Donald Trump's latest business venture selling high-priced timepieces to his loyal supporters has erupted in controversy, with numerous customers claiming they've fallen victim to what appears to be a sophisticated bait-and-switch operation.
The £75 'Never Surrender' Watch That Never Arrived
Dozens of Trump supporters who purchased the former president's signature 'Never Surrender' watches at £75 each are now speaking out about receiving completely different, cheaper-looking timepieces than what was advertised - when they received anything at all.
One frustrated customer revealed: "What arrived was a pale imitation of the watch I thought I'd bought. The quality was shockingly poor, and it looked nothing like the professional images used in the marketing campaign."
Mounting Evidence of Systematic Deception
Multiple buyers have come forward with similar stories of disappointment and frustration. The pattern appears consistent:
- Professional product images showing premium-looking watches
- High-pressure sales tactics invoking Trump's political brand
- Delivery of inferior products or no delivery at all
- Difficulty obtaining refunds or responses from customer service
One particularly aggrieved customer stated: "I feel completely duped. This wasn't just a business transaction - it was supposed to be about supporting a cause I believe in. Instead, it feels like we've been taken advantage of."
Trump's Troubled Business History Resurfaces
This isn't the first time Trump-branded products have faced scrutiny. The watch controversy echoes previous concerns about the business practices surrounding the former president's various commercial ventures.
Consumer protection experts are warning potential buyers to exercise extreme caution when purchasing from political merchandise operations, particularly those that use high-emotion marketing tactics.
The Fallout for MAGA Loyalists
Perhaps the most significant damage is to the trust between Trump and his most dedicated supporters. Many customers purchased the watches as symbols of their political allegiance, only to feel betrayed by the substandard products.
As one former supporter lamented: "When you pay premium prices for what's supposed to be quality merchandise from a leader you respect, and you get this... it makes you question everything."
The growing number of complaints suggests this may be more than isolated incidents, potentially representing a systematic pattern that could have legal implications for the operation behind these sales.
