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!

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.

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

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

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

But it has “5000mAh long life camera”. Seems good to me.
MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean, my phone doesn’t have that.
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Hearing you can download as much RAM as you need on this phone too. CHECKMATE LIBS
RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Idk the exact number but the camera in my phone probably weighs like a gram or so, so Einstein tells me I’m carrying about 25,000,000 kWh in the camera alone, which if served at 5V would be ~5,000,000,000 may.
Guess I’m winning.

Small government?

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

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

I think they want to aerosolize it. I swear you can’t understand the ruling class without reading ‘snow crash’.
Wispy2891@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Can’t wait to read from which part of China this “American built” phone is made
loutr@sh.itjust.works 2 months 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 2 months 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.
Bwaz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Hey, the “building” of a phone is the part where Mercans put in those tiny screws, as suggested by Administration staff. The low-tech stuff, like fabricating doublesided circuit boards and the microcircuit and mucrowave filter parts mounted on them, all that easy cheap stuff can be done by other people to support the screwers.
shiroininja@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That’s going to have a wider back door than an onlyfans model.

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
ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Coming soon: Trump™ Payday Loans! With only 470% APR!
DrCake@lemmy.world 2 months ago
For the people buying it the product it’s self doesn’t matter. It’s got Trump’s name on it and the money they spend goes to him, so he can “own the libs”

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

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. *

No problem. It’s a classic from my meme collection that is so vintage, it predates smartphones. I needed a good excuse to dust it off.

“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 2 months 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 2 months 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.

Make gold gross again.
EldenLord@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Biometals are way cooler anyways. Copper? Zinc? Cobalt? Molybdenum? Iron? Tin? Manganese?
All these are essential to our life and provide actual use compared to the utter lifeless and obsolete gold that only serves greed among the ghouls chasing it.
cook_pass_babtridge@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Gold is useful! It’s unreactive and conducts electricity really well. Plus you can drink vodka with bits of it in.

swordgeek@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Why mention it? Because the media has a DUTY to call out a corrupt government! Because they’re not doing their job!
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Why should there be? Everything this administration does is fraudulent and has conflict of interest. It’s ok because they say it’s okay. You are thinking more like when things were democratic perhaps?

There’s no way this isn’t an attempt to wiretap people

The ‘smart’ phones in everybody’s pockets already are. Kind of, more or less.
Well perhaps the intention wasn’t to wiretap everybody, but it has ended up that way.

Feels like the Escobar phone
ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s definitely going to be the Escobar Phone all over again. Anyone who accidentally receives one will get a foil-wrapped $150 Huawei handset with a preinstalled background image.
zip@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Huawei? I think you’re giving them too much credit, haha. I’d guess it’s likely to be some unknown, no-name garbage, like you’d get from Wish or Ali-Express (or similar) for dirt cheap.

TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 2 months ago
Trump like a mob boss keeps the “heat” away from him as much as possible. He’ll let his cult army march around with their swastikas, and if asked “knows nothing about it”. And he’ll turn around and instruct the same people he doesn’t know anything about to “stand back and stand by”.
