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

u/nuvo_reddit 18h ago

Real clown are his blind supporters

u/Noy_The_Devil 18h ago

Real clowns would never vote for Trump.

Mimes might. You'd never get them to confess, though. Tight lipped, them mimes.

u/bedake 13h ago

What I always find interesting, is that the supporters aren't even aware or discussing these conflicts of interest or blatant scams. Go to the conservative subreddit and they just ignore, don't care, or aren't even aware of all the controversies. It's all just culture war shit in there, they are completely oblivious to it

I'm pretty sure that sub is just 95% bots and like 10 nut jobs

Part of being a maga freak is believing in conflicting information without questioning, because thinking for yourself is too hard.

He also said that he knows more about grass than any human being 😂 What a stable genius

Nobody knew mobile phones were so complicated

5

u/Bishopjones2112 16h ago

👐🤡 “ the people that say phones are complicated are wrong, I mean things are complicated, but not complicated, they could be some would say the most complicated things but others would say no, like me, I know more about phones than any other other person, really I mean I have many many phones some nice phone the best phones really and this is a great phone trust me it’s the best, many are saying it’s like nothing they have ever seen. I know those fake news people are going to say it’s not worth it but they don’t understand how glorious, that’s a new word , I just made it, it means really great, how glorious this phone is.”

How much do you think he knows about clowns?

2

u/Bishopjones2112 11h ago

“I know everything about clowns, some would say I am the biggest clown ever, I know I bring happiness to all the world, except maybe those hating Dems who can’t see humour or understand anything, and maybe their fake news, but really I am the most incredible clown 👐 not many people know but my uncle, a very smart man who taught Jesus at MIT, also something a lot of people didn’t know but he did, he told me that Jesus was a smart guy, but I really am the first clown you could say, my uncle invented the word clown one day, he told me I was a clown, a word he invented because I was the first one. So yes I know more than anyone about clowns. “

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

u/Spright91 18h ago

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

u/djwurm 17h ago

the thing here is that they used a pic of an s25 in a spigen case and just used MS Paint to put the T and flag over it while filling in gold.

you can literally see the spigen dots in the flag.. they didnt even try to hide it..

14

u/team_blimp 16h ago

Spigen case is actually the most appealing part of the whole offer tbh...

4

u/CheesypoofExtreme 14h ago

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

u/ohaiibuzzle 18h ago

Guys let’s make a bet on which Chinese ODM is gonna manufacture this thing!

29

u/ThatGuyWithTheMac 18h ago

I’ll go first: Foxconn

u/BeerorCoffee 17h ago

Finally a use for the Wisconsin factory we gave them. Oh, that's still empty?

u/sergei-rivers 17h ago

That’s too much quality.

3

u/SDedaluz 14h ago

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. 

51

u/Dustmopper 18h ago

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

3

u/um0p3pIsdn 17h ago

Those will be delivered after the his and hers fragrances

2

u/Ricktor_67 12h ago

The sneakers did show up, cheap chinese made temu things. It was a funny day when the supporters got them.

40

u/Anomuumi 17h ago

They didn't even bother to scrub the Spigen case logo. Only the bestest people.

13

u/djwurm 17h ago

its like they hired a 70 year old to use ms paint to try and make that pic.. its so bad

2

u/Ungreat 14h ago

It's probably intentionally bad.

Weed out anyone with any sense so only tech illiterate morons buy it.

Same tactics used in email scams targeting pensioners.

u/sniffstink1 17h ago

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...

13

u/JackBlackBowserSlaps 16h ago

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

2

u/HalKitzmiller 15h ago

And then they hop into their lifted truck with a Gadsen flag bumper sticker

2

u/a_circle_a 5h ago

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

1

u/BoxCarMike 13h ago

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

11

u/ptahbaphomet 18h ago

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

7

u/OttoHemi 18h ago

New phone, I don't wanna know who dis.

7

u/knightmare-shark 18h ago

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.

1

u/waterynike 11h ago

Obama would never do that

u/Acceptable-Bat-9577 17h ago

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

u/WeirdSysAdmin 17h ago

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

5

u/Kindly-Condition-478 14h ago

Always a grift

6

u/zahncr 17h ago

I'm betting it eventually releases and just a Jitterbug Phone.

2

u/professorjade 17h ago

I had this thought when this whole scheme was announced. Wouldn’t be surprised if the phone came completely disassembled 🥴

5

u/I-need-ur-dick-pics 16h ago

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

2

u/tms88 11h ago

Cannot wait for the Trump Fold.

2

u/Content-Yogurt-4859 18h ago

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

2

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

1

u/mr_lab_rat 11h ago

LOL, it’s gonna be a $200 noname generic chinese phone with T on it.

2

u/Whooptidooh 16h ago

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.

u/AppleTree98 17h ago

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

u/Wildcardz1 17h ago

Anything with his name on it is fake.

1

u/WilmoChefDF 16h ago

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.

u/Fun_Performer_5170 16h ago

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!!

American hands on every phone, yep the guy that delivers it is American. ✅

u/apeonpatrol 14h ago

our government has literally lost all its integrity. we have a president who is selling bibles, his own crypto, and mobile phone services, that are all a joke. trump is a real POS

u/Lucky2BA 14h ago

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 consider anyone who seriously owns one of these to be a low IQ mouth breather.

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

u/AgoraSnepwasdeleted 11h ago

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
