anything. It’s a shame this company is not holding to President Trump’s high standards. This was a present for my 80th birthday!” wrote one MAGA supporter on July 14.

Nope, no intelligence was found here.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 103 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is the closest that recipient will get to a direct interaction with Trump. The only thing that could make it a more accurate analog would be their daughters getting sexually assaulted/harassed, and then called a liar who isn't attractive enough to get sexually assaulted.

Big "If the fuhrer only knew!" energy there.

I'd say that exactly meets the standard

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 1 week ago

It's crazy. Somehow he has gotten them to protect his ego over their own.

It's never him doing it, it's always someone else going against his wishes.

ROFLOL "But those things they kept saying about bad business practices applied to other people and not me".

Temu quality, Rolex prices. Sounds like a Trump enterprise to me.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 49 points 1 week ago

Temu quality if they ever even ship, which doesn't seem to be the case

Do not buy any of these garbage products. Avoid like the plague!!

We all know most of these fools did not in fact avoid the plague.

[–] drspawndisaster@sh.itjust.works 44 points 1 week ago

"Avoid like the plague!!"

MAGA: Okay, got it, I'm gonna intentionally buy them just to try to piss people off with no regard for the safety of myself or others.

They've been treating these things like they treat the plague from the start, actually.

These people are un-teachable. This kind of immunity to learning from experience should be considered a mental illness.

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago (4 children)

"I wish President Trump could be notified how bad this is..."

Even unteachable is somehow too charitable. In the middle of eating the shit he is spoon feeding them, they believe 100% that he has nothing to do with it and doesn't even know about it. These people are absolutely braindead.

I listened to an interview with a Trump-voting farmer who was suffering because of tariffs. She knew tariffs were the problem. She stated repeatedly that tariffs were the problem. She could not bring herself to the logical endpoint in that ultimately this was Trump's fault, instead blaming "the government" for it. They are not ever going to be productive members of society unless they can be deprogrammed from the cult.

No way. Who'd believe it? There's surely no precedent for this.

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This whole situation is setting a really bad president for the future.

TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC lol That's such a scam name I can't understand how anyone wouldn't think it's a scam. It might as well be called TotallyLegitBusinessThatsNotAScam.

Everybody that knows anything about watches knows these come from websites where you can design them in a browser, pick the components and have them shipped from China. Most of them had $50 Seiko NH35/36 movements. Good movements, but you can get them in a much better $200 watch.

[–] MML@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well as long as it can tell my political affiliation does it really need to tell time?

They would vote for him again without question. They would just shrug their shoulders at the polls and write it off as someone else’s fault, convinced trump is getting to the bottom of it for them.

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

And yet they still won't recognise that he's a con artist. FFS.

I wish Pres Trump could be notified to what this company has done to customers.

Why does she think he can't be notified?

What makes her think he doesn't already know?

So many layers of cope.

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I just saw the commercial last week. As an artist you can tell a lot about a person by what they make. Not one product Trump has made has been quality. Gold facades overpriced bibles, poison steaks, chinese hats supposedly made in america, phones and phone plans running on another cell carrier. Nothing. Hes useless.
