    The small print at the bottom of the page is quite something.

      So he’s not seen as the one to directly profit from it, but can still make a quick buck on the licensing and play dumb when the watches are worthless crap

        Fuck me, at this point I feel like it wouldn’t be too hard to just… create a website selling expensive ass Trump shit and in reality dropship it from Aliexpress

        I mean there’s probably a bunch of people doing it, but I wonder how hard it would be to do it without, y’know, any legal trouble.
