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!!”

“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 102 points 5 days 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.

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.

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

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 48 points 5 days ago

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

THEY STILL DON'T BLAME TRUMP. It's fucking incredible. They're literally incapable of thinking he could do something wrong.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago

Who are they blaming? The cheap watch maker, that everyone knows makes cheap watches and shouldn't be surprised at all that the watches that they made are cheap?

Gasp what horrible company would try to sabotage the president like that?

(/s ... in case it wasn't obvious)

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 5 days 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.

Fool me 10 times, shame on you. Fool me 11 times, big shame on you. This 12th deal better be damn good to make up for all that!

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

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 46 points 5 days ago (2 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.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Thank you Trump for my spoonful of shit!

God damn Joe Biden and those fucking demoncrats put shit in my mouth!

Yeah idk — we need a new word that eclipses 'ret*rd' for stupidity. It's time.

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.

Trump: "I can't believe they fell for it. What marooons."

He'll probably sell them toasters that burn down their houses next.

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

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

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.

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

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

Oh no!!! A known con man scammed idiots out of their money? Who could have guessed?

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.

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.

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.

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