Trump scam Number 1,051: Trump Phone

[JLW]

Nearly 600,000 Trump supporters paid £74 ($100) each towards a gold smartphone that, nearly a year on, does not exist.

The Trump Mobile T1 phone was announced in June 2025 by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump as a patriotic alternative to Apple and Samsung, retailing at £370 ($499) and promising a 'Made in the USA' build.

An estimated 590,000 buyers paid a £74 ($100) deposit to secure one, collectively handing the venture roughly £43.7 million ($59 million). As of May 2026, not a single confirmed customer has received the device. Now, a fresh wave of anger is spreading across MAGA forums after buyers received communication making clear that their money is, for all practical purposes, gone.

MAGAs Are Fuming After Email Confirms They Will Never Get Their $500 Trump Phones or Deposits Back

Nearly 600,000 Trump supporters paid deposits for a gold smartphone that remains undelivered, sparking outrage and calls for investigation into Trump Mobile's practices.

The bottom line here is that Trump looks at his supporters as saps and marks. People too stupid to make up their own minds and easily led. Mislead them about cryptocurrency, election fraud lies, phones or wars and they don’t care. MAGAs are and will also be sheeple and easily conned. Trump knows this.

The next Trump scam is always coming around the corner.

And will probably never exist.

He's getting rich, and he's seen his second term as that, and only that.

You know what they say about fools and their money. Trump’s favorite saying, I am sure.

$60,000,000 in the Trump coffers and all it took was a simple lie about a phone.

I guess it's important to have a flexible sense of the truth...if you're a Trump cultist~

Nearly 600,000 Buyers Paid $60 Million for a Gold Trump Phone That Has Never Arrived

Trump Mobile's T1 phone, launched in 2025, has yet to deliver to customers, raising concerns over deceptive practices and prompting calls for a federal investigation.

www.ibtimes.co.uk

The clearest signal yet that buyers may never see either a phone or their money came with a revised terms of service published on 6 April 2026. The updated document states explicitly that paying a deposit 'does not constitute a completed purchase and does not create a binding legal contract.' The payment is described as 'a conditional opportunity to buy the device if Trump Mobile eventually chooses to sell it,' with the company retaining all control over whether a phone is produced at all.

The terms confirm that deposits will not accrue interest, are non-transferable and carry no independent cash value. Buyers who wish to cancel must submit a request through customer support before any final sale is completed. If Trump Mobile cancels the project outright, it says it will issue refunds of the original deposit amount. The fine print adds, however, that the company bears no liability for delays caused by 'parts shortages or hold-ups with regulators,' and that buyers waive any right to pursue claims beyond the original deposit figure.

Investigative journalist Joseph Cox of 404 Media, who attempted to place a deposit when pre-orders opened, found the process immediately chaotic. His card was charged the wrong amount, no shipping address was ever collected, and a confirmation email arrived promising delivery notifications that never came. Cox called it 'the worst experience I've ever faced buying a consumer electronic product.' He subsequently reported unauthorised recurring charges being levied against customers' cards.

Android Authority, which placed its own deposit in 2025 and has tracked the story since, wrote in January 2026 that it fully expected to 'never get a phone' and 'never see the $100 deposit again.'

The 'Made in the USA' Claim That Quietly Disappeared​

The T1 was sold from day one on the strength of a single, politically loaded promise: it would be built in America. Within days of the June 2025 launch, that language vanished from the Trump Mobile website. 'MADE IN THE USA' became 'American-proud design,' then 'Brought to life right here in the USA,' language that supply chain experts noted was legally and commercially meaningless.

The Trump Phone gets a slight refresh, but it's still a gold slab with no launch date or final price. Incredibly, the carrier is still collecting $100 deposits despite having nothing to show for itself.

https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1402011-trump-phone-cancelled-outrage-grows-over-delays-and-deposit-concerns

One post stated: “Trump Supporters are flipping out because Don Jr & Eric have allegedly scammed them & took all their deposits for the Illustrious Gold Trump phone which they’ve never received & probably never will. They also didn’t read the fine print because there’s no refunds on them period!”

Another user wrote: “So, the Trumpers who signed up for the $500 Trump phone YEARS ago and have still not received them just got an email saying they will NEVER receive them and.....wait for it.....wait for it...... Trump's keeping their deposit.”

A third post noted: “In regards to Trump Phone, this came from you. Yes, reports from buyers and multiple outlets confirm that pre-order customers for the Trump Mobile T1 'golden' phone (announced ~2025 with ~$100 deposits, full price around $500) received emails this week stating the devices won't ship and deposits are non-refundable. No phones have been delivered after months of delays. Fine print noted risks, but complaints are widespread.”

Although some customers and social media users are describing the project as cancelled, Trump Mobile has issued no official statement confirming the cancellation of the T1 smartphone program.

Once more S L O W L Y --Your ignorance has no bearing on the subject. What you have heard of or not is irrelevant...if you are so stupid as to not be able to do the internet search necessary to find out the truth, you are too stupid to vote, IMO.
But you can, and that's our problem, eh?
