Rhode Island Couple’s Trump Watch Mishap Sparks Quick Resolution
MIDDLETOWN, RI — A Rhode Island couple’s recent purchase of a limited edition Trump-branded watch took an unexpected turn, leaving them with a unique error: the watch face read "Rump" instead of "Trump." Tim Petit paid over $600 for the watch as a gift for his wife, Melanie, after seeing an ad featuring former President Donald Trump’s voice promoting it on GetTrumpWatches.com.
Tim described the watch, featuring a pink design styled after the Inauguration First Lady model, as something he knew his wife would adore. However, Melanie quickly noticed the glaring omission of the letter "T," transforming the intended name into an unfortunate slip.
After receiving an unsatisfactory response from the company, the couple reached out to NBC 10 for help. Following media intervention, the company promptly contacted the Petits, apologizing for the error and agreeing to replace the watch. They also offered an $800 coupon for another purchase. Tim expressed relief at the swift resolution, emphasizing the emotional impact of the gift and the importance of quality assurance in merchandise bearing a notable name.
