The ‘T’ is missing. It just says ‘R-U-M-P.’ It says Rump,” Melanie Petit told NBC 6 about a $640 watch she received as a present from her husband

"“I’m very disappointed. I wanted it to be a special thing for her, and we had expected that it would have the integrity of the president of the United States,” Tim, who lives in Providence, Rhode Island, told NBC 6." I'm not sure why he's so disappointed, as this is at the level of integrity one apparently can readily expect from #47.

The most embarrassing part is actually wanting to wear something with Trump's name on it. That's just pathetic.

But I sympathize inasmuch as this lovely couple is mentally unfit rather than convinced MAGA cult members.

Don’t forget, he’s also the guy that buried his second ex-wife on his own golf course just so he could continue to cheat on her.

The analogy I've been using is that trying to keep up with all the Trump scandals is like watching Avengers Endgame while reading Lord of the Rings and Listening to Game of Thrones at the same time.

I bet this would be one hell of a collectible. Limited run of bullshit paraphernalia with an obvious print error about an extremely controversial, transparently corrupt and serial lying felon with an enormous cult following.

Just think in 20-50+ years. People still go nuts about their nazi shit. The price of the watch is high enough that there won't be too many of these in circulation. Unless many of them have this print error, it's something anyway.

The watch blunder comes as the Trump Organization faces criticism over its long-delayed gold Trump Mobile phone, which is priced at $500.

Patrick Holland, managing editor of tech site CNET, who received the phone and spoke to CNN, said it was not made in America as promised, “looks nothing like the original image,” and also gets the number of stripes on the American flag wrong.

*snif*. That’s beautiful.

This whole thing is grotesquely fascinating, but my biggest question is this: did the husband even glance at the watch before giving it to his wife, or did he just hand her the package it was mailed in?

I know that if I gave someone a $650 gift, I’d look it over carefully to make sure it was in good condition, but that’s just me.

all this trump shit will be worth about the same amount as beanie babies. Probably less since grandma and grandpa will need to keep it hidden away in the attic with the other nazi paraphernalia.

Back when the anti-5G hysteria was at it's peak, I wanted to sell cheap latex paint mixed with iron filings as a "high tech" coating that would prevent the 5G radiation from entering your home through the windows at the low, low price of $119 a gallon. (It also conveniently marked which houses the folks selling knives, magazines, and vacuums should visit.)

Sucks having a conscience sometimes.
