    It’s an Onion story made real about a couple named the Petits.

    Melanie Petit said she likes the style, but it’s what the watch is missing – the “T” in “Trump” – that makes it stand out. “I noticed it right away. The T is missing. It just says R-U-M-P,” she said. The Petits are wondering why a watch with such a glaring error was allowed to be shipped out. “How could they process this and go through something without checking their work?” Melanie Petit asked.

    “I’m very disappointed,” Tim Petit said. “I want it to be a special thing for her. And we had expected that it would have the integrity of the president of the United States and good follow through.” The gettrumpwatches.com website calls its products the “official watches of President Trump,” but in the small print, it notes that it licenses the name and likeness.

    […]

    “I think that someone needs to be aware of it [the mistake] in their licensing department, that someone’s dropped the ball big time,” Tim Petit said. “And an apology would be nice for making my wife cry.”

      get rid of the T on the chicago trump tower so it says RUMP tower

      One day I saw a post of somebody’s middle finger with a Trump-branded building in the background. I checked out the account and the guy must have posted at least one of those a week. As I scrolled down I realized I had seen a few because they appeared in my feed because he kept getting lots of likes for that pathetic shit. That was ~6 months ago. I assume he’s going to keep doing it year after year because libs will never tire of it. I don’t understand them.
