  • To use the phrase “Swiss made” on a watch requires at least 60% of the production occur in Switzerland, 50% of the movement made and assembled in Switzerland, and technical development and final inspection must occur in Switzerland, but the trump watches only say “Swiss Made Tourbillon” and his tourbillon watch actually does use a Swiss made BCP Tourbillon T02 movement, BCP confirmed it to the Swiss press.

    The other cheaper Trump watches say they are using Seiko NH34 and NH35 movements, which are good but standard movements that you can get in $200 watches.

    They likely put these watches together on a watch building site where they clicked the parts they wanted then sent the specs off to be made in China.





  • A couple thoughts…

    It is talking about President, but counts years where those names appeared on the ballot as Vice President too.

    It also ignores that a lot of other people have also been on the ballots over the years.

    Also, some of this is natural. When a president has an 8 year run, the Vice President is a natural person to take a shot at the presidency, so it’s perfectly normal to have 12 years where the same person is on the ballot as VP then P. It’s natural for this to happen more than once in a row. Whether we’ve had this long of a streak or not, I don’t know, but I suspect we might have.

    This showerthought covers 44 years. The Bushs and Clintons double dipping is 12 years worth of ballots, but the other 32 years were natural. Hilary lost when she tried to double dip so I would argue the 8 years of Dubya are really the only anomaly in actual presidencies as far as “dynasties” are concerned.
