A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place

I am sympathetic to some victims of even fairly obvious scams. This is the other kind:

A man in Rhode Island bought his wife a Donald Trump-branded watch as a gift, but what they got was a “Rump” watch due to an unfortunate typo on the watch face.

Tim Petit paid $640 for a limited-edition Trump watch that is only one of 250 made.

“I thought it was really nice. It was beautiful, and I knew it would be something that she’d like,” he said.

Petit bought the watch after hearing an ad for it on the radio, featuring Trump himself.

“With the president’s voice … I was curious, so I went on the website,” he said.

Petit went to gettrumpwatches.com and picked out the Pink Inauguration First Lady model for his wife.

Melanie Petit said she likes the style, but it’s what the watch is missing – the “T” in “Trump” – that makes it stand out.

“I noticed it right away. The T is missing. It just says R-U-M-P,” she said.

My only regret is that they didn’t lose even more.
