MAGA supporter in tears after buying $640 Trump watch
When it finally arrived, Tim Petit presented his wife, Melanie, with the pink Inauguration First Lady model watch. Upon opening it, they were immediately surprised.
“It has a nice little case. It has the pink and little fireworks on it,” Melanie explained to NBC10. However, it didn’t take long before they realized something was missing.
“I noticed it right away. The T is missing. It just says R-U-M-P.”
They were disappointed to find that instead of “TRUMP,” the watch face read “RUMP.”
“I’m very disappointed. I wanted to do a special thing for her,” Petit told the news outlet. “And we expected that it would have the integrity of the President of the United States and good follow-through.”
He added, “An apology would be nice for making my wife cry.”
GetTrumpWatches.com markets the products as “official watches” of President Trump, though the fine print states that the Trump name and likeness are only licensed.
Got it replaced as it read “Rump” instead of “Trump”
The site notes that the watches are not designed, made, or sold by Trump, the Trump Organization, or any related entities.
As of Tuesday, Petit had been trying to reach the website’s owners several times but was not satisfied with the lack of response. However, after NBC10 reached out to the company’s customer service, things began to move.
In the end, Petit got the watch replaced. The company apologized and also offered him an $800 coupon for something else.
