> [@smithsb](#): > > And the grift goes on. A watch priced way above the usual target’s pocketbooks. It’s just amazing that on one hand he keeps telling his fans how the economy is terrible, they can’t afford gas or groceries. Then on the other hand he says “you wanna buy a watch?”. The way he weaves fascism, racism, and bizarre ranting with infomercials for bibles, NFTs, coins, picture books, and now watches is really remarkable. ---

This reminds me of a recent political issue commercial I’ve been seeing. It starts out about how awful it is to afford buy groceries, and keep gas in your car. Then? The Democrats wanna’ take away your menthol cigarettes! The bastards right? All that jumps to my mind is maybe you ought to quit smoking? Or maybe smoke non-menthol? I mean really, if groceries and gas are expensive and you can’t afford them how do you afford such a _very expensive_ habit? And I’m aware of addiction and it’s very difficult to quit, but that commercial just begs the viewer to consider the cost. And really, menthol? They just can’t smoke non-menthol? Another ad is comparing it to the decades long moratorium on Marijuana. Too funny. ---

About the watches: “A disclaimer on the website says the vendor, TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC, “uses the ‘Trump’ name, image and likeness under a paid license agreement.”. That’s very last minute, IMHO. Also, they are Swiss-made. So not in America. ---

Interesting observation this morning on Maddowblog: > [@](#): > > In February 2016, Sen. [Marco Rubio](https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/marco-rubio-election-2024-trumo-vp-rcna153084) and [Donald Trump](https://www.msnbc.com/donald-trump) were rivals for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, and the Florida senator was still desperately trying to convince voters that the former television personality was an untrustworthy “con man.” > > It led to an exchange during a televised debate in which [Rubio declared](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/rubio-vs-trump-selling-watches-zinger-inspires-merch-sort-n526356), while pointing to the future president, “Here’s the guy that inherited $200 million. If he hadn’t inherited $200 million, you know where he’d be right now? Selling watches in Manhattan.” > > More than eight years later, the line is relevant anew. > **[Why Trump’s newest merchandising opportunity is so ridiculous](https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trumps-newest-merchandising-opportunity-ridiculous-rcna172986)** > > The Republican candidate has launched an astonishing number of merchandising opportunities lately. The $100,000 watches are arguably the most outlandish. ---

> [@Folacin](#): > > I believe menthol cigarettes are traditionally popular among Black smokers, so possibly a reverse dog whistle sort of thing As far as I know, menthol cigarettes have always been the same price as straight cigarettes, so that would have to be the callout. Perhaps menthols are more addictive because of their numbing effect? ---
