I'm conflicted on this. On the one hand, I love the idea of a stupid tax. On the other, I hate the idea of Trump getting all the money the stupid tax generates.

Did they also sign up for Trump University?
This guy on YT recorded the entire process of signing up for the mobile service. It was interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUtSo7dASg0

Should've used a debit gift card with only enough money for that one month. That way if they charge again it'll just get denied.
Haha. Suddenly you get charged with a $34.50 overdraft fee on top of it.
Once again I can't believe people are dumber than me.
Chargeback, then let them know it’s a duplicate.
The credit card company will get really pissed if it continues and will eventually remove the companies ability to use their services.
I had to do this with Verizon.
This company will be long gone by the time that happens.
We’ve already seen how willing companies are to stand up to Trump, even if he is in the wrong.
I’m totally sure T-Mobile or the Credit Card company would be willing to defend this in court…
It is hard to describe how powerful VISA is.

You got scammed, sweetheart.
It's a journalist who ordered it for a review knowing it was going to be at least a couple scams involved...
Sweetheart
I'm conflicted about this because on one hand people deserve to know the truth from a primary source.
On the other hand, wouldn't it be easier to interview the people who delivered Hitler's lunch than it would be to buy Hitler lunch a couple of times a month?
At the very least use a disposable card they can't keep charging.

I know why.
It's because it's a scam.
Not surprising. Muricans are the dumbest to ever exist!
“By checking this box, you authorize Trumpmobile[dot]com to charge your card on a recurring basis.” But provides no indication of what this charge might be. I certainly didn’t expect one.
Congratulations. You just signed up to give a billionaire a $64.70 monthly donation to his political campaign. Your only option is to cancel the card because there is no way in hell he well ever stop dipping into this well.
Edit to remove the link I accidentally included to trumpmobile. I apologize profusely for linking to such a site. I feel so dirty now...
Your only option is to cancel the card because there is no way in hell he well ever stop dipping into this well.
They'd likely rack up a bill into the thousands and then send it off to collections. Or send ICE after you. Ya know, normal government things.
Should I drop a segue to Rocket Money ad at this point or am I suppose to wait for a bit more?

🤣...good. These idiots probably don't know (or care) that his Big Beautiful Mobile service is just another MVNO which is really T1 Mobile, slap on a Trump logo. It has some of the worst pricing compared to other MVNO's, like Redpocket or US Mobile. Trump Mobile, a phone service for the gullible.
