CNN tracked Trump’s watch to a building in Sheridan, Wyoming—and found strange ties to a “male enhancement honey” company with a similar name.

Last month, Donald Trump announced that he was selling limited-edition, gaudy watches ranging from $499 to the bargain price of $100,000, bragging about their Swiss-made precision.

But a CNN investigation traced the watches’ origin to a shopping center in remote Sheridan, Wyoming, where TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC, the company behind the timepieces, is based. There’s no indication that a watch company is located at the building listed at the address, only a daycare. Its neighbors include an H&R Block, a Wendy’s, and a “vape and hemp smoke shop.”

CNN couldn’t find the people behind the company either, because the business’s location allows it to legally hide those details from the public. The news network found that knocking on the door of the business’s supposed address didn’t answer those questions. Interestingly, the limited liability corporation behind Trump’s infamous gold sneakers is also based at the address, along with other random businesses. The watch company was registered on July 29, only two months before Trump announced the watch line.

    If it’s so plain and simple why can’t they stop this kind of advantage taking? Why isn’t it investigated deeper and exposed?

      Criminal investigations take years and often aren’t announced publicly (otherwise evidence gets destroyed). Sometimes they target investigations too to make justice move faster (and at first only pursue the strongest case)

      Don’t be surprised if it is.

      His biggest issue at the moment is that he no longer has as many friends in powerful places (similar to the mafia), and he keeps abusing people . If you’re going to be a criminal, you can’t abuse 50% of the population and threaten a dictatorship or they’ll be more likely to pursue
