Thats probably because these are old outdated phones that were dump for good reason.

Except that they’re claiming Android 15, USB-C and 12GB of RAM.
No existing device has that combination of features, plus a headphone jack.
This thing is a fantasy, plain and simple. Nothing about it is real.

About the only redeeming quality of what is otherwise conservative-themed shovelware tbh. 🤣

That’s also how you know it’s a cheap chinese phone lol, because all the high end flagships don’t have headphone jacks (other than Sony I suppose).

Don’t forget the code to listen in. You get a twofer. Both the motherboard and rump will add surveillance code to listen in.

Another of The Tramp’s scams. If it materializes, I bet it’s made in China.

Ew why does it have trumps name all over it. He’s actually such a cancer.

Didn’t Escobar Inc. already try this?
Looking forward to the JerryRigEverything video.

Maybe it’s a Samsung phone and a “Made in USA” sticker, shipped in as components and stuck together in the USA, thus fulfilling both “designed” and “made” in USA even though there are some foreign-made components (2). Then onshore those components bit by bit until the process is complete.

“Components” means in this case the phone and the sticker.

Samsung
Hahaha it absolutely won’t be. Best case It’ll be a white label from local Chinese brands like Oppo, worst case – a no-name company selling 150$ phones on alibaba. I’d put my money on the latter, the margins will be much better.
Great scam for a washed up celebrity with a cult following.

It’s a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G sold for $169 lol.

Option 2: Lie. When caught, lie about having lied.

Is this provided via T-Mobile or did he just rip off T-Mobile’s logo font?
floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
He ripped off the font, and some are saying it’s a slightly tweaked REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which is a budget phone T-Mobile sell with a T on the back. Trump’s T is a bit bigger. Would be nice to see T-Mobile take legal action…

Don’t you know, selling phones is an official presidential act, thus he has immunity.

They’re probably in on the scam.

Pick one. You can’t have both.
Steve@startrek.website 1 day ago
Apparently it costs $169 without the T

The awful Trump branding might be laser engraved in America.
Everything else is guaranteed made in Taiwan or china. The US was just barely getting its semiconductor industry back under Biden.
If these things ever ship, I can’t wait for someone to crack one open just to find a bunch of Chinese parts.
