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.
