Pretty sure the watches will help generate a lot more bullshit. Easy enough to imagine when you think of the types of people who would buy this (i.e., people laundering money of funneling money to him)
Yup. It’s a shameless grift- but once again, this is not dig at a presidential candidate or political party- seriously- this is personal, about a very specific man who has been doing this kind of shameless pandering and profiteering his entire life. Unfortunately the Republican Party has decided this is their representative.

How long will they let this asshat speak for their party? It’s gotta come back to center at some point. I know there are reasonable and intelligent republicans still out there…please, for the love of god- take the party back!

Back to the original subject matter, I saw this article of the Trump watches online:
It's quite critical
The Fighter is described in the article as; "it resembles a Rolex Submariner described down a patchy phone line" 😀

I'd be interested in knowing the specifications relating to bullshit. For example, how much bullshit per square inch can the watches tolerate from their owners before the watches implode?
You need to slow down there cowboy. Everybody who has ever stepped in bullshit, knows that it defies all laws of physics and can infinitely spread. It’s fact. There will never be specifications.

I see there is a Trump movie: "The Apprentice", which premieres on October 10. I saw this news article online

For months, it looked like the Donald Trump origin story, The Apprentice, was never going to find a distributor after the Cannes Film Festival, as the Trump team threatened legal action to shut it down before it saw the light of day in the US.

It now has a national release date of October 10, and whether you dislike the former US president, or want to see him re-elected on November 5 for a second term in the White House, the two-hour feature film delivers some insights into a young Trump and his rise to power.
Described as a dive into the underbelly of the American empire, the film follows Trump, played by Sebastian Stan, and his deals with the influential right-wing lawyer and political fixer, Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong).

Martin Donovan plays his father, real estate developer Fred Trump, and Maria Bakalova plays his then wife, Ivana.

Positive reviews​

“Stan eases into the role, suggesting the young Trump without venturing into an SNL-like impersonation,” writes Deadline‘s Pete Hammond in an early review after film festival screenings at Cannes and Telluride.

“He captures him precisely and believably throughout.”

However, the film may not tell you much about Trump that we don’t already know having been exposed to a decade of his domination of US politics.
“By this point, Trump and every political pundit with air time has made it abundantly clear who he is and how he got that way,” writes Entertainment Weekly’s reviewer Maureen Lee Lenker.

She says the film “chronicles the rise of Donald Trump as a real estate mogul and his descent into greed, egomania, and moral bankruptcy throughout the 1970s and ’80s”.

I dunno what movie genre it should be placed in..............though horror might be appropriate

The clips I’ve seen portray his early career life as a bit more human than I expect he wants (that he wasn’t always a “genius” and had to fumble his way through like many do on their rise to success). If films like this are done well, they hold a mirror up to the subject- and we know Donald doesn’t like seeing himself as anything but the smartest person in the room.
As far as genre- true crime, self help, how-to for dummies, occult, non-fiction tragedy.
His books all need to be in fiction and sci-fi, right next to L Ron Hubbard.

Wow ....... At first, I thought the orange blob was selling his watch.
Now I realise it's a company peddling an ugly, overpriced watch range using his name as a brand. The advertised watch I saw is like him though ......... no class!
Why not extend the concept and apply the same to seniors nappies, extra strength hair spray, comb over hair tools, self tanning kits, padded shoulder suits etc.

I'm not an American by the way.

I have no doubt that if he were to sell his personal collection (he has some notable watches- suitable for an 80’s era power hungry megalomaniac) they would command serious money. But we all know he never puts his own money in the game.

I think they missed the opportunity to add a complication that would sum up the piece perfectly, it needs a chime that plays circus music

During the design session for the watch, Trump was overheard asking "I've heard about battery powered ones, and people powered ones, are there any coal powered ones?" to which he was politely told no, there were no coal powered watches in the collection. "Because you know how it is with dead dinosaurs. They either are working for you, or trying to indict you. Isn't that right Emil" he said as he playfully elbowed Emil Bove, his senior lawyer.

Ok, I’ll give a nod to Donald, his VC is nice. Even drives the point further that the man knows his watches- this ridiculous offering with his name on it is just sad.

But, TBH, I am not too fussy!

I see this thread drifting towards the launch of the Rudi Giuliani watch

Heel spurs are no laughing matter- those Bally loafers were hell on the feet. He must have suffered so much.

Yes, that will be a duo-face model: heroic mayor and disbarred crazy person.
