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.
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.

Even as a 'lets see what this grift is all about'...why the hell would anyone order this horseshit..beyond stupid.
To rip it apart on a software and hardware level to find the backdoors and spyware. We need to know how hardcore we are being spied on when the guy near us has one.

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.
'Eventually': Eric Trump admits new mobile phone isn't being made in the USA
But it's golden and has a convicted felon's name on it. That should make up for the rest of the value right?

Let me guess. It's a rebranded Chinese phone that typically goes for like 50 bucks?
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. Apparently it's a slight cosmetic remodel of a Chinese phone that costs $170 elsewhere.

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.
In much the same way that Confederate memorabilia is collectable.
As in, "You should avoid anyone who collects this shit. They're probably a white nationalist."

People are forgetting too that this is just a job that he can be fired from. The SCOTUS and Republicans can fire him at any moment, but they aren't. These middle managers suck.

He saw the Escobar phone and thought it was a good plan.

Or you can spray paint your old iPhone with gold coloring, slap a Trump logo on it and sell it on ebay to some unsuspecting MAGA fan for $2,000.
It's not hard to copy Trump's signature ... you could throw that on the phone and charge $5,000 and tell everyone that you bought it at a MAGA rally where Trump signed it in 2024.
If they can grift .... we can all grift harder

Journalism doing things the right way would try this out. You investigate one thing, learn about another, and inform.

This is what a software developer would call a con-action error.

You can even buy a refurb for about $80, which is hilarious lol

There's a disposable vape with that name.

Imagine if earlier fascists were as corrupt with conflicts of interests. Maybe we could call via the Adolfone.

The US is a failed state. There's no other way to put it.

The post link was a failure, too, being locked behind a paywall and it blocks reader mode. Fuck this entire article.
