The website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70. I received a confirmation email saying I’ll receive a confirmation when my order has been shipped, but I haven’t provided a shipping address or paid the full $499 price tag. It is the worst experience I’ve ever faced buying a consumer electronic product and I have no idea whether or how I’ll receive the phone.
I look forward to learning more about how terrible these phones turn out.
Daily reminder, Jimmy Carter willingly sold his peanut farm because his morality told him of his own viewpoints that it may be seen as unfair for a President to own business interests while serving the most important role of government. Which in his mind may come off as corrupt.
We now have a president who see’s his name as a brand. That’s where we’ve gone.
People are forgetting too that this is just a job that he can be fired from. The SCOTUS and Republicans can fire him at any moment, but they aren’t. These middle managers suck.
They’re complicit. You don’t fire a boss because some people don’t like them, you fire a boss when you don’t like them.
What a state of affairs we’re in…
middle managers suck.
FTFY
Who’s going to sit in 15 hours worth of meetings each week if not the middle managers?

Well, that and he was complying with the Emoluments Clause. You know, that thing that should’ve seen Trump impeached on Inauguration Day – 2017, not even just 2025!
It’s much worse than that, he’s actively exploiting his position in government for personal gain. They have a gold Trump credit card that advertises that it’s “an official website of the US government”.
Worse than that, he’s hosting $1M a plate dinners for “access” and attendees get things like pardons for their family members or government approval of business deals after paying these bribes.

and that’s why president carter was the last great and decent president the us has had.
And it would just be Jimmy’s Peanuts in the end. Nothing more, nothing less. Opposed to this cheap gold platted shit Trump keeps trying to sell…
extremely non-zero chance the entire site and payment system was coded by morons with chatgpt
The preferred term is “vibe coding” nowadays!
At this point, his sons are just vibe scamming. Kind of surprised that they haven’t started a gun company yet. Truth rifles that literally blow up in his followers’ faces.
vibe coding sound way too cool for what it is
Let me guess. It’s a rebranded Chinese phone that typically goes for like 50 bucks?
Yep, apparently it’s a cosmetically tweaked Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which goes for $170 under the T-Mobile brand on Amazon.
Eric Trump admitted it was going to be made in China, so the press release’s description, “designed and built in the United States,” is just a lie, or actually two lies.
‘Eventually’: Eric Trump admits new mobile phone isn’t being made in the USA
But it’s golden and has a convicted felon’s name on it. That should make up for the rest of the value right?
He saw the Escobar phone and thought it was a good plan.
There’s a disposable vape with that name.
The Escobar Phone is a weird name for a vape
I think they’re called elfbars or something?
Only if the value goes so far below zero that you get an integer overflow.
cosmetically tweaked
It would have to be super tweaked considering the phone you referenced has four cameras, and a notch style front camera.
My bet is that this is a 10 second photoshop job and the actual phone will look nothing like that.
I mean if you do a difference blend of two of the cameras, you get a perfectly black circle (minus some blending at the edges):
.This means that the cameras are exact pixel-perfect copies of each other arranged in that order by photoshop. They don’t exist on any phone.
Yes, I wouldn’t assume the picture has anything to do with the phone (if any) people will actually receive.
The first thing that stood out to me is that the T from the phone logo in the thumbnail looks suspiciously similar to the T from T-Mobile. Like, almost identical to my untrained eye.
Not quite, but relatively close.
You can even buy a refurb for about $80, which is hilarious lol
And they’ll ironically lose the lawsuit about the lies and deception of this, the defense of which will be funded by donations from the idiots that buy this phone and receive messages every hour asking for more money for the legal defense fund.

Clearly the wrong price; should be going for $86.47.
For those OOTL (like I was):

well i’m definitely shocked that the guy banned from operating a charity in new york because he scammed children with cancer would operate a shoddy business.
Usually he’s not even involved in running the business, they’re licensing deals where some scammer pays a few million up front to use the Trump name, which is then used to scam his followers.
With a track record like that, he’s the first person I would trust. /s
Unfortunately true. Worth reading that snopes article just to see how much fucked up stuff was actually happening though. It’s not a mischaracterization to say they stole from kids with cancer through self dealing.
Psst… you’re sarcasm is showing

The US is a failed state. There’s no other way to put it.
Failing, not failed. Don’t give up! Things could get a lot worse, we’re nowhere near the bottom. They could also get better.
Pessimist: It’s all terrible.
Optimist: But it might be even more terrible tomorrow!
It’s not for lack of a better term. It’s just accurate.
I look forward to learning more about how terrible these phones turn out.
It will be a bog standard white label china phone with android, a custom wallpaper and maybe some cover/protector like you can get on temu. It’s not like they develop their own hardware configuration, apps or phone os.
But the world’s best professional bullshitter wrote on Truth that it’s built in the USA, it’s not a China phone
Which American companies actually manufacture displays, ram, CPUs, batteries etc. for cellphones in America?
Trumps companies if you believe him and disregard the ‘made in china’ sticker
Can’t say I feel bad for you buddy. Count yourself lucky if your cc info isn’t abused.
You are literally dealing with known felons.
It’s a 404 Media journalist, he did it on purpose to point out how stupid it is.
There’s a very high probability that the company will shut down before they even get a working product. All the pre-order money will have been spent on “research” and “salaries”, with 80% going directly into Trump’s pockets. And there will be fuck all anyone can do to get their money back. Scammers gonna scam.
I sometimes wish I had no moral code. This demographic is super easy to scam. Like the guy who listed the non-woke beer or the people who listed the freedumb phone, etc. Just attach some bullshit marketing to a thing and stupid people eat it up.
OP sounds like this is a B2B gone wrong… the 67.47$ is what they pay the factory. For the consumer this should be 499$
I’m confident it’s simply going to be a white label of some Chinese brand. Only question is which one.
Also there are tons of similar mvno networks, so that part is fine.deleted by creator
It’s like that Trump watch with the T missing. “I was expecting something with the integrity of the President”. Yeah, you got that.
Plot twist: there are no phones, the whole thing is a scheme to rip off people for $64.70. Enough money to make the scam worth it, not enough for people to put in the time and effort to reclaim their money unless their credit card will compensate them.
I mean, it’s literally just a rebranded CP12, it’s a $50 phone that’s been painted gold.
That’s not a twist at all…
Never ceases to embarrass this nation
There is hidden significance and symbolism throughout the device for those dedicated trumpies to uncover. For example, one easter egg is that the length of the screen is exactly 4x the length of trump’s dick.
And they prolly didn’t measure it diagonally either. Only straight. As God intended or something.
Stuck the landing. Cheers.
Imagine if earlier fascists were as corrupt with conflicts of interests. Maybe we could call via the Adolfone.

Weird. Mussolini’s greatest achievement was at a gas station.

well, hope this spreads quickly as a lesson to everyone avoid that crap!
Those who buy this deserve it.
