In case you haven't heard it being discussed on MSNBC (read'$100,000 for that?" MSNBC's Morning Joe panel loses it over Trump's watch offer)
or elsewhere, Trump is now selling the Trump watch for $100,000.
If you read RawStory there are two articles about it:
and
There are other $100,000 watches semi-rich watch aficionados can buy or already have in their collections. For example, these are from Of course they don't have Trump's name on the front and "fight, fight, fight" engraved on the back.
Here's a dandy example.
Nothing screams "I'm filthy rich" more than wearing a watch that costs as much as this golden super yacht. (Article)
As this is going on we have Melania making the news this way:
Excerpt:
On the same morning (as Trump introduced his watch), Melania Trump appeared on Fox & Friends to promote her new memoir. Speaking with Ainsley Earhardt about Vice President Kamala Harris replacing President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic Party ticket, Melania Trump said people are not able to buy “usual necessities” due to high inflation and her husband was “great for the country.”
“How I see it is, the record speaks for itself. The country is suffering. People are not able to buy the usual necessities for their families,” Melania Trump said. “We have wars going on around the world. Soldiers are dying. They were dying under this administration because of weak leadership. The border is open and dangerous.”
She added that people were “prospering” more under her husband’s administration and argued that everything is “great” when it comes to Donald Trump, but that you’ll have to accept some “strong tweets.”
“I think the American people need to decide what they really want. Maybe some strong tweets, but everything else great for this country,” she said. “SoHe' it’s all in the American people’s hands on November 5.”
It isn't that there aren't a few people who want to curry favor with Trump who will buy these watches. After all, it costs $200,000 to join Mar-a-Lago. This is about narcisstic messaging. However, Trump is supposed to be a master of messaging.
Trump said "It has almost 200 grams of gold and more than 100 real diamonds. That's a lot of diamonds. I love gold. I love diamonds. We all do. Owning one puts you in a very exclusive club." Who can relate to this?
Come on numbnuts, really, who is this message aimed at? How many of these watches does he need to sell to even make it worth his while? He'd need to sell 10 to make a million dollars minus the cost of the watch. The world of Trump is crazy but are there even 10 people willing to shell out 100 grand for.. well... for what exactly?
There may actually by a few MAGA cultists who, for example, bought the golden sneakers or stock in Truth Social who learn about this and realize that they were suckers and that Trump cares about as much for them and their well-being as he cares for a kale salad.
This grift could backfire on Trump like some piece of crap junker car:
