Yeah absolutely zero chance anyone is gonna make a moder smartphone with all parts from a single country. Maybe in China but definitely nowhere else.

China is restricted from buying the machines necessary for high-end semiconductors, so not china either

You’re technically right but only because Taiwan (despite what China fervently wants) is a separate country from China. If you follow the official Chinese party line that they aren’t then yes you could make a modern phone entirely from parts made in “China”. It would at a minimum be more “made in China” than anything Trump is peddling as “made in USA”.

There is one but it’s extremely expensive and extremely rudementary

I am skeptical it is only made of US components, if nothing else due to the sheer number of components. This video (note this video is an ad for a product) is about the difficulties making something far simpler out of entirely US components, and they straight up couldn’t do it even when trying - suppliers outright lied about the country of origin in some cases, and some parts were extremely difficult to source in the US. This is a grill brush with like 10 components and not a smart phone.

lol, ‘American Proud’ design… not even ‘designed in America’
Trump will say anything associated with him is ‘American Proud’ no matter where it was made,

It’s almost like he’s a lying narcissist or something. He’ll say whatever will get him closer to his goals with absolutely zero intent on keeping his word, and by the time even 20% of the country has caught on, he’s already several grifts and/or scandals downstream. If anybody does manage to confront him on it and demand an explanation, he just lies and changes the subject.
Promises made, promises delivered.
I truly don’t understand how he isn’t running out of rubes. He’s been very publicly exposed as the con man he is for over a decade now. His marks keep getting fucked over and are complaining about it. How are so many people still falling for his bullshit?

It’s easier to scam someone than convince them they’ve been scammed.

It’s almost like everything Republicans claim to stand for is a hollow lie.

Trump applies Chinese outsourcing.

There has to be a crafty lawyer that can sue the shit out of them.

That only works under the rule of law.

It’s almost like he’s not very honest.

This is 7D CHESS by Trump! I LOVE this Move to TRICK STUPID LIBTARDS Into Thinking the Phones ARENT American by Taking away Their American Made PROMISE! SUCH a Smart Move! REAL Patriots KNOW the Truth!

The claim was never suppposed to stand up to scrutiny. The biggest rubes have already bought in and won’t read any of the publications critical of the initial marketing. The biggest rubes have already reserved a device and will think it was manufactured stateside.

Haha. They just quietly remove this and people who love him are already sold on ths idea of this phone and won't care.
Sigh.

Don’t worry, I’m sure the FTC will investigate this obvious and pernicious false labeling bait-and-switch scheme!
ilinamorato@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Probably. "We’ve investigated! No issues here!
