California Gov. Gavin Newsom has continued his social media attack on Donald Trump, this time deriding the president for selling luxury watches on cable news. At the same time, the U.S. government remains deadlocked in a shutdown.
“NO HEALTH CARE FOR YOU BUT YOU MUST BUY MY WATCH!!” Newsom wrote in Trumpian all-caps on X in response to a commercial for the president’s watch brand that is currently being run regularly on Newsmax.
In the promo in question, Trump stands in front of the Stars-and-Stripes in a wood-panelled room and says: “Hello everyone, it’s President Donald J Trump and it’s Trump time. Check out this ‘Red Beauty,’ it’s one of my new watches. “Wear it proudly on your wrist and everyone will know exactly what it’s for, who it’s for, who it represents. It’s really going to be something special, it’s for your favorite president.
Get your watch today at GetTrumpWatches.com. These make a great gift. It’s Trump time!” The watch in question is part of Trump’s “Fight Fight Fight Collection” and features a ruby red face with three dials, the slogan “Trump 45-47” (marking his two presidencies), and a copy of his much-discussed signature. It retails for $499 and is one of numerous models listed on the official website.

"... The Trump Organization or any of their respective affiliates or principals." They just licensed his name.
I did a quick search, and the watch movement in the $499 model is a Japanese made Seiko NH35 (so it doesn't say "Swiss made" ), and it sometimes sells on AliExpress for $20 to $40, or as much as $60 to $80 elsewhere.
Their slogan is: "Wear the name. Own the legacy."
