Who will be the first on their block with a MAGAphone?

[Moonglow]

Yep.....how dare Trump try to offer the public alternatives.
The guy refuses to take his pay....yet you dipshits feel his company has zero right to earn.

Would you rather he take cash from the Chinese and Ukraine like Biden?

How about carving out a secret annual multi-million dollar grant from the government like Obama?

Trump gets paid like any other stiff, what he does with his dough is his business, but don't lie and claim he doesn't get paid.

 

[Moonglow]

He's selling watches too.

Grounds for impeachment here folks.

• Ethical Considerations:
  • While not always illegal, using the White House to sell political merchandise is considered unethical and a violation of the Hatch Act.
  • Some argue that it is unethical for politicians to sell merchandise of any kind, especially for their private benefit.
  • Using a public office for private gain or endorsement of a product is also against ethics regulations.

Trump is a criminal and convicted felon; there’s no limit to Trump’s corruption and criminality – this grift is yet another example.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

I admire entrepreneurial spirit when I see it. This is cynical opportunism capitalizing on the elected office he holds and his cult following. Imagine how proudly the rubes will display their MAGAphones in circles where such things are viewed as a status symbol, and not falling victim to a grift.

So a voluntary purchase.

He donates his check to various departmental agencies.

Every other president since Clinton left office a multi-millionaire.

Trump seems to lose money while president.

He also did so during his first term, donating his salary to various federal departments.

Maybe someone who can’t afford a thousand dollar Apple IPhone will consider it.

Blimey, he's certainly got you triggered!!

 

[Captain Caveman]

Good for them, that's not a bad price point

but I am an Apple person, I don't like Androids....so they won't be getting my business

The opposite with me, Android all the way and I stick to Nokia. I prefer the freedom of the phone and software.

I'm holding out for the Tesla phone...

I just bought a new blanket this morning---sends smoke signals much better than the old one.

 

[Captain Caveman]

He's made hundreds of millions, not including his billion-dollar crypto scams, from his various grifts.

And the flock crows about how he doesn't take a presidential salary. Incredible.

You have to hand it to him: He saw opportunity and took advantage of it.

Blimey, I live in the UK and a quick Google reveals the phone is launched by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. In fact, it's just a licensing agreement at that too.

Man, Lefties are gullible with equal measure of stoopid.

He does donate his presidential salary. He’s not allowed to just not get paid it.

It'll crash.

If memory serves, I believe Obama dropped his phone over a joke that backfired. I wonder if he'll by a Trump Phone

Let's see a show of hands from the people here who don't already own a smartphone.

Trump Organization announces mobile plan, $499 smartphone​

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/16/trump-mobile-phone-plan.html

If you have a blindly loyal following with a cultish level of devotion to you what better way to capitalize on their adoration than selling them a phone plan?

I thought trump's crypto scheme couldn't get more grotesque as an example of profiteering on the position he holds but as usual I have under estimated his capacity for grifting.

The good news is while Trump peddles his wares America is a better nation by every metric that matters when compared to what Joe’s America or an Indian Vagina America would have looked like.

 

[Moonglow]

He gets paid just like everyone else.

 

[Couchpotato]

He gets paid just like everyone else.

By law yes. But he does donate that money every year. Stating that fact won’t get you kicked out of tne “I hate all things Trump” club.

Hilarious NFTs, cheap sneakers, cheap watches, dodgy memecoins, a bible he's never read, a total of 168 pieces of drek between Election Day and his Inauguration...

Is this guy the President of a Third World country?


And now he's hawking...cell phones.

"I'm not the President of the United States, but I play one on TV, and I'm here to tell you about a terrific new cell phone you can buy from me, Donald Trump, the greatest game show host of all time. This beautiful phone can reach Jupiter and comes with The 47 Plan (47, get it?) which will cost you only $47.45 a month. (47.45, get it?)"


The best part is...the web site is broken. It doesn't work.

PERFECT!

I'm not going to link to it, you can find it for yourself.

I went there to pre-order a phone, figuring it will be a valuable collector's item one day, and the site is poetically broken. As soon as you start filling out your pre-order information, it locks up. If you enter your email on the flash page, you get "Request failed".

If you manage to figure out a workaround, and get to the pre-order form, you get "this page has expired" when you get to your phone number.

Many of his products, including his clothing line, are made in China. I wonder how a $499 cell phone can be made anywhere else other than China.

Will he exempt himself from his tariffs?

So the trump organization lead by the presidents sons is selling phones and not engaged in selling off access to the president from foreign leads like Hunter did and you are upset? Weird

I had hoped Elon Musk would be first on this one. It would have been a perfect fit since he has all those satellites.
