PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WJAR) – A man in Rhode Island bought his wife a Donald Trump-branded watch as a gift, but what they got was a “Rump” watch due to an unfortunate typo on the watch face. Tim Petit paid $640 for a limited-edition Trump watch that is only one of 250 made. “I thought it was really nice. It was beautiful, and I knew it would be something that she’d like,” he said. Petit bought the watch after hearing an ad for it on the radio, featuring Trump himself. “With the president’s voice … I was curious, so I went on the website,” he said. Petit went to gettrumpwatches.com and picked out the Pink Inauguration First Lady model for his wife. 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. The site also states that it has nothing to do with any political campaign, that the watches are not designed, manufactured, distributed, or sold by Donald J. Trump, the Trump Organization, or any of their respective affiliates or principals. “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.” The couple was initially frustrated because they were having trouble getting a response from the company, but they said the company has since reached out to apologize. The company is planning to replace the watch and offered the Petits an $800 coupon to buy something else on the site. https://www.azfamily.com/2025/05/14...-missing-t-trump-branded-watch-that-cost-640/
