Remember that wonderful, sleek, golden Trump Made In USA phone "designed with American values in mind"?
It was going to cost only $499 for the phone and $47.45 a month for service. 47.45, get it?
The catch was, you had to put $100 down to reserve your phone ahead of time. You would receive your phone by August 2025.
Here's the link for that beautiful, terrific, life-changing, MAGA phone made of the bestlies materials on God's green Earth: https://enroll.trumpmobile.com/phones
Well, it's been a year now...and no phones. And a lot of people are out their down payments.
590,000 suckers.
$59 million worth of down payments.
Apparently, Trump's idea of "American values" is to rip off suckers who deserve to be lied to, which I guess technically really is a longstanding American tradition.
The phone web site originally claimed the phone would be "MADE IN USA", but that disappeared and was replaced by "designed with American values", which appears to mean "MADE IN CHINA". Literally.
Within weeks, Trump Mobile reportedly altered language on its website, replacing 'Made in the USA' references with softer wording that described the device as being 'designed with American values.'
.
Trump and his sons have raked in a cool $59 million off this particular scam.
This guy called it right out of the gate last year:
Gee...I wonder if Kash Patel will prosecute.
...paging the Poodle Room...

'Made in America' Claims Under Fire
Early marketing for the T1 repeatedly emphasised that the phone would be built in the United States, a major selling point for many conservative supporters who pre-ordered the device. However, technology analysts quickly questioned whether such a product could realistically be manufactured domestically, given the lack of large-scale smartphone assembly infrastructure in the U.S.Within weeks, Trump Mobile reportedly altered language on its website, replacing 'Made in the USA' references with softer wording that described the device as being 'designed with American values.'
