Name: <\/strong>Donald Trump\u2019s watch collection.<\/p>\n

Age:<\/strong> Brand spanking new.<\/p>\n

Appearance: <\/strong>Shiny.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong> The most expensive in the range is on sale for $100,000<\/a> (\u00a374,600).<\/p>\n

Quite a lot, for a watch?<\/strong> It contains nearly 200g of 18-carat gold \u2013 buyers can select gold, black gold or rose gold \u2013 and 122 diamonds. \u201cI love gold, we all do,\u201d the former president says, in a marketing video on the website gettrumpwatches.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Who makes them?<\/strong> They\u2019re \u201cSwiss made\u201d.<\/p>\n

Who by though?<\/strong> Hmm, that\u2019s not immediately clear. It looks as though Trump has licensed his name to a company called TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC.<\/p>\n

That famous old Swiss watch company.<\/strong> Anyway, they\u2019re very exclusive. There\u2019ll be a limited run of just 147 of the Trump Victory Tourbillon watch, and each comes with a letter from Trump himself.<\/p>\n

Tourbillon?<\/strong> It\u2019s a mechanism that increases a watch\u2019s accuracy.<\/p>\n

Shame, I wanted to do a Make America Late Again gag.<\/strong> I think you just did anyway.<\/p>\n

Anyway, you\u2019ve got to<\/strong> be a tourbillonaire to afford one<\/strong>. <\/strong>You know you can get the time from your phone? <\/strong>There is also the more budget-friendly Fight Fight Fight model, coming in at just $499, which is water resistant to 200 metres.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time he\u2019s gone into watches, is it?<\/strong> True \u2013 he launched the Donald J Trump Signature Collection at Macy\u2019s in New York in 2005. You may also be thinking of a comment by the Florida senator Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n

What was that again? <\/strong>Little Marco, as Trump called him, said that if Trump hadn\u2019t inherited a fortune from his dad, he wouldn\u2019t be running for president, he\u2019d be \u201cselling watches in Manhattan<\/a>\u201d. I guess he\u2019s now doing both.<\/p>\n

And this is not the first piece of Trump merch <\/strong>made available during this campaign either, is it? <\/strong>No sir. Remember the $399 golden Never Surrender High-Top trainers he launched at Sneaker Con<\/a> in February?<\/p>\n

Sneaker Con indeed. <\/strong>And the $59.99 branded Bibles<\/a> from which he reportedly netted $300,000?<\/p>\n

Very Christian, truly a man of God. <\/strong>Plus commemorative coins and cryptocurrency \u2026<\/p>\n

As <\/strong>Stephen Colbert<\/strong> said<\/strong>: \u201cThe greatest presidents are honoured, they end up on our currency. Donald Trump could end up on our hush money.\u201d<\/strong> Good one, Mr Colbert. Last year, it was reported that Trump made up to $1m from an America First Collection of digital trading cards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear the man went into politics out of a love of public service and a genuine desire to make things better.<\/strong> And great again.<\/p>\n

But this ostentatious gold monstrosity might just be the tackiest thing he <\/strong>\u2013 or indeed anyone <\/strong>\u2013 has brought out, ever.<\/strong> Amen to that.<\/p>\n

Do say:<\/strong> \u201cTime is money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t say (actually, maybe do):<\/strong> \u201cTime to do time, Mr President.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
