Just like the merchants and money changers desecrated the Temple by turning it into a filthy marketplace, Donald Dumb has desecrated the White House by turning it into an Outhouse from which he peddles scams to rip off his MAGA followers, just as his Megachurch Evangelical crooks pilfer their poor-minded "faithful" of their money. Do not be suprised. This is the evolution of a society that promoted snake oil peddlers from the depths of America's ignorance that persists to our time in spite of the thick lipstick on the pig.
It's one scam after another from Trump University to his Bible and Atlantic City real estate disasters with committing treason against his own country by sending his mob to attack Congress and subvert elections. And he's not done scamming Americans and ass-kissing to decadent Arab Emirates. That has been Donald Dumb's entire career, peppered with salacious adultery with prostitutes, sex with porn actresses, underage-girl-rape with buddy Jeffrey Epstein, frequent groping and molestation of women and the whole rest of it.
And now his Trump watch. The con man is a crook, making money while in office with shady products that represent him or use his name and that only his MAGA morons fall for.
But ill-gotten money doesn't last as the Lebanese proverb says: مال الحرام ما بدوم. Ill-gotten money leads to greed and destruction. Proverbs 1:19 states that such gain takes away the life of its possessors, emphasizing the dangers of pursuing wealth through unjust means. Proverbs 10:2 clearly says an ill-gotten gain does not profit. Money gained in dishonest ways will never last in the receiver's hands. That is why Donald Trump's entire life has been one of failure after failure. Conning imbecile peasants from the American hinterland to get them to vote for him is NOT success.

Furious MAGA Customers Say They Got ‘Scammed’ by Trump's Watches

Some MAGA supporters who paid for Donald Trump watches are seriously ticked off. The majority of reviews for GetTrumpWatches on Trustpilot give the company just one star, with some people complaining that it is a “scam.”
The timepieces are made by TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC and range from $499 to $2,999 per watch, or $5,389 for the “Ultra Mega Collector Set.” The president has been criticized for hawking them on cable TV as a government shutdown drags on over healthcare funding.
A Daily Beast review of the site’s Trustpilot profile uncovers a string of poor reviews, with 57 percent of the 30 customers who have rated the watches at the time of publication giving the company just one star. Another 3 percent of reviewers gave it two stars. Trustpilot is one of the internet’s leading review sites, though the Daily Beast cannot independently verify the accuracy of the complaints.
The overall 2.8-star rating appears to suggest a record of over-promising and under-delivering. Reviews cite delays, non-arrivals, and ignored demands for refunds.

Many accounts appear to come from fans of Trump, who does not tend to wear a watch himself.
“My daughters ordered a Trump watch and after 5 months of waiting have not received anything. It’s a shame this company is not holding to President Trump’s high standards. This was a present for my 80th birthday!” wrote one MAGA supporter on July 14.

Another customer, Timothy M. Reynolds, warned on April 29, “DO NOT order anything from these people,” while L.S. wrote on March 21, “Took my money then nothing. It finally dawned on me I was scammed. AVOID ORDERING ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE.”
Another, Michael, posted 11 days earlier, “No watch delivered. Endless lines of ‘customer service’ hollow… responses.”
The outrage is not limited to domestic customers. “Ordered a watch juli 10. Haven’t got it yet,” posted Swede Rainer Lüddeckens on Sept. 5. Mike from Norway posted on June 7, “I plan to sue. This is a scam!”
On Jan. 8 Lemme be Frank, from Switzerland—a country famed for its watches—wrote, “Absolutely horrible customer service. Do not buy any of these garbage products. Avoid like the plague!!”
The $799 limited “Trump Crypto President 47,” released to “symbolize the pioneering spirit of both cryptocurrency and President Trump’s vision for a strong America,” as well as to “[commemorate] President Trump’s historic embrace of bitcoin,” is sold out. / gettrumpwatches.com
The customer criticism is all the more pointed given that Marco Rubio, Trump’s secretary of state, said in 2016, “If he hadn’t inherited $200 million, you know where Donald Trump would be right now? Selling watches in Manhattan.”
But if the negative reviews are to be believed, the 79-year-old’s attempts to corner this market are not going very well.

