    This would be REALLY Corrupt if he was President who ALSO Ran every and ALL Agencies that REGULATED this thing! FORTUNATELY Trump is ONLY the President who has Lackeys who Run ALL the Agencies that Regulate this and do LITERALLY WHATEVER he says! So it’s NOT Corrupt!

      Looking forward to a map produced next year by some thinly veiled US-supported NGO that shows corruption in the world and America will still be not corrupt but America’s enemies will be very corrupt.

    Looking at the webpage, it’s obviously a 100% Chinese product licensing the Trump name.

    There are numerous errors on the page, from a processor section that doesn’t list a processor, RAM that’s described as storage, and the boast of a “5000mAh long life camera,” when it presumably means the battery.

    If you ever thought the Trumps weren’t grifters, this should clear it up:

    “Trump Mobile is going to revolutionize cellphones, mobile calling,” Eric Trump told Fox News

    There’s absolutely nothing revolutionary here. It’s a cheap Chinese phone in a tacky case and an overpriced very-not-new MVNO phone service.

      I’m other words, it’s just another example of how not to do business that all the rubes will throw money at.

      Awesome.

      I think he’ll try bigger and simply try to nationalize or end licensing for the big 4.

        Idk the exact number but the camera in my phone probably weighs like a gram or so, so Einstein tells me I’m carrying about 25,000,000 kWh in the camera alone, which if served at 5V would be ~ 5,000,000,000 5,000,000,000,000 mAh.

        Guess I’m winning.

        Edit: mafs.

      Yeah, if they’re not lying it will be the worse phone ever made. The US-made Purism Liberty is $2000 and has similar specs to the Asia-made, $800 Librem 5, which is already overpriced compared to Android devices.

        You are not joking. Comparing a $2000 Purism Liberty with eg. a $200 HMD Fusion. The Fusion has somewhat better screen and battery; much better processor and camera. More RAM, the option of more storage, has NFC. It’s also designed to be easy-to-maintain, but is somewhat thinner and lighter despite having a larger screen area. Are ‘made in USA’ and ‘open-source drivers’ worth paying 10x as much for a noticeably worse phone? (It’s not really ‘made in USA’ either - it’s a mix of US, Chinese and Indian parts assembled in the USA.)

        I think that the people who believe a US-made iPhone will also cost $2k are kidding themselves - economy of scale and all that, but it must be substantially more.

          3 years of security updates, ships with Android 14 and gets two version upgrades, to Android 16, which is the version being released right now. I feel that isn’t the solution either.

          Open source drivers means the manufacturers might not backdoor rootkit. Imagine how much money they’re leaving on the table not being able to sell spying on you?

      Hey, the “building” of a phone is the part where Mercans put in those tiny screws, as suggested by Administration staff. The low-tech stuff, like fabricating doublesided circuit boards and the microcircuit and mucrowave filter parts mounted on them, all that easy cheap stuff can be done by other people to support the screwers.

      For the people buying it, the product itself doesn’t matter. It’s got Trump’s name on it and the money they spend goes to him, so he can “own the libs”

    Dude I hope it’s popular. Imagine the selling point other networks could have:

    New feature: Fash Block.

    We guarantee our mobile network cannot send or recieve calls to any users on Trump Mobile.

      Biometals are way cooler anyways. Copper? Zinc? Cobalt? Molybdenum? Iron? Tin? Manganese?

      All these are essential to our life and provide actual use compared to the utter lifeless and obsolete gold that only serves greed among the ghouls chasing it.
