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.

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.

Sounds like an easy way out of this hell hole.

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.

It will be a bog standard white label china phone with android, a custom wallpaper and maybe some cover/protector like you can get on temu.
It's not like they develop their own hardware configuration, apps or phone os. -
extremely non-zero chance the entire site and payment system was coded by morons with chatgpt

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.

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

Of course the phone is gold. Does it come with a stylus shaped like a golf club and diaper as well? Or are those extra?
Edit: Looked the specs. It has a headphone jack and expandable memory. How can Trump get that right and most phone manufacturers can't?
