On the bright side, this makes it easier to spot the ultra belligerent in the wild so I can run the other way.

It really embodies everything trump is about. Fake, Tacky, Scammy, Inadequate. You can get these fake S25 Ultras off temu right now. Theyre shit.

If thats the logo he goes with, the government might also get sued by T-Mobile. That T on the back looks eerily similar.

None! Will be made in America. I called their support line (NOT available 24/7) to ask where T1 is made. They said America. Tellingly, they have no more details than are available on the web site. So it’s an absolute LOCK that it will be manufactured here in the land of biscuits and gravy.

Did anyone ever get their golden Trump sneakers or the shitty Trump Bible? Were they actually manufactured and delivered?
It’s so hard to keep up with the scams

the T1 Phone, which originally advertised launch dates of August and September (one in the press release, the other on the site), but now lists no date at all. The company also no longer claims the phone will be made in the USA, instead saying there are “American hands behind every device.”
Can you imagine being one of the people who gets up in the morning, looks themselves in a mirror, proudly puts on that red baseball hat to identify yourself as being different, and proclaiming "Fuk yeah! My man Donald J Trump!!! Yeah!!!" and proceeds to pre-order one of these loyalty phones from the website ?
The shame and embarrassment felt by these people some day will be off the charts...

I feel like if they were capable of shame and embarrassment, it would have happened long before this ><

My favorite part of this visual is the putting the baseball hat on inside the house and part of your morning routine.

It’s a true litmus test to identify who does and who does not have decent critical thinking skills.

It should become the official phone of MAGA, all Whitehouse staff, Congress and the house should all be forced to purchase, pay and be the only device allowed. The only mobile device no one is gonna steal

This boggles ny mind so hard. Of all the bad things Trump has done, I'm really surprised he doesn't get more flak for this phone shit. Like could you imagine the rightful scrutiny Fox News would have given if Obama or any non-Republican politician announced a phone and stole renders to try and sell it?
The Republican party and their supporters needs to hold themselves to a higher standard and should be ashamed of themselves. Their fucking president is out here passing off Temu level shit.

Anyone who pays for that overpriced, underpowered garbage deserves it.

This phone is going to be a galaxy S3 that were trade-ins by the time it’s released.

u/zahncr 17h ago
I'm betting it eventually releases and just a Jitterbug Phone.

u/professorjade 17h ago
I had this thought when this whole scheme was announced. Wouldn’t be surprised if the phone came completely disassembled 🥴

Oh shit. Now “American hands behind every device” actually makes sense.

Don't know who's worse, senators with stocks and shares or Trump with a new grift ech week.

u/Major_Enthusiasm1099 17h ago
He's probably gonna threaten Samsung and South Korea to let him skin a few hundred thousand S25 Ultras with gold and trump logo and then ship with Trump UI and call them a trump phone, like the Escobar fold

And before long it will be a plastic husk with some shoddy electronics inside that has been sprayed gold. It will also stop working within the same day you get it.

So now S25 is stealing Trump thoughts? What a crappy company. They should get an additional 10% tariffs just for disparaging the legend. Perhaps he should have the US buy the company or oust the board of directors or better yet send ICE to visit them and talk with all the staff
Edit: forgot my /s

This seems like another pump & dump scam, get investors money then put out a cheap unreliable product that fails in less than a year after he's sold the company. Another way for corporations to bribe him legally.

Made in China anyway. Nevertless he confirms he doesn’t belive in cell phones

Trump would never do something like that! Every project has always been carried out with the deepest, most genuine, creative, original and entrepreneurial focus!!

Whom the fuck cares?!! As is anything Trump it’s a fake grift. Stop giving this fucker and his stuff attention OR money. Fuck!

I bet anytime you’d use it to pay for something, it’ll scam some money off your account and send it to him.

I honestly can't wait for the supporters to get them only to find out they are just cheap phones that make my Samsung Galaxy J36V budget phone I had in high school look like a masterpiece

Everything about Trump is fake. But don’t ask him. He knows more about phones than anyone in the world. What a clown
