Trump-branded wireless service launches — with a gold phone
The announcement represents another chapter in the unprecedented blurring of lines between Trump's personal business interests and his executive authority.www.nbcnews.com
The Trump grift is strong and as tacky as ever. Unbelievable how much these clowns grift off the Presidency. I give it a month before every high-ranking senior official in classified positions will be required to use Trump Phones. It will make it easier for Russia to monitor everything.
Built by Americans screwing in millions of tiny screws in an imaginary US Trump Phone plant. Right next door to the banana factory.
How many MAGA is laying out $500 for a rebranded cheap Chinese phone painted a tacky gold color? Trump phones come with an app to check your court dates and fines balance. IT ONLY TEXTS IN ALL CAPS THOUGH. All your personal info will be pre-sold so you can be grifted immediately.
I wonder which woke cell carrier is this phone roaming on? We know Trump hasn’t built his own cell network
One scam after another with the Trump crime family.
There is a zero percent possibility that the phone described happens.
it is at&t.So far speculation seems to be that it's on a T-Mobile MVNO.
They won't show you the phone. They won't tell you the specs. And they won't tell you where it's being manufactured. Just that the call center would be in the US. Like everything Donald does. Merely a licensing deal using the Trump name. A copycat, over-priced, inferior product to scam his cult.
You now can commit your crimes on a criminal-led wireless network and they won't have you arrested! And it includes 3-way calling 24/7.
Because Russia will be monitoring all of your calls
Also "Reach out and touch someone" might not be a very good tag line for a Trump product.
Everything Trump sells or is sold under his name is expensive JUNK.Been with Mint Mobile 5 years now..
They say it's $15 a month if you buy a year's worth so 180.. but it's actually like $203 with taxes and fees..
Still a good deal compared to many phone plans.. sure a hell of a lot better than his $47.45 a month!
Thought the same thing. Clearly Obama should have named the phones himself rather than letting republicans choose the name. Then they would have been totally cool with it. Right?Remember when the low cost “Obama phone” (which never actually existed as a branded phone and was basically the Lifeline program that’s existed since Reagan) was a nonstop talking point on conservative radio 12+ years ago? How much they ridiculed the poors for getting “Obama phones”??? I remember.
It's a low-end* Chinese phone, almost certainly manufactured in China at the moment. IF there's enough demand, they could stand up a U.S. factory because these things normally sell for < $200 retail. So there's enough profit margin there to assemble it domestically. But I doubt there will be enough takers for this thing, or that they'll ever manufacture any in the U.S.**They won't show you the phone. They won't tell you the specs.

Obama phones with any name would have still got shat on by the GOP. Free phones with free service for poor people? That goes against the core values of the Republican Party. Calling them the Obama Phone just made the GOP hate them that much more.Thought the same thing. Clearly Obama should have named the phones himself rather than letting republicans choose the name.

Of course there will be millions of takers; never under-estimate MAGA ability to spend their last dime on junk.It's a low-end* Chinese phone, almost certainly manufactured in China at the moment.

Apparently they are now saying they will be built in America 'eventually'. (lol no they won't)Obama phones with any name would have still got shat on by the GOP.

They'll all get behind the Trump phones because they're not free and Trump will make a ton of money. I suspect these are super low end Poco phones with gold paint and a flag on them. And I suspect many MAGAts can't wait to be customers of Trump Mobile.
I read somewhere his sons claiming these are made in America, sadly the cult won't even question that. The irony of the phones being bottom barrel Chinese phones with an American flag on them is hilarious to me.
Apparently they are now saying they will be built in America 'eventually'. (lol no they won't)
There is no way they are selling a phone with the reported specs for that price. Either the specs will go down or the price will go up or, maybe most likely, nothing ends up showing up at all. This is yet another scam.

Well, we all know the reason he left early wasn't the conflict in the Middle East. It's what he's always hated the most, not being accepted and and considered an equal with the other elites. Trump may want to take a few etiquette classes to brush up on getting along with others he not equal with. When you never had to submit to anybody in your entire life, it's sort of hard to get along with other people.Canadian PM "shuts off" Trump as his press conference goes batshit.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney interrupted a question and answer session with Donald Trump at Monday's G7 summit before the U.S. president got too much into the weeds discussing ICE raids on "blue cities," according to CNN correspondent Kristen Holmes.As Trump began to rehash his usual...www.rawstory.com
Roll call of leaders who said something utterly fucking stupid today:

Good on Carney not letting it turn into a circus (In public anyway) because Trumps in the middle of a dementia episode. "Don't let the sun, go down on meeeee! ..."
Not underestimating MAGAts. My point is there would need to be some real consumer demand for production to move to the U.S.Of course there will be millions of takers; never under-estimate MAGA ability to spend their last dime on junk.
It's a sub- $200 low-end phone. Although I don't disagree with your assessment, it could be economically feasible to produce it domestically and still turn a healthy profit at $500.Apparently they are now saying they will be built in America 'eventually'. (lol no they won't)

Both Weaver and a second expert, Max Weinbach, an analyst at market research firm Creative Strategies, independently told CNN they believe the T1 phone looks like a version of the already available Revvl 7 Pro 5G, made by China-based Wingtech, which provides manufacturing services for smartphones and other products. The phone retails for around $169 on Amazon.
...
“There (are) only realistically four or five smartphone ODM (original device manufacturers) that would actually be able to manufacture something like this,” Weinbach said. “All of them are based out of China.”
The phone might be overpriced... but at least you can go on their plan for a 60% premium above competitor prices. Win-win.....Not underestimating MAGAts. My point is there would need to be some real consumer demand for production to move to the U.S.
A few million one-time sales isn't going to cut it. Apple sells over 200M iPhones annually, and has a firm grip on the U.S. market.

But yeah you're absolutely right; it's just another grift and they're barely pretending to look respectable.
