Make gold gross again.
Grifters gonna grift
That’s going to have a wider back door than an onlyfans model.
Is this
Phone service under the direct control of the President of the United States of America 🦋
Small government?
And is this "small government" in the room with us right now?
[Glances nervously at devices]
Yes. Soon it will be small enough to fit inside your blood.
Can't wait to read from which part of China this "American built" phone is made
Yeah, if they're not lying it will be the worse phone ever made. The US-made Purism Liberty is $2000 and has similar specs to the Asia-made, $800 Librem 5, which is already overpriced compared to Android devices.
You are not joking. Comparing a $2000 Purism Liberty with eg. a $200 HMD Fusion. The Fusion has somewhat better screen and battery; much better processor and camera. More RAM, the option of more storage, has NFC. It's also designed to be easy-to-maintain, but is somewhat thinner and lighter despite having a larger screen area. Are 'made in USA' and 'open-source drivers' worth paying 10x as much for a noticeably worse phone? (It's not really 'made in USA' either - it's a mix of US, Chinese and Indian parts assembled in the USA.)
I think that the people who believe a US-made iPhone will also cost $2k are kidding themselves - economy of scale and all that, but it must be substantially more.
Dude I hope it's popular. Imagine the selling point other networks could have:
New feature: Fash Block.
We guarantee our mobile network cannot send or recieve calls to any users on Trump Mobile.
I think this is a great idea. Will make it easy to identify which people I should never speak to again.
Trump really is trying to be hitler. He even invented his own “star of David” in the form of a phone.
Looking at the webpage, it's obviously a 100% Chinese product licensing the Trump name.
There are numerous errors on the page, from a processor section that doesn’t list a processor, RAM that’s described as storage, and the boast of a “5000mAh long life camera,” when it presumably means the battery.
If you ever thought the Trumps weren't grifters, this should clear it up:
“Trump Mobile is going to revolutionize cellphones, mobile calling,” Eric Trump told Fox News
There's absolutely nothing revolutionary here. It's a cheap Chinese phone in a tacky case and an overpriced very-not-new MVNO phone service.
I'm other words, it's just another example of how not to do business that all the rubes will throw money at.
Awesome.
That's all he's ever done. License his name. Trump steaks. Trump water. Trump University. List goes on
It’s stunning how these people can say this stupid shit with a straight face. 😂
Insert parody of Raffi’s banana phone here
This would be REALLY Corrupt if he was President who ALSO Ran every and ALL Agencies that REGULATED this thing! FORTUNATELY Trump is ONLY the President who has Lackeys who Run ALL the Agencies that Regulate this and do LITERALLY WHATEVER he says! So it's NOT Corrupt!
Looking forward to a map produced next year by some thinly veiled US-supported NGO that shows corruption in the world and America will still be not corrupt but America's enemies will be very corrupt.
Americas enemy
So... Greenland?
Looking forward to alarming articles about how Greenland Internet users are rapidly losing freedom because they have to provide a home address to get service or something stupid like that.
So people who have this phone can be ordered by an AI for an organized attack if he is not declared a king?
Eeeewww! I have never seen anything tackier in my entire life, and I'm Balkan!
But it has "5000mAh long life camera". Seems good to me.
I mean, my phone doesn't have that.
Hearing you can download as much RAM as you need on this phone too. CHECKMATE LIBS

Who's network does it run on?
T-mobile
Next: Watch the Trump administration try to force the big national carriers to give preferential treatment to Trump Mobile on their radio hardware
There's no way this isn't an attempt to wiretap people
The 'smart' phones in everybody's pockets already are. Kind of, more or less.
Well perhaps the intention wasn't to wiretap everybody, but it has ended up that way.
Yeah lol the mic is definitely always connected to Palantir on this bad boy
It’s available to preorder now with a $100 deposit
and might actually not even be real because he's a con man
The first 100 customers will be added to the next war plans group chat.
There are numerous errors on the page, from a processor section that doesn’t list a processor
Shit-tier Mediatek. Calling it now.
the whole spec list and image was probably an ai prompt output
Who is still buying all these crappy products? Is it all just bribes from foreign countries?
There are at least 70 million weapons-grade mentally-ill people in the USA, radicalized and stupified with decades of psychological warfare.
trump could sell bowls of diarrhea with his name on it for $1000, and his sucker cultist followers would take out loans to buy it

I can't wait for a month or two from now and the flood of socials screenshots of morons not understanding why their shit doesn't work
No discussion in the article about fraud or conflict of interest.
Why mention it? We all know it, and for his supporters it's a feature, not a bug.

eventually it will be illegal to use anything but Trump products
and at some point Trump to want to be the calendar, too.
edit: and that phone will prolly turn off if you record the police; and I can't imagine the amount of spying on users that that phone must do.
He was pissed to find out Ceaser has his own entire month.
Caesar not only got a month Caesar rewrote the calendar. It was call the Julian Calendar and used for like a 1500 years.
Trump will try to do the same.
Top features:
PATRIOTIC bloatware with Mahjong
Lee Greenwood and Kid Rock ringtones
“Starlink GPS” on the box but it’s hastily scratched out in tear-stained whiteboard marker
