Let's hope the phone is of such low quality that the battery self-combusts in users' pockets.

And that’s basically it!
Reminds me of the time my inlaws switched to Patriot Mobile to get away from the "liberals at AT&T". I don't know which part of the grift is the most laughable.
A.) The fact that AT&T is not at all "liberal" and is very supportive of conservative politics.
B.) The fact that Patriot Wireless is an MVNO and at that time operated solely on AT&T's infrastructure, so now your money is going to AT&T AND a third party middle-man.
MAGA is essentially just one giant con job.
But I bet they feel morally superior. Stupid people spend their money on things they find important. Even if it's just feeling like a better person than some brown person. This is why education is always an important thing.
That’s why they’re destroying education.
On the one hand, I hate seeing people scammed.
On the other hand, it's nice that they have less money to spend on political donations.
There are numerous errors on the page, from a processor section that doesn’t list a processor, RAM that’s described as storage, and the boast of a “5000mAh long life camera,” when it presumably means the battery.
Sounds like a quality product.
Copy-pasted the Chinese to English translation from whatever company website is making the phones.
even that shouldn't result in such utter nonsense, especially not nowadays where google translate is generally decent
Either doesn't exist, or they found a shit load of old filpphones that were scheduled to be recycled and want to pass them off to their base. After all only a moron would legit want one of these phones.
My guess is its all a grift and they will happily take your money and never deliver. Also it's another way to take bribes from foreign countries without oversight.
Doesn't look like a flip phone to me. More like a knockoff iPhone, which is pretty on brand
That's just a picture, have you seen the actual phome?
An obviously photoshopped picture at that. The camera spacing is so weird and it doesn't even have a flash.
The Soulja Boy method
More like the Island Boys method
Now that's Fascist efficiency in action.
Hey TACO Boy, for your next trick will you make the trains run on time?
...a Trump-branded phone, the T1, which they claim will be made in America.
no it wont. we do not have the infrastructure to make all of the components in america. they might be able to assemble it here, but it will definitely not be made here.
Literally all trump merch is made in SEA and he claims it's made in America and no one cares.
Easy, you import a phone and case, and the "manufacturing" is a worker who puts the case onto the phone and places it in branded packaging, slap a made in America sticker, and there ya go.
Ha, T1 is so outdated, his team doesn't even know it's an existing slow standard.
It's like naming your new gold-plated "luxury" car brand "Horse & Buggy."
Even if it was the fastest standard with the latest hardware, a shit load of memory, the best camera imaginable … I wouldn’t want anything in my house with the name “Trump” on it, even if it were a gift.
Does the phone's browser filter out everything but MAGA content?
So the mobile company is called T1 Mobile. Doesn't that infringe on the trademark of T Mobile? Seems like that would be confusing to a customer. Since it's an MVNO, T1 Mobile is likely piggy backing off of T Mobile's network.
You can prepay for a year of unlimited with Mint Mobile for way less than this.
There’s a promotional $34/mo rate if you preorder.
They couldn't pay me.
