A Shocking Typo On Trump Watch Ticks Off 'Disappointed' Customers
A Rhode Island couple sounded the alarm this week on a Trump wristwatch they purchased that read 'RUMP' instead. (Watch the video below.) 'We expected that it would have the integrity of the president of the United States and good follow-through,' a 'disappointed' Tim Petit told NBC affiliate WJAR. Petit bought the 'limited edition' pink 'Inauguration First Lady' model from for about $600 for his wife, Melanie Petit. 'Buy it for yourself or for the Trump Woman in your life,' the promo copy says. But the mistake on the logo spoiled the gift for this Trump woman. 'How could they process this and go through something without checking their work?' Melanie said. Tim lashed out at Trump Watches 'for making my wife cry' and got an apology and an $800 coupon after the TV station asked for comment, WJAR reported. A red-faced 'Fight Fight Fight' model, presumably named for Trump's yell after a would-be assassin bloodied his ear with a bullet in July, is also available. Trump got clocked for hawking $100,000 watches on the same site in September ― one of several merchandising ventures that have raised eyebrows. He did video advertising for Trump Watches as part of a licensing deal ― but the company clarifies in fine print that Trump and the Trump Organization do not make or distribute the timepieces.

Rhode Island man bummed out by ‘RUMP' typo on $640 ‘limited edition' president-themed watch: report
What time is it? 'RUMP' time. A Rhode Island man was left crestfallen when a pricey pink President Trump-themed watch he purchased for his wife arrived with a conspicuous letter missing, according to a report. 3 The obvious missing letter from the president's name on the over $600 watch left the couple bummed out. NBC Tim Petit bought his wife Melanie a 'limited edition' timepiece from the website GetTrumpWatches, costing about $640, but when it arrived, the Trump logo was missing the vital 'T' — leaving a prominent 'RUMP' on the watch's face, WJAR reported. '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,' Petit told the local station. 'How could they process this and go through something without checking their work?' Melanie, who cried as a result of the mistake, said. 3 Tim and Melanie Petit each expressed frustration with the apparent lack of quality control for the pricey 'limited edition' item. NBC The 'RUMP' watch was a pink Inauguration First Lady model, which is billed as attracting 'prosperity and love while enhancing intuition and creativity' and is purportedly one of just 250, Trump Watches claimed on its website. After the couple's complaints to the company fell on deaf ears, they went to WJAR with their story. Only after the local station reached out to the Trump Watches for comment, the company offered the Petits a $800 coupon and apology, the outlet said. 3 Trump Watches has a licensing agreement with the president. NBC The Trump Watches are not designed, manufactured, distributed or sold by President Trump, the Trump Organization, or any affiliates. The LLC uses the name, image, and likeness of Trump under a paid license agreement, according to the company website. Trump Watches did not respond to The Post's request for comment.