The Daily Beast contacted TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC on Saturday for comment. An autoresponse warned, “Please note that we may have received a large number of requests and may take additional time to provide you with a response.”
The organization followed up minutes later to thank the Beast for bringing the string of customer complaints to their attention and said the matter had been escalated to its head of customer service, who would “handle the matter and provide… necessary feedback.”
For $899, MAGA supporters can own the “First Lady Rose,” with, it says, “eleven VS1 diamonds [that] sparkle and shine when you walk in the room!” / gettrumpwatches.com
The following day, the head of customer service, a man known only as Ryan, replied to say the reviews seemed to be—what else—“fake” news.
He said “tens of thousands of satisfied people have purchased Trump Watches” and claimed that two of the irate reviewers had since had their complaints resolved.
“On GetTrumpWatches.com, you can see real verified testimonials of people loving their TRUMP watches,” Ryan added. None of the reviews on the website is less than five stars.
Not all the Trustpilot reviewers are furious at the product. Thirty-three percent gave the watches five-star reviews.
U.S.-based dsgreen wrote on July 31—“I LOVE IT! Even my jeweler said it feels like a Rolex.” Fellow American Kathy Millard on May 9 called her watch “WELL WORTH THE WAIT,” and Greg on May 4 praised the packaging and auto-wind movement after receiving his order two days earlier.

But despite some customer positivity, there is a familiar pattern of lofty promises, sliding deadlines, and shifting explanations.
One U.S. buyer, TERRY BARBER, said a limited-edition “Red” model arrived May 31 but began gaining minutes weekly and has been in repair since July 28. A “Horrible company,” he declared.
Another reviewer alleged a $2,999 order placed Jan. 3 was repeatedly delayed through the spring despite refund requests.
In the fine print, the seller warns of long lead times and “estimates only” shipping, which may explain why many complaints center on timing and refunds.
TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC also stresses in its licensing arrangement that it is not the Trump Organization or a campaign.
One thousand $1,199 limited edition “Victory Unlimited Jewel” watches were released to “Celebrate President Trump’s triumphant return!“ / gettrumpwatches.com
It says, “Trump Watches are not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates.”
While Trump appears in the TV commercial for the watches, which is also hosted on the company’s website, there’s no public figure for Trump’s personal cut from the deal.
In another move befitting Trump’s checkered business past, the watches are marketed as “Swiss-made,” but corporate breadcrumbs point stateside. CNN reported in October last year that corporate records for TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC trace not to a Swiss atelier but to a registered-agent address in a Wyoming shopping center.
The site’s FAQs do not name a factory location, while manufacturing origin remains opaque in public materials.
Last Friday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom mocked Trump’s TV pitches for the timepiece, which touted “Fight Fight Fight” models as collectible pieces of Trump history.
The tone-deaf ad landed as Obamacare subsidies are at risk during the federal government shutdown, with health policy research organization KFF estimating that average annual premiums paid by subsidized enrollees could increase by 114 percent if Congress doesn’t act.
Newsom responded with a social media post in Trumpian caps: “NO HEALTH CARE FOR YOU BUT YOU MUST BUY MY WATCH!!”
Selling timepieces is just one of numerous get-rich-quick schemes Trump has reportedly been involved in during his two terms as president.
A New Yorker investigation estimated that by the end of his second term, Trump and his family will have taken in more than $3.4 billion, largely from deals and investments that likely hinged on his presidency.
Forbes pegs Trump’s wealth at roughly $7.3 billion, putting the immediate family’s combined wealth near $10 billion.
The Trump Organization did not return a request for comment.

‘Scammed’ MAGA Crypto Influencer Fumes Over Trump Dinner Disaster

A MAGA crypto influencer who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Trump meme coins to attend a private dinner with President Donald Trump has spoken out against the 79-year-old.
“I look at Trump differently than I did before attending,” Nick Pinto told the Daily Beast in a statement on Tuesday.
Pinto, 25, attended a dinner at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia on May 22. The ticket cost him $370,000 at the time of the dinner, according to the Australian news program Four Corners, which interviewed Pinto on the disappointing dinner for an episode titled “Chasing Trump’s Billions” this week.
In a TikTok video Pinto filmed during the event, he said Trump left the dinner without even eating. He told Four Corners he now realizes “the entire dinner was about making money.”

