      So he’s not seen as the one to directly profit from it, but can still make a quick buck on the licensing and play dumb when the watches are worthless crap

        Fuck me, at this point I feel like it wouldn’t be too hard to just… create a website selling expensive ass Trump shit and in reality dropship it from Aliexpress

        I mean there’s probably a bunch of people doing it, but I wonder how hard it would be to do it without, y’know, any legal trouble.

      Honestly, better than I was expecting. I was expecting gaudy gold, maybe with some (probably fake) diamonds. You know, Trump’s ugly style. These just look fairly plain and cheap. I agree it does look like money laundering because they’re far from nice, but they’re just not as ugly as I expected.

          It’s essentially a fancy watch spring mechanism. So the open spot on the bottom of the dial is the tourbillion as it unwinds it rotates around.

                the movement of the arm winds it

                That explains why Trump fails his arms around during his rambling speeches.

              Generally yes, like the other reply said it might be automatic and self winding. It’s a style of mechanical watch though so something somehow has to tension the spring that makes the watch run.

    the $500 ones have mineral glass crystals - sapphire coated.

    signature on the dial looks atrocious

        1. Trump gives Joe $1mil worth of Cocaine
        2. Trump manufacturers a watch at the cost of $10/each
        3. Joe buys 10 of these watches for $100k each

        That is how you money launder via purchases. It’s more common to use artwork but you get the gist.

        Foreign nationals are prohibited from donating to Trump’s campaign fund. There’s no rule against them buying a dozen overpriced watches, though. They may not even be upset that their order is never delivered.

      His hands aren’t even particularly small. But he’s an old, fat and decrepit man and he needs a very large and padded suit to give his body some sort of healthy appearance. His hands sticking out of that suit therefore look tiny.

      Seriously, look at the pictures of him golfing in his XXXL polo shirt. The guy is shaped like one of the McNuggets

        I was listening to some interviews with undecided voters.

        Several saying that Trump is a business genius and has what it takes to balance the budget and run the economy.

        These people are “low information voters” who saw a meme in tiktok once, so you can’t really blame them. Still, it’s weird that this impression has sick with him despite him being the worst economic manager in the history of forever.

          I’m not much for watches and stuff. I have my phone, it does what I need and then some. But that is one nice looking watch.

          Simple but elegant.
