The Trump-branded T1 Phone will apparently be made in America.

The vintage "Calling: Bullshit" meme

I laughed so hard I peed myself

[-] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you for this gif

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

That’s going to have a wider back door than an onlyfans model.

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Looking at the webpage, it's obviously a 100% Chinese product licensing the Trump name.

There are numerous errors on the page, from a processor section that doesn’t list a processor, RAM that’s described as storage, and the boast of a “5000mAh long life camera,” when it presumably means the battery.

If you ever thought the Trumps weren't grifters, this should clear it up:

“Trump Mobile is going to revolutionize cellphones, mobile calling,” Eric Trump told Fox News

There's absolutely nothing revolutionary here. It's a cheap Chinese phone in a tacky case and an overpriced very-not-new MVNO phone service.

[-] blackbarn@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

That's all he's ever done. License his name. Trump steaks. Trump water. Trump University. List goes on

[-] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

It’s stunning how these people can say this stupid shit with a straight face. 😂

[-] CPMSP@midwest.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm other words, it's just another example of how not to do business that all the rubes will throw money at.

Awesome.

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 weeks ago

Eeeewww! I have never seen anything tackier in my entire life, and I'm Balkan!

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 15 points 2 weeks ago

Is this

Phone service under the direct control of the President of the United States of America 🦋

Small government?

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

small government

I think they want to aerosolize it. I swear you can't understand the ruling class without reading 'snow crash'.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

And is this "small government" in the room with us right now?

[Glances nervously at devices]

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. Soon it will be small enough to fit inside your blood.

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 weeks ago

This would be REALLY Corrupt if he was President who ALSO Ran every and ALL Agencies that REGULATED this thing! FORTUNATELY Trump is ONLY the President who has Lackeys who Run ALL the Agencies that Regulate this and do LITERALLY WHATEVER he says! So it's NOT Corrupt!

[-] GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

Looking forward to a map produced next year by some thinly veiled US-supported NGO that shows corruption in the world and America will still be not corrupt but America's enemies will be very corrupt.

[-] FleetingTit@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Americas enemy

So... Greenland?

[-] GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Looking forward to alarming articles about how Greenland Internet users are rapidly losing freedom because they have to provide a home address to get service or something stupid like that.

I can't wait to see those people buy them and then complain about them.

Can't wait to read from which part of China this "American built" phone is made

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, if they're not lying it will be the worse phone ever made. The US-made Purism Liberty is $2000 and has similar specs to the Asia-made, $800 Librem 5, which is already overpriced compared to Android devices.

[-] addie@feddit.uk 8 points 2 weeks ago

You are not joking. Comparing a $2000 Purism Liberty with eg. a $200 HMD Fusion. The Fusion has somewhat better screen and battery; much better processor and camera. More RAM, the option of more storage, has NFC. It's also designed to be easy-to-maintain, but is somewhat thinner and lighter despite having a larger screen area. Are 'made in USA' and 'open-source drivers' worth paying 10x as much for a noticeably worse phone? (It's not really 'made in USA' either - it's a mix of US, Chinese and Indian parts assembled in the USA.)

I think that the people who believe a US-made iPhone will also cost $2k are kidding themselves - economy of scale and all that, but it must be substantially more.

[-] VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

3 years of security updates, ships with Android 14 and gets two version upgrades, to Android 16, which is the version being released right now. I feel that isn't the solution either.

But it has "5000mAh long life camera". Seems good to me.

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, my phone doesn't have that.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Hearing you can download as much RAM as you need on this phone too. CHECKMATE LIBS

Dude I hope it's popular. Imagine the selling point other networks could have:

New feature: Fash Block.

We guarantee our mobile network cannot send or recieve calls to any users on Trump Mobile.

[-] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

It’s available to preorder now with a $100 deposit

and might actually not even be real because he's a con man

[-] kayky@thelemmy.club 5 points 2 weeks ago

Use Visible instead.

Unlimited data for $25/month.

https://www.visible.com/

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

eventually it will be illegal to use anything but Trump products

and at some point Trump to want to be the calendar, too.

edit: and that phone will prolly turn off if you record the police; and I can't imagine the amount of spying on users that that phone must do.

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Top features:

PATRIOTIC bloatware with Mahjong

Lee Greenwood and Kid Rock ringtones

“Starlink GPS” on the box but it’s hastily scratched out in tear-stained whiteboard marker

You're fucking shitting me. I refuse to believe that's reality and you can't convince me otherwise.

The first 100 customers will be added to the next war plans group chat.

Next: Watch the Trump administration try to force the big national carriers to give preferential treatment to Trump Mobile on their radio hardware

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think he'll try bigger and simply try to nationalize or end licensing for the big 4.

[-] Usually_Lurker@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Who is still buying all these crappy products? Is it all just bribes from foreign countries?

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

There are at least 70 million weapons-grade mentally-ill people in the USA, radicalized and stupified with decades of psychological warfare.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

trump could sell bowls of diarrhea with his name on it for $1000, and his sucker cultist followers would take out loans to buy it

I think this is a great idea. Will make it easy to identify which people I should never speak to again.

Trump really is trying to be hitler. He even invented his own “star of David” in the form of a phone.

[-] Ronno@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago

"It's all computer"

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

“a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States.”

Alright, so clearly this is a bald-face lie? How the hell can they claim this? What kind of made in america SOC are they using?

[-] AZX3RIC@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

It depends on how they define "built."

The Moto X was touted as being built in the US, it was assembled in Texas with parts made in Asia.

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I believe the Made in USA Labeling Act passed 2021 would prevent following the Moto X approach of just final assembly, but I suppose it's up to trump's FTC to make the final call regardless, easy enough for them to issue an exception.

Specifically:

it is an unfair or deceptive act or practice within the meaning to label any product as Made in the United States unless the final assembly or processing of the product occurs in the United States, all significant processing that goes into the product occurs in the United States, and all or virtually all ingredients or components of the product are made and sourced in the United States.
