Now this is a sticker I want. Gonna start slapping this puppy on gas pumps over the stupid "I did that!" Biden stickers.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Pro tip: there are now Trump "i did that" stickers on Amazon for CHEAP.

Bonus: it's the picture of him looking into the eclipse with no eye protection and pointing

Honestly, at this point I think MAGA are just fin-subs and like it that way. Keep sending Daddy Don your social security checks you little fin-cucks.

I would grant them a modicum of grace if they hadn't had 40 fucking years to see what he was about. But they had it. And they chose this.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

But The Apprentice!

(Apparently all the real business guys were too busy, that's how the producers picked Trump.)

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago

He was the perfect pick for a show like the apprentice. Tacky showy idea of an 80s businessman. It was clear on thw show that he wasnt really involved with his own business nkr the show tasks or planning.

Sitting in meetings or analysing data on a screen doesnt make good tv. Neither did trump, but the producers did.

Dude, even Ea Nasir delivered something to his customers.

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 2 weeks ago

The clearest signal yet that buyers may never see either a phone or their money came with a revised terms of service published on 6 April 2026. The updated document states explicitly that paying a deposit 'does not constitute a completed purchase and does not create a binding legal contract.' The payment is described as 'a conditional opportunity to buy the device if Trump Mobile eventually chooses to sell it,' with the company retaining all control over whether a phone is produced at all.

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

That is absolutely fucking hilarious.

I also don't think contracts work that way, otherwise that shit would be WAY more common. heh. But I'm also pretty sure nobody will see a penny back anyway.

I'd feel bad for them if they weren't fucking in the middle of turning our nation into a fascist hellhole.

[-] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago

that's how terms of service work on the internet. companies alter the terms whenever and however they like, and often to the detriment of the end user. it's technically not legal, but they do it anyway.

[-] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago

If a tech company changes the agreement, you are able to stop using the service if you don't like the new terms. With this phone people have already put money down for it. As long as they didn't agree to these new terms, they should be eligible for a refund if the product never ships.

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

Yeah sure, but how long will it take until they see any money?

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that the preorder page is still up and ~~taking~~ stealing magat's money.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Really? That's even funnier than the fact that anyone fell for the shit!

Ha. And might I add, “Ha”.

[-] iamthetot@piefed.ca 21 points 2 weeks ago

The fact that Trump or any of his family will never see the inside of a cell is the single largest thing that destroyed my faith in humanity.

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

At the very least, they'll see the inside of a coffin.

If you willingly gave money to a two-bit con-artist who is widely known for robbing or defrauding nearly everyone he has ever done business with, then you got what you had coming.

[-] auzy1@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

He didn't rob everyone.. stormy Daniels however might be the only one he publicly actually ever paid (even if he tried to get a refund).

I'm willing to bet there are a lot of underage women and other women who he paid though who haven't come forward

[-] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 weeks ago

His base is like trader NPCs in video games.

They buy everything he's selling to them. Then they un-ironically call everyone else NPC for being slightly skeptical.

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

They trusted a businessman who failed so hard he had to fall back on a career of political masturbation. Fuck em.

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Anyone else find it hard to believe that there were 600,00 orders for this. That feels like another money laundering situation.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

its well known its a money laundering scheme from the billionaires/putin/ISRAELI backers, nothing more. much like his CASINOS were the vehicle for laundering russian money. Maga is unable to connect the dots together. "if its too good to be true, it must be true" for them.

As I pointed out a year ago, this phone never existed.

They just waited until it was too late to do credit card chargebacks before pulling the rug. I've seen it on Kickstarter dozens of times.

When ~~your~~ you're president they just let you do it.

Surely the pussy grabbing president would never grab me by the pussy, again.

Republicans really struck gold with these maga morons. They are an endless supply of gullability, funds, and votes. World class idiots they deserve everything they want for others.

[-] johnofrobotz@news.girolab.foo 4 points 2 weeks ago

For nearly 600,000 Americans who trusted a brand built on the Trump name, the gold phone has become the latest entry in a long record of ventures that took their money and delivered nothing.

They wanted a Trump experience and they got one. Could argue they got what they paid for.

Breaking news: scammer scams people

[-] zeroConnection@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

LMAO. I LOVE IT. Such an American thing for a president to scam his own voters. Literally scam them out of money.

They will moan a bit and then say "I would vote for him again" 🤣🤣🤣
