NBC News just showcased what was broadly believed to be vaporware. No details on specs or hardware other than 512GB ROM because MAGA folks just care about what the phone looks like and the Trump name. It's also been confirmed that the phone will not be US-made because of course onshoring smartphone production would require funds and a labor pool that would make production a logistical nightmare. It's only US-designed and assembled but nearly identical to an HTC white-label phone.

I'm thought I read his phones are just old refurbished/repurposed phones with outdated specs, but not sure...
I don't get the reference, but Don Sr. has nothing to do with Trump Mobile as he had to give up running his business empire. But it's not like the second generation knows what they're doing.
Yes, I just read that Trump Mobile was selling refurbished iPhones and Samsung phones as being made in America.

Yeah although it's not hard for him to be getting business deals through a proxy partner or family member or happen to tell a room of buddies upcoming policies and can be valuable to invest in or pull out of.

Hey, I’m genuinely not an expert in international politics, history, sociology, or anything like that, but doesn’t this merchandise and these products look more like the beginning of a personality cult around the President of the United States? I don’t know why, but if it were within their power, I feel like they’d be capable of holding parades, marches, and government events like the ones they do in North Korea with images of their leaders, or like Stalin and his associates used to do.
