You're fucking shitting me. I refuse to believe that's reality and you can't convince me otherwise.

eventually it will be illegal to use anything but Trump products

and at some point Trump to want to be the calendar, too.

edit: and that phone will prolly turn off if you record the police; and I can't imagine the amount of spying on users that that phone must do.

Thing is, there's going to be a lot of public attention on that "Made in the USA" claim, given how central it is to Trump's domestic and foreign policy.

Sure, the FCC can turn a blind eye, but all it takes is for one worker at the assembly plant to call up a journalist. And let's face, and journalist worth their salt is going to be hanging around every bar near that place. Even trying to screen specifically for MAGA friendly workers won't help them much when one of those workers feels betrayed by how much of Trump's product is actually coming from China.

My point is, there's no good way to keep this under wraps. If they don't actually build this thing in the US, word is going to get around, and it's going to be seen as a total repudiation of Trump's entire tariff strategy.

He has done and said much worse things. No one cares. The people buying these phones will never hear about it.

The difference, you have to remember, is that the worse stuff is all hurting the people they want him to hurt. But betraying his made in America promises hurts the people who voted for him. That's when they suddenly start to care.

You're fucking shitting me. I refuse to believe that's reality and you can't convince me otherwise.

Huawei? 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.

Looking forward to a map produced next year by some thinly veiled US-supported NGO that shows corruption in the world and America will still be not corrupt but America's enemies will be very corrupt.

Is this

Phone service under the direct control of the President of the United States of America

Small government?

Americas enemy

So... Greenland?

Who's network does it run on?

Let me sell you a Trump steak.
