What a shame. I was super excited to send money to this grifter and show off how much of a patriot I am. And it's fake gold, which everyone knows is super classy.

Imagine being the PRESIDENT OF THE USA and still feeling the need to shout “LOVE ME” every five minutes

PedoPhone, for Rape™️

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

More like LOVE ME… OR ELSE!

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I choose "or else"

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 58 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

I mean, it's obviously just gonna be a rebranded budget phone by a Chinese brand like Ulefone or Umidigi, like that "Freedom Phone" by that crypto-fuckface, whatever his name was. I don't know why anyone is still bothering to report on this.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 48 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Because it is a brand with POTUS' name on it. And we should continue to shine light on him and his grifts until he glows like the fuckin sun.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 29 points 3 weeks ago

POTUS

Pedophile of the US

The issue is that the people not voting or voting for him are conveniently kept in the dark.

Watch, people will come to fall over themselves to insist it’s not worth it to let the fascist enablers of their family know they are traitors to democracy.

If people won’t even tell their families they are disappointed in them and they are acting out of line they won’t say it to ANYONE. If people do not love their families enough to say anything, they definitely don’t love their own country to say anything.

You bite your tongue around strangers or people you don’t care about. The fact that people are doing that with people they love proves there really isn’t love there. It’s something else.

How could Kennedy do this to us?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Friggin' FDR and his new deal nonsense has had downstream effects no one had the foresight to predict. Franklin F'd up this phone.

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 29 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

this con man could shit on a plate and his cult followers would spend their last dollar to buy it

it's incredible how much of themselves they're all too happy to sacrifice (i.e., transfer ownership to trump) in order to own the libs

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Trump, Scientology, Warren Jeffs, etc...

We never learn.

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We never learn.

entirely by design

https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/texas-gop-no-more-critical-thinking-in-schools/2012/06

We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Looked that up last year, dropped that from the Texas GOP platform over a decade ago. I suspect it was like CRT, a thing to get up in arms about that wasn't being taught anyway.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

"We" - speak for yourself. I've hated this guy since 1985

Buy a cheap piece of shit phone, spray it in a tacky gold colour and BAM, sorted.
You can still look like a complete cunt but without having to be robbed by a filthy orange paedophile.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think that was the intention.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 24 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Why aren't there being lawsuits filed for this? This has got to be illegal, isn't it? I know I'm being naive, but why, how?

[–] amateurcrastinator@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

Those checks and balances are going to kick in any day now!

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Because the supremes have ruled everything this president does is legal. If he can somehow make it an "official act."

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

Diana Ross nooooo!

[–] Alaknár@piefed.social 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Corrected title:

The "Trump phone" just "missed" another "release date"

We all know it's just a grift, right?

[–] AZX3RIC@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is something he learned from Elon.

Roadster pre-orders was nothing more than an interest free loan.

Just roll a tatty low end Android phone in gold glitter and burn a grand.

It'll be classier and probably work better.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't speak a dialect of English that uses that word but context clues tell me "tatty" means "the shittiest barely functional one electron away from being a brick phone fractions of a penny can buy".

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

When I've heard "tatty," it's been short for "tattered." Like "threadbare." However, as you said, from context I assume that's not what's meant here.

And yet they all hated the Obama phone…

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 weeks ago

Well yeah, the Obama phone thing was actually trying to help people.

[–] amateurcrastinator@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

That tan suit was a national shame

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

How many ~~fools~~ people pre-ordered one?

[–] rainbowbunny@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

Well dang it everyone. It's Cyberpunk 2077 all over again. /j

I don't even want the latest Galaxy, Pixel, or douchiephone... Why would I want a trump phone?

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

To advertise your advanced douche status.