In January, 200 million $TRUMP meme coins were released to the public. The top 220 purchasers of the coin received access to the “black-tie optional” dinner. At least $148 million was spent by supporters on tickets for the evening, according to Reuters.
The event was advertised as “Have dinner with Donald Trump,” and “the most exclusive invitation in the world” with the “Crypto President!” Protesters outside the dinner held signs saying “America is not for sale” and “Stop Trump’s crypto corruption.”
Pinto, who works as a marketing director at his brother’s law firm, was No.72 on the list of $TRUMP coin leader board after his $370,000 outlay. The Top 25 on the “leader board” of coin purchasers got a tour of the White House and an “ultra private VIP reception” with Trump.
Pinto says he was hoping to get a picture with Trump at the dinner or record a TikTok video with him. Pinto has 407,000 followers on the platform, where his videos have had over 6 million likes. He has 2.5 million followers on Instagram.

“I was hoping to maybe do a trend or some short video with him, maybe 15 seconds,” Pinto told Four Corners. “It’s not going to take much of his time.”
A suited-up Pinto complained on TikTok during the dinner, saying, “Trump came, gave a speech for, I think, exactly 23 minutes, and then he left. His helicopter was right back there, left pretty quickly, didn’t stay for the dinner. Maybe he’ll come back.”
He said on Four Corners he soon realized there was “no hope” of Trump returning.
“He came, didn’t eat, didn’t drink water. I don’t think he even used the bathroom,” Pinto said. “He just left immediately on his helicopter. I would say the entire dinner was about making money.”
In another TikTok video after the dinner, Pinto filmed inside a Lamborghini, where he said “pretty much all he got” from the dinner was a black cap with “$TRUMP” and “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” printed on it. “They gave it away to everyone, they had 220 bags.” The video has now had 1.2 million views.

Another video shows him displaying the cap, along with a poster and a lanyard he received at the event.
When Four Corners asked if he felt ripped off, Pinto said, “I would say in a way, I do feel like I maybe kind of got scammed because it was definitely false advertising. They did advertise it as having dinner with Trump. And Trump did not eat anything at all, at least just drink a Diet Coke with us or something like that [then] we definitely would not have felt like we were scammed by him.”
The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.
Speaking to the Daily Beast on Tuesday, Pinto said he remains disillusioned with the president after the dinner experience.
“I look at Trump differently than I did before attending. I have not been able to get the TikTok I wanted to get with the president and I don’t even want to make a video with him even if he let me.”

However, Pinto admitted he has held onto almost all of his $TRUMP coins.
“I am hoping they announce another dinner or something similar that will spike the price again and I can sell it for more than what I bought it for,” he said.
“If they don’t, I’ll keep holding as I don’t need the funds at the moment.”
Pinto told the Daily Beast his $TRUMP coins were at one point worth $480,000.
The $TRUMP coin is currently trading at $6.26, down more than 3 percent from yesterday.
Pinto revealed he has previously voted for Trump, but has now changed his mind.
“I wouldn’t vote for Donald again, I may consider voting for his children, however, as I’ve met Eric and Donald Jr. and both were humble enough to talk to me,” he told the Daily Beast. “Eric even let me take photo with him on two different occasions.”
Pinto was part of a report by Australian news program Four Corners on Monday, hosted by John Lyons, the journalist whom Trump berated at the White House after he asked how much richer Trump was now than during his first presidency, after his various business deals.
Lyons, who works for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, had been investigating how much wealth Trump has accumulated since becoming president.

Last month he clashed with Trump after Lyons asked him whether a president in office “should be engaged in so much business activity.”
“Well, I’m really not. My kids are running the business. I’m here,” Trump said, before asking where Lyons was from. “In my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now, and they want to get along with me.”
Trump then told Lyons to be “quiet” and took questions from other reporters.
