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!!”

Isn't it a Trump watch? It'll be right twice a day... wrong the other 1438 times.

An offset clock can lie all day.

No shit Sherlock?

Exemplary product from a Trump point of view then. A scam that relieved his followers of their cash in exchange for trash. He, as usual, is laughing all the way to the bank. This presidency is already stacking up to be far more lucrative than the last one.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's a hell of an understatement. He's more than doubled his net worth through his crypto scam, and all his spawn have become obscenely wealthy. Even Baron is now worth between $200M and $500M.

Now let me see, where did I put my empathy for the people who got scammed? Ah well, it's probably the same place as their empathy for non white, non cis people is. Guess I'll never find it

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

Trump-brand products! 100% scam, or your money back!

Not sure who still buys Trump products other than people who want money to be taken away from them.

Let me guess: the normal sales price for those watches is 99.99 or less.

Wow. I'm impressed. If it is really this clock (branded, of course), he really, really scammed them. Deserves them right. While the amount of features is impressive, I'm not sure how long this thing will work properly, and I wonder about the serviceability. Has someone of the YT clockmaker guys had a closer look at it?

At some point, the low quality of his products should call into question the quality of his leadership and direction.

We're talking about a guy who managed to run multiple casinos into the ground. Casinos. Businesses which at their core consists of people handing you money and you getting to keep between 25-50% of it on average.

On top of that, he was laundering gobs of money through them (the Taj Mahal for sure) and still couldn't manage to keep them afloat.

Running the Federal Government like it was part of the Trump Organization was one of the few promises he actually kept and boy does it show.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

This isn't about quality, or at least that's not mentioned. Even worse, the watches aren't shipping at all.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Reviews cite delays, non-arrivals, and ignored demands for refunds.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Just another MAGA scam.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 months ago

Fell for it again

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Damn. Well, I'm sure the next Trump product will be totally legit and worth the money. Keep spending, dipshits. Those two-headed commemorative coins are only going to go up in value. Get in early!

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

If they re furious at Trump they ain't MAGA, just fake MAGA fools with no sense of value. Real MAGA would not be able to afford baby formula due to this monetary tithe to their living God.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

Complete idiots getting scammed by a con man.

[–] TRAHR@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Quick get the BBB on it!

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

A sucker is born every minute.
