    * Case made in USA, not the phone.

    The awful Trump branding might be laser engraved in America.

    Everything else is guaranteed made in Taiwan or china. The US was just barely getting its semiconductor industry back under Biden.

    If these things ever ship, I can’t wait for someone to crack one open just to find a bunch of Chinese parts.

    I’m in favor of anything that makes these dipshits more conspicuous. Trump bumper sticker? There’s no way I’m pulling over to help you if you’re stuck on the side of the road. MAGA hat? Then I don’t have a problem saying no to their perfectly reasonable request.

    These people are helping destroy my country, and the Constitution. By continuing to display this propaganda, they’re telling everyone that they’re proud of it. I’ll let them pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

    Thats probably because these are old outdated phones that were dump for good reason.

    Except that they're claiming Android 15, USB-C and 12GB of RAM.

    No existing device has that combination of features, plus a headphone jack.

    This thing is a fantasy, plain and simple. Nothing about it is real.

    Another of The Tramp's scams. If it materializes, I bet it's made in China.

    Anyone who puts down a “deposit” on this should be declared mentally incompetent.

    Did anyone really expect them to tell the truth? Lets see what the real specs will be. Maybe it is a repackaged Pixel 3 or 4...

    Didn't Escobar Inc. already try this?

    Looking forward to the JerryRigEverything video.

    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.

    Is this provided via T-Mobile or did he just rip off T-Mobile’s logo font?

    He ripped off the font, and some are saying it's a slightly tweaked REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which is a midrange Chinese phone T-Mobile already sells for $170 with a T on the back. Trump's T is a bit bigger. Would be fun to see T-Mobile take legal action...
