Donald Trump has launched a mobile phone service and $499 gold smartphone, the latest monetization of his presidency by a family business empire now run by his sons.
The Trump Organization unveiled Trump Mobile on Monday with a $47.45 monthly plan – both the service name and price referencing Trump as the 47th president. The company will also sell a gold-cased “T1” smartphone in September etched with the American flag.
The venture will be headed by his sons Donald Jr and Eric Trump, who took over the company after Trump transitioned to his second presidency. The mobile service joins Trump-branded watches, sneakers and Bibles as products capitalizing on his political brand, with the Trump sons indicating that more is to come.
You’re being generous there.
If you look at the specs on this thing, there is literally zero chance of it existing at all. 6.7" screen, android 15, 12GB of RAM, made in America, $499.
Not. A. Fucking. Chance.
There is no way anyone can deliver that by September. The facilities to make a device like that in the US simply do not exist.
Unfixable trash would be a step up from what these people are going to get for their $100 deposit.
The people who buy this deserve it.
Likely just one more method for a PAC to funnel money back to Trump.
