Former President Donald Trump is promoting watches branded with his name, ranging in price from $499 to $100,000, on a vendor website linked in a post on his Truth Social platform. The watches are being sold by TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC under a paid license agreement to use Trump’s name and likeness. The website states that the watches are not designed, manufactured, distributed, or sold by Trump or the Trump Organization, and are not intended for political purposes.
The FAQ section on the website emphasizes that these are the only official watches offered by President Trump and feature a replica of his signature. Critics, including Democrats and a spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris, have slammed Trump for prioritizing personal business endeavors over public service.
Despite his focus on American-made products, the watches include Swiss-made materials. This business venture is just one of many products Trump has promoted in recent years, including a sneaker line, NFT trading cards, branded bibles, and a cryptocurrency platform launched by his family members. Trump’s involvement in these business ventures, as well as the details of the license agreement for the watches, have not been publicly disclosed by the Trump Organization or TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC.
