MAGA-Loving Couple Outraged After $640 Trump Watch Is Delivered With Hilarious Typo

Tim Petit told NBC 10 WJAR how he ordered a $640 Trump watch for his wife—only to receive a watch that said "Rump" instead.

Never has the phrase "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" been so on-point...

A Rhode Island couple are furious that the Donald Trump-themed watch they spent $640 on came with a glaring typo—it says "Rump" instead of "Trump."


Tim Petit purchased the "limited edition" pink watch, supposedly the "official" watch of Donald J. Trump, as a gift for his wife Melanie from the website GetTrumpWatches.com.

The watches bear Trump's signature and the name Trump where the usual brand marker would be on the watch face—or at least they were supposed to.

Speaking to local news station WJAR, Tim Petit said he was shocked by the incompetence, which he said made his wife cry.

“We expected that it would have the integrity of the president of the United States and good follow-through."

Melanie echoed that sentiment, telling WJAR:

“How could they process this and go through something without checking their work?"

Is this rhetorical, or do you want an answer, Mrs. Petit? Because the tough-love response is: It's because the company knows that anyone weird and gullible enough to buy a Trump-themed watch in the first place isn't going to be paying attention to detail.

Why bother being conscientious when you know you're going to make a mint regardless?

And if the Petits had taken a minute to do any due diligence, they'd have noticed that the watch's website clearly states it is simply a licensee of Trump's name and that the company has no affiliation with Donald Trump himself, his campaign or his companies—despite him appearing in ads for the watches.

IDK man, seems kind of shady and not like the sort of outfit to which you want to just fork over $640, but to each his own!

As you might guess, the internet has had little sympathy for the Petits.




After the news report about this mishap went viral, the company did eventually replace the watch and gave the Petits an $800 coupon for a future purchase. And thank goodness, otherwise they may have learned a valuable lesson, and we know how they hate that.

Lauren Boebert In Hot Water After She's Busted Spending Campaign Funds On Kid Rock Concert Tickets

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert is facing criticism after Federal Election Commission (FEC) records showed she spent over $3,300 of her campaign funds on concert tickets and a hotel in Texas on the same weekend her once-rumored boyfriend—MAGA singer Kid Rock—was performing.

Boebert’s campaign reported expenses for a hotel stay in Arlington, Texas, and for event tickets purchased in May. On May 16, Boebert attended the Rock N Rodeo — part of the Professional Bull Riding Championship World Finals at AT&T Stadium — an event hosted by Kid Rock. She even shared a photo of herself with the singer on social media.
