Trumpā€™s ā€œSwissā€ Watches Traced to Derelict Wyoming Strip Mall - eviltoast

CNN tracked Trumpā€™s watch to a building in Sheridan, Wyomingā€”and found strange ties to a ā€œmale enhancement honeyā€ company with a similar name.

Last month, Donald Trump announced that he was selling limited-edition, gaudy watches ranging from $499 to the bargain price of $100,000, bragging about their Swiss-made precision.

But aĀ CNN investigationĀ traced the watchesā€™ origin to a shopping center in remote Sheridan, Wyoming, where TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC, the company behind the timepieces, is based. Thereā€™s no indication that a watch company is located at the building listed at the address, only a daycare. Its neighbors include an H&R Block, a Wendyā€™s, and a ā€œvape and hemp smoke shop.ā€

CNN couldnā€™t find the people behind the company either, because the businessā€™s location allows it to legally hide those details from the public. The news network found that knocking on the door of the businessā€™s supposed address didnā€™t answer those questions. Interestingly, the limited liability corporation behind Trumpā€™s infamous goldĀ sneakersĀ is also based at the address, along with other random businesses. The watch company was registered on July 29, only two months before Trump announced the watch line.

    It should come as no surprise that nothing was legitimate about that entire scheme.

      Itā€™s all legitimate. Thatā€™s the issue. Wyoming doesnā€™t give a fuck. You can set up hundreds of llcā€™s in Wyoming that only just connect back to each other or shady law firms. The law firms take their money. Wyoming takes their money. And the rest of the money disappears

        I meant legitimate in the colloquial sense, not in the apparently legal sense in this case. These watches were most definitely not Swiss in origin.

          Ah right. I just assumed they were not Swiss watches lol. Trump could sell an enlarged pyrite plated statue of his cock, lube made from his sweat, and his followers would line up to buy and ride it

            Its mass hysteria. These people have been told immigrants are coming to kill/rape/disenfranchise them for over 40 years and they still believe it.
