Surprised it doesn’t have a swastika on it
schrieb am 16. Juni 2025, 15:47 zuletzt editiert vonTrump like a mob boss keeps the "heat" away from him as much as possible. He'll let his cult army march around with their swastikas, and if asked "knows nothing about it". And he'll turn around and instruct the same people he doesn't know anything about to "stand back and stand by".

But it has "5000mAh long life camera". Seems good to me.

It depends on how they define "built."
The Moto X was touted as being built in the US, it was assembled in Texas with parts made in Asia.
schrieb am 16. Juni 2025, 15:58 zuletzt editiert von captdust@sh.itjust.worksI believe the Made in USA Labeling Act passed 2021 would prevent following the Moto X approach of just final assembly, but I suppose it's up to trump's FTC to make the final call regardless, easy enough for them to issue an exception.
Specifically:
it is an unfair or deceptive act or practice within the meaning to label any product as Made in the United States unless the final assembly or processing of the product occurs in the United States, all significant processing that goes into the product occurs in the United States, and all or virtually all ingredients or components of the product are made and sourced in the United States.

Who is still buying all these crappy products? Is it all just bribes from foreign countries?
schrieb am 16. Juni 2025, 16:05 zuletzt editiert von drcake@lemmy.worldFor the people buying it, the product itself doesn’t matter. It’s got Trump’s name on it and the money they spend goes to him, so he can “own the libs”

Bets its not made in America? lol
schrieb am 16. Juni 2025, 16:13 zuletzt editiert vonI'll bet every dollar I have. Literally no one makes phones in America. It would take a giant company like Apple or Google billions of dollars and a decade of construction and education/recruiting, then they'd have to sell them for a competitive price out of the kindness of their hearts, because there's no financial motivation.

It's definitely going to be the Escobar Phone all over again. Anyone who accidentally receives one will get a foil-wrapped $150 Huawei handset with a preinstalled background image.
schrieb am 16. Juni 2025, 16:14 zuletzt editiert von zip@lemmy.blahaj.zoneHuawei? I think you're giving them too much credit, haha. I'd guess it's likely to be some unknown, no-name garbage, like you'd get from Wish or Ali-Express (or similar) for dirt cheap.

It amazes me the sane half (third?) of the US hasn't overthrown this government yet. Or have they fled to North Korea where things are much better?

This would be REALLY Corrupt if he was President who ALSO Ran every and ALL Agencies that REGULATED this thing! FORTUNATELY Trump is ONLY the President who has Lackeys who Run ALL the Agencies that Regulate this and do LITERALLY WHATEVER he says! So it's NOT Corrupt!

schrieb am 16. Juni 2025, 16:37 zuletzt editiert vonWhy should there be? Everything this administration does is fraudulent and has conflict of interest. It's ok because they say it's okay. You are thinking more like when things were democratic perhaps?

Looking at the webpage, it's obviously a 100% Chinese product licensing the Trump name.
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.
If you ever thought the Trumps weren't grifters, this should clear it up:
“Trump Mobile is going to revolutionize cellphones, mobile calling,” Eric Trump told Fox News
There's absolutely nothing revolutionary here. It's a cheap Chinese phone in a tacky case and an overpriced very-not-new MVNO phone service.
