  • Costs $499 or
  • Made in USA

Pick one. You can't have both.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

Apparently it costs $169 without the T

* Case made in USA, not the phone.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

The awful Trump branding might be laser engraved in America.

Everything else is guaranteed made in Taiwan or china. The US was just barely getting its semiconductor industry back under Biden.

If these things ever ship, I can’t wait for someone to crack one open just to find a bunch of Chinese parts.

Make things bad enough so people work for food.

I’m in favor of anything that makes these dipshits more conspicuous. Trump bumper sticker? There’s no way I’m pulling over to help you if you’re stuck on the side of the road. MAGA hat? Then I don’t have a problem saying no to their perfectly reasonable request.

These people are helping destroy my country, and the Constitution. By continuing to display this propaganda, they’re telling everyone that they’re proud of it. I’ll let them pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Don’t forget:

  • 1776 strikers
  • Gadston flag stickers
  • tattered flag motifs
  • 3% stickers including the III ones
  • 13 star flags
  • any kind of mailbox lettering
  • all bro dozers
  • nra stickers

Headphone jack

Hey, they didn't fuck everything up!

[-] [email protected] 47 points 1 month ago

Thats probably because these are old outdated phones that were dump for good reason.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

Except that they're claiming Android 15, USB-C and 12GB of RAM.

No existing device has that combination of features, plus a headphone jack.

This thing is a fantasy, plain and simple. Nothing about it is real.

Now if only Sony would get their shit together and start making a compact version of the Xperia line again.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Man me too these older sony phones that were perfect and compact for the hand

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Sorry, I meant "that and made in the US", but I get that that's not what I said.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

What phone is made in the US anyway?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Fair, I'm just a fan boy evangelizing

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

They’re morons and don’t know the difference between RAM and Storage. There’s no way it isn’t 128gb storage.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Moto G power comes close. 8gb ram, but has the other stuff. I enjoy moto phones.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

About the only redeeming quality of what is otherwise conservative-themed shovelware tbh. 🤣

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

That's also how you know it's a cheap chinese phone lol, because all the high end flagships don't have headphone jacks (other than Sony I suppose).

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Don’t forget the code to listen in. You get a twofer. Both the motherboard and rump will add surveillance code to listen in.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Another of The Tramp's scams. If it materializes, I bet it's made in China.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Anyone who puts down a “deposit” on this should be declared mentally incompetent.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago
[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

That was fast.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Did anyone really expect them to tell the truth? Lets see what the real specs will be. Maybe it is a repackaged Pixel 3 or 4...

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G according to the article. You can buy a golden one for less than $200.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

From a conman like Trump I expected nothing less but a ripoff.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I wonder if the Museum of Failure has a deposit in

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Didn't Escobar Inc. already try this?

Looking forward to the JerryRigEverything video.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Ew why does it have trumps name all over it. He's actually such a cancer.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Is this provided via T-Mobile or did he just rip off T-Mobile’s logo font?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He ripped off the font, and some are saying it's a slightly tweaked REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which is a midrange Chinese phone T-Mobile already sells for $170 with a T on the back. Trump's T is a bit bigger. Would be fun to see T-Mobile take legal action...

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

They're probably in on the scam.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Don't you know, selling phones is an official presidential act, thus he has immunity.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Maybe it's a Samsung phone and a "Made in USA" sticker, shipped in as components and stuck together in the USA, thus fulfilling both "designed" and "made" in USA even though there are some foreign-made components (2). Then onshore those components bit by bit until the process is complete.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Samsung

It absolutely won't be. Best case It'll be a white label from local Chinese brands like Oppo, worst case -- a no-name company selling 150$ phones on alibaba. I'd put my money on the latter, the margins will be much better.

Great scam for a washed up celebrity with a cult following.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

It’s a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G sold for $169 lol.

Option 2: Lie. When caught, lie about having lied.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

"Components" means in this case the phone and the sticker.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Trump phone is going to join escobar phone.
