Of course... he ain't Phony Soprano for nothing.
"The former president's new timepieces are the laughingstock of watch aficionados, who cast doubt on their true origins — "as ersatz as the man himself.""

@kurtsh God, these people are so sad.
@jwcph Wanna see sad?
Comedian Josh Johnson humorously breaks down Fat Nixon & I think he really manages to distill it down to one key phrase that demonstrates how extremely far gone the MAGA cult are...
"THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS..."
@kurtsh they are designed to launder money…not keep time.
@kurtsh When I visited Beijing, I noticed these tiny shops that all sold identical red gift boxes. Many of them were quite beat up, as if they had been passed between many hands. I asked my host what they were four. He explained that cash bribery was illegal, but bringing a gift of appreciation was not. The trick is, these shops would gladly take gift returns, paying cash, minus a small handling fee. Since the gift was transferrable for cash, it was as good as a cash bribe, but fully "legal".
These watches are Trump's version of the same scam.
@kurtsh I mean, this was about as obviouss as knowing that Trump is a grifter. Although I do appreciate the Hollywood Reporter for actually getting experts to detail exactly what these devices are, and their true value.
I can't wait for the day where these start showing up on eBay for $500.
