‘Morning Joe’ Team Roasts Trump’s $100K Watch Sale: ‘Getting Very Expensive to Be a Supporter’
The hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Friday ripped into Donald Trump’s latest retail offering to MAGA fans: a line of watches that retail for as much as $100,000.
The former president promoted the “truly special” timepieces to followers on his Truth Social platform this week. Morning Joe featured a clip of the Republican nominee shilling the watches in a montage of his marketing efforts for other products, including his NFTs and coins.
“I will say, this is my favorite use of merchandising by a president since Gerald R. Ford sold his own personalized leather football helmets,” Joe Scarborough joked after the compilation ended. “And of course you had Michael Dukakis in ’88, with his push lawn mowers that he signed—but nothing like this. Nothing like this.”
