Pick one. You can't have both.
Apparently it costs $169 without the T
* Case made in USA, not the phone.
The awful Trump branding might be laser engraved in America.
Everything else is guaranteed made in Taiwan or china. The US was just barely getting its semiconductor industry back under Biden.
If these things ever ship, I can’t wait for someone to crack one open just to find a bunch of Chinese parts.
Make things bad enough so people work for food.
I’m in favor of anything that makes these dipshits more conspicuous. Trump bumper sticker? There’s no way I’m pulling over to help you if you’re stuck on the side of the road. MAGA hat? Then I don’t have a problem saying no to their perfectly reasonable request.
These people are helping destroy my country, and the Constitution. By continuing to display this propaganda, they’re telling everyone that they’re proud of it. I’ll let them pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
Don’t forget:
Hey, they didn't fuck everything up!
Thats probably because these are old outdated phones that were dump for good reason.
Except that they're claiming Android 15, USB-C and 12GB of RAM.
No existing device has that combination of features, plus a headphone jack.
This thing is a fantasy, plain and simple. Nothing about it is real.
Sony does

Now if only Sony would get their shit together and start making a compact version of the Xperia line again.
Man me too these older sony phones that were perfect and compact for the hand
Sorry, I meant "that and made in the US", but I get that that's not what I said.
What phone is made in the US anyway?
Fair, I'm just a fan boy evangelizing
They’re morons and don’t know the difference between RAM and Storage. There’s no way it isn’t 128gb storage.
Moto G power comes close. 8gb ram, but has the other stuff. I enjoy moto phones.
About the only redeeming quality of what is otherwise conservative-themed shovelware tbh. 🤣
That's also how you know it's a cheap chinese phone lol, because all the high end flagships don't have headphone jacks (other than Sony I suppose).
Don’t forget the code to listen in. You get a twofer. Both the motherboard and rump will add surveillance code to listen in.
Another of The Tramp's scams. If it materializes, I bet it's made in China.
Anyone who puts down a “deposit” on this should be declared mentally incompetent.
Aaaand here we have it, it's not made in the USA:
'Eventually': Eric Trump admits new mobile phone isn't being made in the USA
That was fast.
Did anyone really expect them to tell the truth? Lets see what the real specs will be. Maybe it is a repackaged Pixel 3 or 4...
It's a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G according to the article. You can buy a golden one for less than $200.
From a conman like Trump I expected nothing less but a ripoff.
I wonder if the Museum of Failure has a deposit in
Didn't Escobar Inc. already try this?
Looking forward to the JerryRigEverything video.
Ew why does it have trumps name all over it. He's actually such a cancer.
Is this provided via T-Mobile or did he just rip off T-Mobile’s logo font?
He ripped off the font, and some are saying it's a slightly tweaked REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which is a midrange Chinese phone T-Mobile already sells for $170 with a T on the back. Trump's T is a bit bigger. Would be fun to see T-Mobile take legal action...
They're probably in on the scam.
Don't you know, selling phones is an official presidential act, thus he has immunity.
Maybe it's a Samsung phone and a "Made in USA" sticker, shipped in as components and stuck together in the USA, thus fulfilling both "designed" and "made" in USA even though there are some foreign-made components (2). Then onshore those components bit by bit until the process is complete.
It absolutely won't be. Best case It'll be a white label from local Chinese brands like Oppo, worst case -- a no-name company selling 150$ phones on alibaba. I'd put my money on the latter, the margins will be much better.
Great scam for a washed up celebrity with a cult following.
It’s a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G sold for $169 lol.

Option 2: Lie. When caught, lie about having lied.
"Components" means in this case the phone and the sticker.
Trump phone is going to join escobar phone.
