You can't even make a freaking grill scrubber without importing parts from China, even if you were trying NOT to import from China. Apple couldn't even make their phone in the US because the most trivial thing was insanely expensive compared to overseas. Yes, the tiny little screws. I've got beach front property in Arizona to sell to these jackasses that believe this moron solved US manufacturing problems in just 6 months.

I can't wait to accuse trump supporters of being antifa for not having a trump phone.

If they ieep grifting their own people this hard, surely there will come a time when their own voters are penniless and thus (in American democracy) powerless, right?

They'll still vote for him.

An American made smart phone would be garish, run hot and flake out in record time.

The Trump business' press release about the phone purports that the device, The T1, is "designed and built in the United States." The report noted that Apple has a similarly ambiguous claim, "Designed by Apple in California." In Apple's case, however, it has a disclaimer saying that the phones are assembled in India or China.

How is that "similarly ambiguous"? Neither phone was built in the US; only the Trump phone creators lied and said it was.

Steve Hou of Bloomberg LP, found the same phone on Amazon. Trump is selling his phone for $499, but it can be purchased on Amazon for $169. It can also be purchased in gold

Everything is a fucking grift

Which means you can buy the $169 phone spray paint it with gold paint and sell it to a MAGA fan for $1,000 when the demand goes up.

It’s a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G

Chinese company + Chinese manufacturing.

This guy is such a fucking crook.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

He’s not a crook. And you will realize that as soon as his tax audit is over so he can release his taxes.

It’s a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G

So a $130 budget phone that they are selling for 500? Seems about right.

Well, with the tariffs and all, it adds up...
