It's amazing that, in Joe Biden's Greatest Depression economy, Trump thinks he can sell $100k watches. Makes me wonder if it's not such a hellscape. I don't think too many folks were selling or buying such trinkets circa 1932.

It's amazing that, in Joe Biden's Greatest Depression economy, Trump thinks he can sell $100k watches. Makes me wonder if it's not such a hellscape. I don't think too many folks were selling or buying such trinkets circa 1932.
This must have been JVL's favorite column ever to write. Under the cover of blasting Trump, he got to write an entire Triad about watch talk. I don't really read the watch talk, but I read today. It was like carrot cake for the vegetable-averse; you may not like your carrots, but you know you'll eat some cake. And I will never understand spending luxury car money on something you wear on your wrist that does exactly what my phone does for me - tells me what time it is.
It's jewelry more than a time piece. I would imagine like jewelry, people buy thinking it won't lose value. That probably doesn't apply to the Trump watch.
See, there's another reason why I probably don't get it, then. The only piece of jewelry I own is a stainless steel wedding band. As jewelry goes, then, I'll give watches higher marks for being multi-use. As for these watches, the second you get them wet and they stop working, I imagine they lose whatever low value they may have had.
I'm not a watch nerd but I agree, this was fun. Had no idea that you could build your own watch.
Despite not being a watch nerd I could see myself dropping 40K on a Rolex if I were to ever end up with that kind of spare money lying around. High end watches are more like beautiful jewelry that happen to have a practical use. And I like shiny things.
Elle Reeve ticked someone off she was interviewing at a Trump boat rally... he was complaining about the economy being bad and she said something like it can't be that bad for you since you have an expensive boat and he went ballistic!
I saw that. He screamed at her and said, "I worked hard and did well and no one ever gave me anything." And then she said, sure, but your children must be having a hard time. He screamed that his kids are smart and young and doing better than him. So I guess he said the economy was bad for a lot dumb, lazy people.
I always skip the watch stuff but this was laugh out loud funny, starting with "If I buy a Trump watch, will I get it in time to wear to the next insurrection?"
"I don't really read the watch talk, but I read today. It was like carrot cake for the vegetable-averse; you may not like your carrots, but you know you'll eat some cake." - ha, you and me both!
BTW, you looking to buy some Trump NFTs? Asking for a friend. :-)

You know it! One wonders if they also somehow come with the outrageous delivery delays. I'm still waiting on my Trump Bible and Trump sneakers.
You will get it after Trump's infrastructure week.
Any day now, I'm certain.
I've been told by reliable sources that the delay is the audit on Trump's tax returns.
Smells like money laundering to me. As someone said yesterday, there will be pallets of these sitting in some warehouse in Saudi Arabia.
