This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I mean, I have a feeling that a lot of these pre-orders or $100 deposits were probably bulk purchased by CEOs as bribes.
Why do people really fall for this? And even worse: Who buys a Trump phone?
you mean magats fall for these, everyone see this is a scam a mile away. he did this with bibles, CRYPTO, passports,,,,etc.
There are cult followers that have had cult leaders predict the rapture on multiple events and their followers still think it's gonna happen one of these times. Sometimes it's easier to believe insanity than they could be wrong.
R*tarded trump supporters
A fool and their money are soon parted.
Probably just went and βpre-ordered βanother one.
Hahaha fuming. Doubt that, they will come back for more.
Idk man, my neighborhood (in SoCal) had no shortage of Trump flags. Every single one is down since the Epstein saga. I dont think the phone is the thing that did it, and without a doubt, some cultists will be trying to dig Trump's corpse up after he's 6 feet under so they can shove their head up his ass and see enlightenment. But I think MAGA is dead unless they can shift the cult of personality onto a different personality, which is unlikely imo.
As a someone who is also from SoCal (Redneck side of the IE) I've noticed it as well, though most of them have been replaced by signs for that pissrag Bianco or however you spell it.
One can hope.
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.
There's also no evidence that they sold 600k phones. They couldn't just made that number up.

You're right. They didn't sell 600k phones. They took money from 600k people, but there was no phone sold.
Fr, I'd be shocked if they sold 600
I can believe the 600k number. If i was a maga chump I could be led to believe that's a premium phone, and getting a "premium" phone for 500 bucks in this day and age is unheard of. Almost like it would be too good to be true.
I wonder if I could buy Nokia, and start selling the N-Gage again.
Hey, Taco-Talkin' has a whole new relevant meaning these days! Plus it launched at $299.
And people are now getting emails saying that their phone will never arrive, with no mention of them getting their deposits back.
Anyone have the text of the actual email?
Being looking around for a while, no outlet seems to have any screenshot or transcript of it. Starting to think itβs just something Twitter randos hallucinated and a couple outlets fell for it, sadly.
Seems like people trolling indeed. Tried to find confirmation everywhere but couldn't find anything. In fact the latest confirmed news on this subject is The Verge (May 1st) - trump phone receives PTCRB certification
It's literally the 4th entry on Google from someone called Zeke Sky.
Nice try mate.
Link please? Everything I found on that guyβs profile is this post with the same screenshot of the ToS the article has, nothing about the mail or confirmation that itβs not coming.
I can't believe they got screwed by Biden AGAIN!
Thanks, Obama !
I know that you meant this as 100% sarcasm, but this is going to be the real answer.
It's going to be Biden, possibly Clinton, Samsung, and possibly whoever else has slighted or failed to bribe him who are at fault. And these dumb, hateful mother fuckers are going to accept it and keep worshiping Trump.
What I really love about this scam is that it was NOT going to just be a 3rd party phone with Trump branding. They were going to actually make a new, 100% American designed and made phone by the Trump brand. And this was going to happen for a mere $500.
At that pricepoint for a startup they wouldn't be paying anyone anything. That is a pipedream of a kickstarter pricepoint for a phone. Them blaming Samsung for this would be laughable
Surprised they didn't throw in a soulja boy game console too!
Can't feel bad for people who got conned by a con man and now are suckers and losers for getting scammed.
You mean to tell me the con man scammed them out of their money? Shocking. /s
Seriously it would be more surprising if they did come out.
I could imagine it if they were filled with spyware and rf sniffers. Not the regular spyware that google and apple have, but shit that spies on everyone around you. They just aren't that competent.
Next month, they'll drop a few hundred more on the next grift.
Where are the commemerative plates and chess sets?
Trump truck nuts
Fucking Kluxer dickheads.
Sounds like a perfect time to introduce the all new Trump Phone 2.
If only I wasnt so lazy, and had all these pesky morals.
Some days I wish I could just put my morals/ethics aside. One good grift and I could be rolling in MAGA money till the day I die.
It's unfortunate I'm unwilling to compromise myself and forgo peaceful sleep for the rest of my life.
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" π€£π€£π€£
Why would Obama do this? π
That's hilarious. Don the Con.
What do you mean it was all a scam? Trump is a god fearing Christian! Surely it is the fault of the next non-republican president from the future!
In a logical world, this would result in 600k less electors for the orange buffon, wouldn't it?
