The small print at the bottom of the page is quite something.

Trump Watches are not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principals. TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC uses the “Trump” name, image and likeness under a paid license agreement which may be terminated or revoked according to its terms. Trump Watches are intended as collectible items for individual enjoyment only, not for investment purposes. The images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product. These watches are not political and have nothing to do with any political campaign

So they are absolute trash.

Bulk ordered from Ali Express

So he's not seen as the one to directly profit from it, but can still make a quick buck on the licensing and play dumb when the watches are worthless crap

Fuck me, at this point I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to just... create a website selling expensive ass Trump shit and in reality dropship it from Aliexpress

I mean there's probably a bunch of people doing it, but I wonder how hard it would be to do it without, y'know, any legal trouble.

Depends if you draw his attention, I can't imagine him not hitting you with a lawsuit

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Oh I don't even live anywhere close to the US, he'd be suing a legal entity that would probably be registered by some sorta service that lets you register LLCs in the US lol

Wait we’re allowed to just declare that something isn’t political? Neat! I declare access to abortions to be non-political as well.

"These watches are not designed to give accurate time and should not be used to tell time or keep track of time."

"TheBestWatchesonEarth" I can already imagine how tasteful the watches are based on the company name

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Oh, so these are AI images of a watch that doesn’t exist yet.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Probably the least political offer I’ve ever read

Neither politics nor candidates come anywhere close to mind
