It’s a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G

Chinese company + Chinese manufacturing.

This guy is such a fucking crook.

    So a $130 budget phone that they are selling for 500? Seems about right.

    That phone looks very different, especially the cameras.

    Yeah it's the Wingtech Revvl 7 5g, not the pro. The pro has 4 cameras, the non pro has the distinctive 3 cams.

    Edit: in typical Chinese fashion it seems there are a lot of variants of this phone. It's probably the kind of company that if you order 1000 or so, they can create the exact combination of parts you want.

    But the Trump phone is definitely one of these variants.

    Steve Hou of Bloomberg LP, found the same phone on Amazon. Trump is selling his phone for $499, but it can be purchased on Amazon for $169. It can also be purchased in gold

    Everything is a fucking grift

    Which means you can buy the $169 phone spray paint it with gold paint and sell it to a MAGA fan for $1,000 when the demand goes up.

    The Trump business' press release about the phone purports that the device, The T1, is "designed and built in the United States." The report noted that Apple has a similarly ambiguous claim, "Designed by Apple in California." In Apple's case, however, it has a disclaimer saying that the phones are assembled in India or China.

    How is that "similarly ambiguous"? Neither phone was built in the US; only the Trump phone creators lied and said it was.

    I can't wait to accuse trump supporters of being antifa for not having a trump phone.

    After all immigrants have been forced out, all social safety nets removed, and child labour laws repealed; after the resulting widespread poverty and famine. When Americans have no choice but to work in sweatshops for a dollar a day, then US manufacturing will finally be competitive enough for trump merch to be made in the US.

    Given the price and description, I was always assuming they were going to import a cheap Chinese android phone from a no-name manufacturer and then do the gold paint here and call it Made in the USA, like how other companies do one final assembly step here in order to make that claim.

    Can't wait for Dbrand to drop a dupe skin for the iPhone, that would be diabolical.

    If they ieep grifting their own people this hard, surely there will come a time when their own voters are penniless and thus (in American democracy) powerless, right?

    Not really, them setting up World Liberty Financial is more about their ability to control deeper tiers of the financial system so they can run scams nested within scams and push it all through crypto to hide any trails that might lead to corruption charges one he's "out of office."

    I mean when I first came across it (which was linked from a mass text advertisement from Truth Social in January), this is the quote that stood out to me:

    Developing American First investment vehicles is another step toward our goal of creating a robust ecosystem through which American patriots can protect themselves from the ever-present threat of cancellation, censorship, debanking, and privacy violations committed by Big Tech and woke corporations.”

    Notably the word "ecosystem".
