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
