Charlie Sheen got a wedding gift worth even less than a diploma from Trump University.
In an effort to illustrate Donald Trump's “charlatan” sheen, the "Two and a Half Men" star revealed that the blowhard billionaire once masqueraded cheap pewter and zirconia cufflinks as bona fide Harry Winstons.
“I’m reminded of a time about five years ago, I was at a dinner with my ex-wife Brooke (Mueller) … and about halfway through, I noticed Donald staring at my watch,” Sheen said in a “Graham Norton Show” interview.
“He says … ‘I want to give you an early wedding gift as a gesture from me and Melania — and she doesn’t say a word; she’s very sweet and very pretty but just kinda sits there,” he continued. “Anywho, so he says, ‘These are platinum diamond Harry Winston,’ and he pulls off his cufflinks and he gives them to me.”
About six months later, Sheen said, he had a jewelry appraiser take a closer look.
“She took the loupe, spent about four seconds and kind of recoiled from it — much like people do from Trump,” he said. “She says, ‘In their finest moment, this is cheap pewter and bad zirconias.’ And they’re stamped ‘Trump.’
“I just thought, what does this really say about the man that he said, ‘Here’s a great wedding gift,’ and it’s just a bag of dog s--t?”
It’s the strongest stance yet that Sheen, who made headlines in recent months for revealing his HIV-positive diagnosis and becoming the new face of LELO HEX condoms, has taken against the presumed Republican presidential nominee’s trumpery.

On Feb. 27 — exactly six months after he’d publicly petitioned to be The Donald’s running mate — the erratic “Anger Management” star quoted Abraham Lincoln as he urged voters to “wake up” and vote for anyone but Trump.
“I have faith that good and decent people will make the right choice and the circus will leave town before it contaminates the Oval Office,” Sheen told Graham Norton.
