It leaks almost as much as Trump's ass does.
Provided to you by your "Incompetence First" president.
Anyone who bought a Trump phone will probably argue that this is actually a good thing.
“Thank you, Mr President, for letting me participate in your bettering of the country. I believe in your vision and can’t wait to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!! My data will help other countries understand what it is to BE AN AMERICAN! p.s. When is my share of the DOGE money coming? I know you didn’t mean to, but I lost my job and now eat roadkill. This was obviously a mistake and I know you’ll correct it now that you know about it. Call me and I’ll post my account number online for your people to transfer to”
Like did anyone with a brain cell not see this coming?
If it really is just a rebranded Taiwanese phone, it would directly contradict earlier marketing material claiming the phone would be “brought to life right here in the USA.”
Well, technically true, if it's turned on on American soil, no?
Well at least the verge journalist will be happy. He was concerned that it was going to end up being a boring Android phone.
Hardly surprising for the billions of people who assumed, right from the beginning, that this entire enterprise was set up as a scam.
Trump phone? I was surprised this was not The Onion
NGL, I'm surprised Coffeezilla and Critikal both apparently gave up their home addresses for delivery (they bought it to prove its a scam).
This seems like something that would have certainly been inevitable.
It feels like a po box thing at the least, right??
Especially considering that they both likely have PO boxes for fan mail, so it wouldn't even be a matter of getting one, just putting in the address.
I'd guess that the order system denied shipment to PO boxes?
I'm shocked that any physical products ever got into the hands of the people who wanted then, I thought for sure it was a total scam. Apparently I was right, just not in the way I had thought.
Decades ago, bugs were placed by spies to listen to suspects. Today the suspects willingly opt-in by buying such a piece of e-crap dumb*ss "phone". Own fault. 🤷♂️😂
It wasn't leaked. It was bought.
Trump sold it.
Which one? /j
I'm not sure how mentally challenged you need to be to use a Trump anything, even worse if it is a mobile device.
Oh no, anyway...
The non-news is that the Trump family or Trump Mobile has lied about anything one can.
The bad news is that the information on every customer that did order is easily accessible on the open internet.
The good news is that Trump Org lied about the number of people who ordered it so about 20-60x fewer people are affected than expected.
I'm shocked, absolutely shocked. Who could have ever expected something like this, a phone made in the USA that was actually made in China, with all of the smart security decisions they made to place around this device to prevent things like this from happening.
Losers. Each and everyone. Dumbest group on Earth.
Kinda makes you wonder what the world would be like without all the warning signs like hot liquid and cruise control does not drive car huh? I mean yeah, we probably need signs marking minefields, chemical transports, etc. But common sense shit like turn electric off before installation, do not place flammable object in a fire, etc? Darwin weeps.
You should see the warning labels on my lawn mower. They include not mowing over children, and fire. With little illustrations lmao.
Wow, imagine the illustrator reading the request. "We need an ilkustration of a child going into a blade? Like, Fargo detail or Daffy Duck dismemberment?"
Sooo where's the link to the database?
Color me surprised that a grifting pedophilic psychopath has done yet another rug-pull on the morons gullible enough to vote him into office again.
Should be good reading. Be a Shane if any consequences came of this.
feature*
Of course it did lol
Supprised?
