What do bibles, sneakers, virtual trading cards, steaks, university degrees, and watches have in common? They are all goods that Donald Trump has sold to his supporters and fans for a quick buck.

The Republican presidential candidate is now hawking luxury watches, made by Tourbillon, on his Truth Social platform for six figures.

There are two to choose from: The Fight Fight Fight for $499, or The Trump Victory Tourbillon for $100,000.

With ‘limited numbers’ of both, Trump told his supporters to move fast.

“These watches are truly special … you’re going to love them,” Trump said.

“Would make a great Christmas gift. Don’t wait, they will go fast.”

Trump sold and lent his brand to an array of bizarre items before becoming president, including steaks, vodka and fraudulent university degrees, but since his time in the White House he has found that his MAGA supporters are more willing than ever to buy his endorsed products.

Derek Guy, a prominent online menswear expert, accused Trump of playing his supporters like suckers by selling an $800 watch for six figures.

NFTs a goldmine

One of Trump’s most famous, and lucrative, ventures has been selling Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to his supporters, who have bought collectable online trading cards emblazoned with his image.

He released his fourth series of collectable NFTs last month and raked in over $2 million in sales, although only 5 per cent were sold.

He has earned over $10 million from the venture, with supporters buying different, digital versions of Trump. No really.

The newest batch included a piece of the suit he wore during the first assassination attempt on his life for those who spent enough, and those who bought the nearly $25,000 collection were promised tickets to a gala and cocktails with the Republican candidate that was held on September 22.

Despite a history of not paying up, Trump dined with purchasers of previous collections on a day off during his hush money trial in New York.

Tour shirts

Following a bitter and one-sided feud with Taylor Swift, following her endorsement of his rival Kamala Harris, Trump released his own line of T-shirts that lampooned those on sale at Swift’s worldwide Eras tour.

He previously accepted a fake, AI-generated endorsement from Swift online, who announced that she would support the Harris-Walz campaign following the first, and potentially only, debate between the two candidates.

The Republican candidate would go on to tell the world that he “hates Taylor Swift”.

Sneakers

Trump’s effort to woo young men didn’t just start with his tour of podcasts, but through a line of sneakers aimed at his supporters.

The $300 sneakers were once again marked with his favourite image: His defiant stand, bleeding from his ear, post-assassination attempt.

Only 5000 pairs, with a bonus of 10 randomly autographed, were created by a company where Trump is president, manager, secretary and treasurer.
