MAGA Couple Duped by 'Limited Edition' Trump Watch: 'The T Is Missing. A $640 Rump Watch'
A Rhode Island couple says they were scammed after paying $640 for a limited-edition Donald Trump-branded watch, only to receive a timepiece that read "Rump" instead. Tim and Melanie Petit of Middletown, Rhode Island, purchased the watch from after hearing a radio ad featuring Donald Trump's voice promoting the product, 10 WJAR reported. The couple was drawn in by the "limited edition" appeal, believing the item to be high-quality and officially endorsed. Tim ordered the pink "Inauguration First Lady" model as a gift for his wife, but upon opening it, Melanie immediately noticed a glaring error—the face of the watch was missing the letter "T," spelling out "RUMP" instead of "TRUMP." "I'm very disappointed. I wanted to do a special thing for her. And we expected that it would have the integrity of the President of the United States and good follow-through," Tim said. Despite being marketed as a luxury item tied to the former president, the couple was initially met with silence from customer support when they tried to report the issue. Frustrated by the lack of response, the Petits contacted local news outlet NBC 10. Within hours of the station reaching out to the company, the couple finally received a reply. "We would like this corrected properly and quickly," Tim said. "An apology would be nice for making my wife cry." They are now hoping for a full correction, refund, and an apology, calling the experience a major disappointment. While the website claims to be the "official watch of President Trump," the fine print reveals the products are only licensed under his name and not produced or managed by Trump or his organizations.

About 45 minutes into the journey, a flight attendant reportedly raised the alarm after noticing shady behaviour near one of the plane's emergency exits. Torres was confronted by the flight attendant and asked if he had tampered with the door. That was when he got out of his seat and marched back over to the door. read more on planes FROZEN IN TIME Inside abandoned airport where planes have been left to rot for 50 years Shocking footage taken by a fellow passenger shows Torres shouting that he was 'taking over this plane' and that he would 'kill every man on this plane.' The crazed passenger then lunges at a flight attendant, trying to stab them with a broken metal spoon. Torres beat the flight attended three times around the neck, according to federal prosecutors. Passengers then tackled Torres and he was restrained with the assistance of flight crew. Once the plane landed at Logan Airport the man was detained. Torres later told the cops that he had wanted to open the door to jump out of the plane - and said he knew many people would die if he did, according to charging documents. Bomb alert on Ryanair plane carrying 170 passengers as holiday flight lands in Belgium & 'cordon set up' Torres has pleaded guilty to the attack, admitting to one count of interference and attempted interference with flight crew using a dangerous weapon, according to the office of Massachusetts US Attorney Leah Foley. This comes after a passenger was tackled by fellow flyers after attempting to pull the plane's emergency exit lever while at 35,000 feet. The Plus Ultra flight 701 was heading from Madrid, Spain, to Caracas , Venezuela on 28 February when the incident took place. The Airbus A330 was about halfway through its journey, flying high over the Atlantic Ocean when the man became "restless". A Plus Ultra spokesperson said: 'A passenger began to feel restless, annoying the person in the next seat with shouts and slapping him while he was asleep. 'The crew acted quickly, calming the situation between the two and relocating the passenger to another seat where he could not disturb anyone. 'Moments later, this individual suddenly went to one of the doors of the plane trying to manipulate it. 'Immediately, our cabin crew subdued the passenger and, following the action protocol, secured him in the back of the plane until he reached the destination. 'At all times he was accompanied by two people from the crew, lying on the ground and attended to avoid any possible altercation.' The passenger was reportedly detained after the plane landed in Caracas. It is unclear exactly what prompted the man to try to open the plane door. It is nearly impossible to open modern plane doors after they have reached around 10,000 feet. This is because the difference between the internal cabin pressure and the outside air pressure effectively seals the doors. Some aircraft have a special flight lock feature that mechanically closes the door after the aircraft reaches a certain speed.
