    You can’t even make a freaking grill scrubber without importing parts from China, even if you were trying NOT to import from China. Apple couldn’t even make their phone in the US because the most trivial thing was insanely expensive compared to overseas. Yes, the tiny little screws. I’ve got beach front property in Arizona to sell to these jackasses that believe this moron solved US manufacturing problems in just 6 months.

    It’s a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G

    Chinese company + Chinese manufacturing.

    This guy is such a fucking crook.

      He’s not a crook. And you will realize that as soon as his tax audit is over so he can release his taxes.

      So a $130 budget phone that they are selling for 500? Seems about right.

          If you combine it with the sneakers and watch it buys you an extra 3 months before being taken to the gulags. Unless you’re brown, then it’s only an extra 3 minutes.

        Yeah it’s the Wingtech Revvl 7 5g, not the pro. The pro has 4 cameras, the non pro has the distinctive 3 cams.

        Edit: in typical Chinese fashion it seems there are a lot of variants of this phone. It’s probably the kind of company that if you order 1000 or so, they can create the exact combination of parts you want.

        But the Trump phone is definitely one of these variants.

    Steve Hou of Bloomberg LP, found the same phone on Amazon. Trump is selling his phone for $499, but it can be purchased on Amazon for $169. It can also be purchased in gold

    Everything is a fucking grift

      Which means you can buy the $169 phone spray paint it with gold paint and sell it to a MAGA fan for $1,000 when the demand goes up.

    The Trump business’ press release about the phone purports that the device, The T1, is “designed and built in the United States.” The report noted that Apple has a similarly ambiguous claim, “Designed by Apple in California.” In Apple’s case, however, it has a disclaimer saying that the phones are assembled in India or China.

    How is that “similarly ambiguous”? Neither phone was built in the US; only the Trump phone creators lied and said it was.

      Two clear claims are similar levels of ambiguous; not very.

      Oh no! The best antidote is remembering he’s demented and close to death!

      And that he probably cried over the low parade turn out. I had to change my underwear after that joyful thought.

      They’ll add an exception for gold phones or something.
