$640 Trump Watch Missing ‘T’: Customers Furious Over ‘Rump’ Timepiece
A Rhode Island man purchased a limited-edition Donald Trump watch as a gift for his wife, but the watch arrived with a significant typo, omitting the “T” in “Trump,” resulting in the word “Rump.” The $640 watch, purchased from gettrumpwatches.com, was one of only 250 produced. While the company, which licenses the Trump name but is unaffiliated with him, initially failed to respond to the couple’s complaint, they have since apologized, offered a replacement, and provided an $800 store credit. The incident highlights a quality control issue and the disconnect between licensed products and the brand’s image.
