extremely non-zero chance the entire site and payment system was coded by morons with chatgpt
The preferred term is "vibe coding" nowadays!

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, hope this spreads quickly as a lesson to everyone avoid that crap!

For those OOTL (like I was):

The Trump Administration is investigating the former FBI director for posting a photo of seashells that spelled “86 47.”

At this point, his sons are just vibe scamming. Kind of surprised that they haven't started a gun company yet. Truth rifles that literally blow up in his followers' faces.

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
And they'll ironically lose the lawsuit about the lies and deception of this, the defense of which will be funded by donations from the idiots that buy this phone and receive messages every hour asking for more money for the legal defense fund.

Clearly the wrong price; should be going for $86.47.
I don't get it

Those who buy this deserve it.

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.But the world's best professional bullshitter wrote on Truth that it's built in the USA, it's not a China phone

vibe coding sound way too cool for what it is

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?
Because removing a headphone jack takes courage

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.
Land of the free!*

I don't get it
86 is a term used in restaurants to tell the staff when a product is no longer available. 47 means the 47th president of the US

Even as a 'lets see what this grift is all about'...why the hell would anyone order this horseshit..beyond stupid.
Well hopefully he does a charge back on his card if he's smart. I wouldn't give his ass a dime.

Which American companies actually manufacture displays, ram, CPUs, batteries etc. for cellphones in America?

Latest sneak peak of the phone in action:

I don't get it
Americans say "86 [thing]" to mean "get rid of [thing]"

...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.
It seems a lot of people have forgotten that proper journalism is more than repeating what someone tweets
