Donald Trump gets a lot of news coverage for his outrageous behavior. (Present company included.) It’s pretty exhausting. At least we can all catch a break from the insanity during the commercials. Until now.
The latest White House grift comes in the form of watches. The leader of the free world is not content with ripping off the American people with outrageously skewed economic policies. He won’t even stop at hawking hideous red hats. Now he wants you to buy his watches.

This is so on brand, it’s impossible to parody. The QVC-quality commercials are running regularly on ultra-right news network Newsmax. Who know if sales are up yet, but there are plenty of people who we know won’t be putting in their orders.

We’re officially in some sort of absurdist dystopia plotline in a second-rate movie.

It still amazes me how gullible the rubes are.

What a laughable country imagine the president of your country flogging watches. It’s like some sort of cheap little nasty side store that sells crap to people who couldn’t afford anything better. Trump and his golden oval Office says it all. Zero taste. Zero democracy. Zero.

Not that Trump would ever seek to profit from his office. https://t.co/3F06nqX68e
