I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong Amount

Yeah, I guarantee the people who collect it will also have a sizeable collection of nazi memorabilia too.
And claim they're just history buffs

The website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70. I received a confirmation email saying I’ll receive a confirmation when my order has been shipped, but I haven’t provided a shipping address or paid the full $499 price tag. It is the worst experience I’ve ever faced buying a consumer electronic product and I have no idea whether or how I’ll receive the phone.
I look forward to learning more about how terrible these phones turn out.
well i'm definitely shocked that the guy banned from operating a charity in new york because he scammed children with cancer would operate a shoddy business.

Daily reminder, Jimmy Carter willingly sold his peanut farm because his morality told him of his own viewpoints that it may be seen as unfair for a President to own business interests while serving the most important role of government. Which in his mind may come off as corrupt.
We now have a president who see's his name as a brand. That's where we've gone.
and that's why president carter was the last great and decent president the us has had.

Clearly the wrong price; should be going for $86.47.

It's much worse than that, he's actively exploiting his position in government for personal gain. They have a gold Trump credit card that advertises that it's "an official website of the US government".

Yep, apparently it's a cosmetically tweaked Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which goes for $170 under the T-Mobile brand on Amazon.
Eric Trump admitted it was going to be made in China, so the press release's description, "designed and built in the United States," is just a lie, or actually two lies.

cosmetically tweaked
It would have to be super tweaked considering the phone you referenced has four cameras, and a notch style front camera.
My bet is that this is a 10 second photoshop job and the actual phone will look nothing like that.
I mean if you do a difference blend of two of the cameras, you get a perfectly black circle (minus some blending at the edges):
.
This means that the cameras are exact pixel-perfect copies of each other arranged in that order by photoshop. They don't exist on any phone.

Usually he's not even involved in running the business, they're licensing deals where some scammer pays a few million up front to use the Trump name, which is then used to scam his followers.

Youtubers going for content.
Conceptually, it'll make one f of a collectors item one day there's no way enough will sell to make them common.
IDK about that, the Saudis have like a million units sitting in a warehouse somewhere.

Can't say I feel bad for you buddy. Count yourself lucky if your cc info isn't abused.
You are literally dealing with known felons.

The first thing that stood out to me is that the T from the phone logo in the thumbnail looks suspiciously similar to the T from T-Mobile. Like, almost identical to my untrained eye.
Not quite, but relatively close.

Well, that and he was complying with the Emoluments Clause. You know, that thing that should've seen Trump impeached on Inauguration Day -- 2017, not even just 2025!

With a track record like that, he's the first person I would trust. /s

There is hidden significance and symbolism throughout the device for those dedicated trumpies to uncover. For example, one easter egg is that the length of the screen is exactly 4x the length of trump’s dick.
Stuck the landing. Cheers.

Even as a 'lets see what this grift is all about'...why the hell would anyone order this horseshit..beyond stupid.
For the same reason they put bandages on their ears: they're fucking morons.

These are gonna be worse than the DethKlok phone, and that thing has spikes that stab your face when you use it.
Dunkin Hills approved
It also could be used as a weapon.

Worse than that, he's hosting $1M a plate dinners for "access" and attendees get things like pardons for their family members or government approval of business deals after paying these bribes.

Yes, I wouldn't assume the picture has anything to do with the phone (if any) people will actually receive.

Is this one of the ways that Palantir plans to do mass surveillance? I would not be surprised.

...because the author is an investigative journalist?
We all know it's a scam, but it's their job is to prove it. To prove it you have to (attempt to) buy it.
I agree any actual people trying to buy it are morons.
