C'mon Mr. President-elect; hawking your "victory" Trump watches cheapens the office of the president

Sure, everyone has to make a living, but this?

I can understand that “The Deal” is in Donald Trump’s blood stream, but peddling watches celebrating his “victory” erodes the dignity of the presidency.

When I first saw the ad on television, I felt a mixture of surprise, amazement and disgust. What will be next? Peddling overnight stays in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Oh wait. Bill Clinton beat Trump to it. Hundreds of contributors to Clinton’s presidential campaign were welcomed into the president’s private residence to enjoy a snooze in Abram Lincoln’s bedroom. (Clinton said he wasn’t selling anything; only having his so many friends over for…whatever.)

Back to Trump. His watches—his face adorns many of the models—are pricey. They start at an affordable $499 for the “Fight, Fight, Fight” version and run up to $100,000 for a solid 18-karat gold, 122-diamond beauty with a tourbillon automatic movement. At about three times the cost of a Rolex. (Yes, I had to look up tourbillon too.)

It’s odd that the watches outprice the $20 Timex time pieces that so many of his supporters can afford. Auk, now I’ve given Trump an idea to peddle a cheaper model to rake in millions.

What’s hard to imagine is George Washington, Abraham Lincoln or any other president that comes to mind being a huckster on the side. I mean, Donald, how much money do you need?
