I’m calling it, it won’t come out. I just doubt it will happen.
If it does, it’s a rebranded phone wrapped in fake gold leaf, like the Pablo Escobar phone. https://www.pcmag.com/news/the-phone-from-pablo-escobars-brother-is-just-a-galaxy-fold-covered-in
Don’t miss the fine print.
*phones not made in the USA
Came here to say this and that there is a good Free software phone that is: https://puri.sm/
New day, new grift.
Did anyone read the TOS and such? Holy shit! So many red flags.
$47
Too high. Tello is $25 for Unlimited in the states and is also an MVNO, and not owned by fascists(at least not openly).
Not only is it survailance tech, not that a normal phone isn’t, but it isn’t competitive. More trash from the Trump Dump.
The Trump-branded T1 Phone will apparently be made in America.
I laughed so hard I peed myself
Thank you for this gif
No problem. It’s a classic from my meme collection that is so vintage, it predates smartphones. I needed a good excuse to dust it off.
Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.
Now I’m in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month. I don’t remember what my plan is but it’s something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.
Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.
Nah, I pay about $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and 35 GB of high speed data before being dropped from priority. It helps its a MVNO, which is the term for companies that use the networks and infrastructure of the big 3 cellular telecomms without needing to physically maintain them.
I pay for a year at once, so I only pay $15 per month for unlimited talk/text and 5 GB of mobile data. Mint is the carrier I use
Not really. I’m on Visible Wireless prepay and pay $25/month for unlimited data, including unlimited hotspot (rate limited at 5 mb/s on the hotspot).
If it’s a post-pay plan, then it might be competitive, as the rates are around what you remember for those. Since they’re talking about a $500 phone instead of “free with plan,” I’m assuming it’s prepaid where you have to buy the phone separately.
Edit: okay, read the article and it’s prepaid. It’s not a good value and is easily beat my several existing services.
Eeeewww! I have never seen anything tackier in my entire life, and I’m Balkan!
This would be REALLY Corrupt if he was President who ALSO Ran every and ALL Agencies that REGULATED this thing! FORTUNATELY Trump is ONLY the President who has Lackeys who Run ALL the Agencies that Regulate this and do LITERALLY WHATEVER he says! So it’s NOT Corrupt!
Looking forward to a map produced next year by some thinly veiled US-supported NGO that shows corruption in the world and America will still be not corrupt but America’s enemies will be very corrupt.
Americas enemy
So… Greenland?
Looking forward to alarming articles about how Greenland Internet users are rapidly losing freedom because they have to provide a home address to get service or something stupid like that.
Hungary already kind of did that.
That’s going to have a wider back door than an onlyfans model.
Is this
Phone service under the direct control of the President of the United States of America 🦋
Small government?
small government
I think they want to aerosolize it. I swear you can’t understand the ruling class without reading ‘snow crash’.
And is this “small government” in the room with us right now?
[Glances nervously at devices]
Yes. Soon it will be small enough to fit inside your blood.
Looking at the webpage, it’s obviously a 100% Chinese product licensing the Trump name.
There are numerous errors on the page, from a processor section that doesn’t list a processor, RAM that’s described as storage, and the boast of a “5000mAh long life camera,” when it presumably means the battery.
If you ever thought the Trumps weren’t grifters, this should clear it up:
“Trump Mobile is going to revolutionize cellphones, mobile calling,” Eric Trump told Fox News
There’s absolutely nothing revolutionary here. It’s a cheap Chinese phone in a tacky case and an overpriced very-not-new MVNO phone service.
That’s all he’s ever done. License his name. Trump steaks. Trump water. Trump University. List goes on
I’m other words, it’s just another example of how not to do business that all the rubes will throw money at.
Awesome.
It’s stunning how these people can say this stupid shit with a straight face. 😂
I know a maga grandma that will probably buy into this.
I can’t wait to see those people buy them and then complain about them.
