Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Furious MAGA Customers Say They Got ‘Scammed’ by Trump Watches (www.thedailybeast.com)

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!!”

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?

I don't know for sure if it's this one specifically (probably not) but the Chinese are cranking out things just like this by the bucketload, nonstop. They'll make them to order with the options you specify, incorporate your own visual design elements, etc. for a small setup fee and then run off however many thousand of these you want for mere peanuts.

Edit: Actually, what I really want to know is if Trumpski paid his tariffs on his Chinese knockoff watches. I'll bet you he didn't.

Given how inherently corrupt he is, he probably didn't.
