Former President Donald Trump is back with another outlandish fundraising gambit: selling a collection of luxury watches, some costing over $100,000. This comes amidst his efforts to portray himself as a champion of working families, creating a stark contrast between his image and the exorbitant price tags.
In February 2016, Sen. Marco Rubio and Donald Trump were rivals for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, and the Florida senator was still desperately trying to convince voters that the former television personality was an untrustworthy “con man.” It led to an exchange during a televised debate in which Rubio declared, while pointing to the future president, “Here’s the guy that inherited $200 million.
But this new merchandising opportunity is wholly unrelated to the GOP candidate’s 2024 political operation. As Election Day nears, Trump isn’t trying to put money in his campaign coffers; he’s trying to put money in his pocket. As regular readers know, Americans have never seen anything like this. A Washington Post report added earlier this month, “No presidential candidate has ever so closely linked his election with personal for-profit enterprises, selling a staggering array of merchandise.
