CNN tracked Trumpā€™s watch to a building in Sheridan, Wyomingā€”and found strange ties to a ā€œmale enhancement honeyā€ 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 aĀ CNN investigationĀ traced the watchesā€™ origin to a shopping center in remote Sheridan, Wyoming, where TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC, the company behind the timepieces, is based. Thereā€™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 Wendyā€™s, and a ā€œvape and hemp smoke shop.ā€

CNN couldnā€™t find the people behind the company either, because the businessā€™s location allows it to legally hide those details from the public. The news network found that knocking on the door of the businessā€™s supposed address didnā€™t answer those questions. Interestingly, the limited liability corporation behind Trumpā€™s infamous goldĀ sneakersĀ 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.

    My money is on it being a way to get around political donation limits - if youā€™re buying a product, you arenā€™t donating. Elon can buy a handful of these to give out to his buddies, and it doesnā€™t count as donating a million dollars to Trumpā€™s campaign.
