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.

      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.

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

      The mental gymnastics they’re engaging in to separate “This company” from Trump himself, when the latter is actively promoting them on TV, just like he did with the sneakers sold by yet another opaque shell company with a complex ownership structure in the Carribean.
