A MAGA supporter told how his wife was reduced to tears after he bought her a Trump-branded watch that arrived with a major typo.

Tim Petit, from Middletown, Rhode Island, treated his wife Melanie to a $640 pink limited-edition Trump-themed timepiece from GetTrumpWatches.com, NBC10 reports.

When it arrived, the couple was disappointed to discover that instead of the words “TRUMP” on the face, the watch read “RUMP.”

“I’m very disappointed. I wanted to do a special thing for her,” Petit told the news outlet. “And we expected that it would have the integrity of the President of the United States and good follow-through.”

Honest, this isn't from the Onion.

1. One of them can spell???????

I would NEVER have believed that!

also, the watches on that website are ugly as fuck. Even if they were under $10 it would be a ripoff. Spending $500-800 and up just proves MAGAts are idiots.

2. "And we expected that it would have the integrity of the President of the United States and good follow-through."

What the hell do these people smoke, snort, inject, or absorb rectally to think this prick ever had integrity????

7. "I'm very disappointed. I wanted to do a special thing for her"

So the usual taking her out to dinner or buying flowers and her preferred perfume didn't occur to Mr Husband?

“And we expected that it would have the integrity of the President of the United States and good follow-through.”

Says it all, really. A fairy make-believe tale right there!

You can order anything you like from China, bulk quantities of watches at $10 each landed in your country? Too easy!
(Any brand name you want. Spelling not guaranteed.)

17. The news part is here:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/maga-supporter-trump-watch-b2986816.html

The nonprofit organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington reported that in the first 14 months of Trump’s second term as president, the Trump Store has sold at least 622 new products, costing a total of nearly $43,000.

“This is an unprecedented level of monetization of the presidency, even by the standards of Trump’s own first term,” the ethics group said.

The White House has denied claims that Trump has profited from his time in office.

The Trump Store launched in 2017, early in Trump’s first presidential term, according to the nonprofit. The store brought in a whopping $8.8 million in 2024, which was the year Trump was elected president for the second time, the organization reported, citing Trump’s last published financial records.

The unprecedented abuse of office.

18. it would have the integrity of the President of the United States

It does. Because he doesn't have any integrity
Man I wish I lived near that guy right now
He'd never hear the end of it
He's lucky it says Rump. I thought they'd have carved 'TRAMP'

[twodogsbarking]

19. Would you like T with your Rump?

[tavernier]

20. How is it a typo?

I have called him Rump from day one. Haven’t they seen the picture of him playing tennis?
