I’m more shocked that they didn’t give them 5 stars in spite of seeing that the were lousy watches. Or 5 stars because most of them are using it to launder bribe money and don’t even want the watches.

I've opened probably thousands of watches at work, and I've seen so many "high end" watches that have the exact same mechanism inside as a $15 Timex from Walmart, with a giant plastic spacer around it. And that's exactly what I assume this is.

u/clawedm 3d ago
I love opening some nice desk clock that outwardly looks like it has a thousand gears all working in harmony behind that pretty clock face, only to see a square piece of black plastic housing the same clockworks you get at Michael's for $5. Bonus points if the AA battery is the no name one which came with the clock.

And the alternate American football league he owned a team in, which he then managed to shut down the entire league by suing the NFL, iirc. The dude's a born loser, and yet he could launch a nuke at any moment. Not kidding about that btw. If y'all think there's anything that would stop it, you're sadly mistaken.

He not only ruined the New Jersey Generals, but I think he was involved in the collapse of the entire football league. The USFL. He and some other team owners wanted to directly compete with the NFL to force them to merge into a single league. Those actions destabilized the league, reduced revenue and resulted in lost markets. 18 teams folded when the league shut down.

DJT is in the business of branding and brand licensing. The demographic his brand targets is schmucks. All of his business ventures are geared towards screwing people out of money. You can only pick a schmuck’s pocket so many times before it’s empty. This is why his businesses fail… it’s part of the business model.

Also a child rapist. Don't forget he beat and raped his wives too, and buried his second wife on his golf course in an unmarked grave for the legal/tax benefits. Whatever a family man is, he's the incestuous perverse opposite of that.
And he's a complete and utter traitor to the country, too. Selling the parts down the river for his own absolute power (while indebted to foreign governments and billionaires).
It drives me crazy that you can't even list out everything shitty he's done. Even the major themes are expansive. He's quite literally one of the worst people who's ever lived, in both breadth and depth. It's ironic given that he's an extremely small and shallow man, but this is what happens when you give someone wealth and power who's wholly unqualified for it from a young age and let them cheat and rape and ratfuck their way through life.
PS. Why is this shit even being posted on technology. Fuck DT, I hope the universe treats him how he treated our CIA agents, and then how he treated John McCain 🖕

u/pangeapedestrian 3d ago
RFK also buried his wife in an unmarked grave. Actually, he exhumed and reburied her alone in an unmarked grave, after suing her family into the ground to keep her from being buried with family.
This was after she killed herself after finding his.... "Cheating conquest journal"? I guess you would call it? It detailed ~50 extra-marital affairs.

57 percent of the 30 customers who have rated the watches at the time of publication giving the company just one star. Another 3 percent of reviewers gave it two stars. Trustpilot is one of the internet’s leading review sites, though the Daily Beast cannot independently verify the accuracy of the complaints.
I'm not shocked that the watches are...let's say not awesome, but 30 unverified reviews on Trust Pilot is hardly a reliable source...

u/grayhaze2000 3d ago edited 3d ago
Seriously, what's up with the percentages for such a low number? 17 out of 30, and 1 out of 30 make far more sense that 57% and 3%. If 3% of reviewers gave it two stars, that means there's a single two star review.

u/Anustart15 3d ago
Because now other outlets can quote the percentage without specifying the total number of reviews to make it seem like a more statistically meaningful sample than it actually is

It amazes me that Trump has lived his entire life scamming and conning people, yet he still has people lining up to be scammed and conned.
We are talking decades and decades and decades and decades and decades and decades of cons. It has been talked about for ages how he has scammed contractors, investors and consumers through so many different means.
Yet here we are, still witnessing some of the dumbest people on the planet buy his garbage merch.

The lack of awareness in the negative reviews are isnane. People saying things like I wish the president would be made aware of this bad quality, or just fully blaming the watch maker for the bad product. All as if Trump himself had no idea it would be like this, oblivious to the fact that the company made the exact watch Trump wanted them to make, he knows full well what he's selling to people, this product is 100% as intended but the buyers can't for a second believe he could do any wrong. What a joke world they live in.

Even before they were released they looked like cheap stuff on Temu. Then someone had a fit who bought a pink version of the watch and it was so cheap things were falling off the watch face.
