      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.

        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.

        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.
