• Trump phone

    From Dos@VERT/DOSBBS to All on Thursday, May 14, 2026 16:14:47
    Where are the Trump phones? 590,000 Americans paid $100 dollar down payment to get 'The greatest phone in the history of phones'. $59,000,000...and nobody has phone. The Trump family has $59,000,000 and there hasn't been a single phone delivered to anyone. A GOLD 'Made in America' phone...THE BEST PHONE EVER!!!!! People are asking 'Where's my phone?' Hmmmmmmm, hey MAGA, do you guys have any idea what's going on?? Surely the Trumps aren't scamming us...if anyone can find out what's up let us know.

    Thank you!

    They'll be here in 2 weeks. Apparently, it's now a 2024 T-Mobile
    Android phone made in China.

    From an article I read, the official website says they are now ready to ship. That should make some of the folks in FIDO POLITICS happy.

    It's hard to find something 100% made in the US, especially electronics, since a lot of electronic components are made in China.

    I find no claim ready-to-ship. Instead, a lot of "maybe"s:

    "Deposit Purpose

    "A preorder deposit provides only a conditional opportunity if Trump Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the Device for sale. A deposit is not a purchase, does not constitute acceptance of an order, does not
    create a contract for sale, does not transfer ownership or title interest,
    does not allocate or reserve specific inventory, and does not guarantee that
    a Device will be produced or made available for purchase.

    "A binding sales contract is formed only if all of the following occur: (1) Trump Mobile makes the Device available for sale; (2) you complete checkout; (3) you submit full payment; and (4) Trump Mobile accepts and successfully processes payment. Until those conditions are satisfied, no enforceable agreement for purchase exists. No Price Lock or Promotion Guarantee

    "The deposit does not lock in pricing, promotions, service plans, taxes,
    fees, shipping costs, or other commercial terms. Final pricing and offers
    will be disclosed at the time of purchase..

    "Estimated ship dates, launch timelines, or anticipated production schedule
    are non-binding estimates only. Trump Mobile does not guarantee that: the Device will be commercially released; regulatory approvals (including FCC authorization) will be obtained; carrier certification will be secured; production will commence or continue; or delivery will occur within any specific timeframe. Trump Mobile will not be responsible for delay, modification, or failure to release a Device..
    No Guarantee of Network Compatibility or Performance

    At least, the $100 deposits can be refunded by request:

    "If you cancel your deposit before completing a purchase, you may request a full refund. Refund requests must be submitted through Trump Mobile customer support prior to completion of a final sale. If Trump Mobile cancels or discontinues the Device offering prior to sale, Trump Mobile will issue a
    full refund of the deposit amount paid. Deposits do not accrue interest, are non-transferable, and have no independent cash value except as expressly provided in these Terms or required by applicable law. Approved refunds will
    be issued to the original payment method and may take several business days
    to process, depending on your financial institution and other events outside our reasonable control. Exclusive Remedy; Limitation of Liability

    I was going by what was said in the article. Didn't check the website. I have now seen other articles and news stories about how it is "coming," and that it appears to be based on a phone (made in China) that is already available in the USA via T-mobile for considerably less than this gold-painted version.

    It was probably assembeled in the USA, A lot of components are maufactured abroad, then assembled in the USA.

    I heard California passed a law saying you can't label a product as "made in the USA" if a certain percentage or higher of its parts were not made in the US. I heard of this because I follow some guitar forums, and Fender (guitar maker, located in California) was affected by this, because now they can't label their US-made guitars as made in the USA. Apparently they're labeling those guitars with "Coronoa, California" now instead.

    it's not really IMPORTANT; people just like to hang onto shit trump says.
    like when he made a typo people were making mugs and tv shirts.

    He could have been told that it was made in america. It could be a deal fell through. and like i said, things can be 'made in the usa' but be entirely comprised of foreign parts.

    It was probably assembeled in the USA, Alot of components are maufactured abroad, then assembled in the USA.

    The phone? No, if you read about it, is is a model made and assembled in
    China starting in 2025. T-Mobile has it on offer, but not in special Trump gold, for significantly less than the rebadged Trump T1.

    After it was announced that it would start shipping, a company in China
    even trolled them about it.

    Of course Synchronet offers that. Not really the point.

    Then they shouldn't have advertised it as MADE IN THE USA, when it's
    readily obvious that it's a knock-off chinese phone.

    I suppose they finally took the call from Trump's own FTC reminding
    them of the rules regarding MADE IN USA claims.

    So, what's the interest over 10 months on 59 million dollars?

    I didn't pay a now, non-refundable deposit for a phone that advertised
    the following, but is a chinese-made phone available on Amazon for
    $126.

    "MADE IN THE USA!"
    "DESIGNED AND BUILT IN THE UNITED STATES"
    "Proudly American"
    "American-Proud Design"
    "brought to life right here in the USA"
    "designed with American values in mind"
    "American hands behind every device"
    "all-American performance"

    And, my phone shipped. And I'm using it. Unlike the people who paid a deposit for a Trump phone months ago and still haven't received one,

    Yeah, they went pretty all-in with the initial advertising. It is
    difficult to ignore that.
