Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

I bet this would be one hell of a collectible. Limited run of bullshit paraphernalia with an obvious print error about an extremely controversial, transparently corrupt and serial lying felon with an enormous cult following.
Just think in 20-50+ years. People still go nuts about their nazi shit. The price of the watch is high enough that there won't be too many of these in circulation. Unless many of them have this print error, it's something anyway.
Some day, hopefully, a grandkid finds a trunk in his grandparents attic full of MAGA shit and has a crisis realizing that his grandparents are really shitty people.
You'd probably know, or at least suspect.
all this trump shit will be worth about the same amount as beanie babies. Probably less since grandma and grandpa will need to keep it hidden away in the attic with the other nazi paraphernalia.
Just a matter of time and condition man. People will pay money for pristine old things, especially if they are related to major events. Infamy too, not just good things.
I could see this on antique road show and the fact that it has a news article associated with it and it kinda portrays him in a negative light would help establish provenance and make it way more memorable than most bullshit. There's even parallels to the defect of the item and the defect of the administration. Plus the potential wildcard of who knows what will happen in the next few years...
The very fact that he's selling these watches while in officeis, in and of itself, corruption. Why oh why is that not the story, rather than the shit quality of the products?
Good chance you might pick one up at a hock shop for fiddy in a year or so
Yeah it could be a shrewd investment if you can get it cheaply
Nazi shit was cool looking. And not made of plastic. If any of this shit survives it actually might be collectable one day though.
