    Unless he is destroying the watches and saying “oh look, I received these duffle bags of cash”.

    No, no, I think this is just blatant scamming.

      1. Trump gives Joe $1mil worth of Cocaine
      2. Trump manufacturers a watch at the cost of $10/each
      3. Joe buys 10 of these watches for $100k each

      That is how you money launder via purchases. It’s more common to use artwork but you get the gist.

      Foreign nationals are prohibited from donating to Trump’s campaign fund. There’s no rule against them buying a dozen overpriced watches, though. They may not even be upset that their order is never delivered.
