Maybe it's a Samsung phone and a "Made in USA" sticker, shipped in as components and stuck together in the USA, thus fulfilling both "designed" and "made" in USA even though there are some foreign-made components (2). Then onshore those components bit by bit until the process is complete.

Samsung

It absolutely won't be. Best case It'll be a white label from local Chinese brands like Oppo, worst case -- a no-name company selling 150$ phones on alibaba. I'd put my money on the latter, the margins will be much better.

Great scam for a washed up celebrity with a cult following.
