Along with a Trump Phone!

Will you be buying one? Phones start at $499. They run on Android.

I'll keep my old Samsung.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

So the guy who threatens Apple with 25% tariffs is now starting a phone company. Seems very Biden family like.

I wonder if he'll be doing a deal with McDonalds to market a McTrump burger as well?

President Trump isn't profiting from being President! In fact, he gave up a life up luxury and is donating his salary back so that he can dedicate his life to public service!

Setting aside the real potential for corruption here, this is a real head scratcher from a business standpoint. It raises the question. How many of these ideas are scams BY Trump, and how many are scams ON Trump? We've seen how easily he can be manipulated as POTUS. I think it's a fair bet that he's being hustled on multiple fronts on the business side. That's what this looks like to me.

Anything to deflect blame from the orange idol, right?

He's not getting scammed, he's following the same business model he's used his entire life. He takes someone else's product, licenses the "Trump" name/brand, and watches the money roll in as the low-IQ morons buy everything because they have been convinced that "Trump" = luxury.

Is it too much to ask for POTUS to not release his "Trump Phone" as the Middle East is burning?

****ing clown.......

The best thing about Trump products is how triggering they are for liberals.

the Middle East has been burning forever and will continue, so there's not a good time to do anything apparently.

Is this phone required for student attending Trump Univeristy?
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

Another licensing deal.

The dude has a name with a following, him being POTUS for 5 of his 79 years is not the only reason his name is famous and licensable.

And its a bit of a unique position for Presidents as First Amendment protections sort of limit their ability to prevent Trump dolls, masks, plates, shirts, etc.

My thoughts, seems like the Trump brand would rather control licensed products vs a free for all of folks selling Trump wares along the National Mall and he gets nothing.

Here, they can license the Trump name and get some control in exchange for the "officially licensed product" label.

"Made in America" means "final assembly in America". The chips are still going to be Chinese or Taiwanese.

My mom bought about fifty Trump coins and absolutely believes they'll be currency "any day now". That was five years ago

That's not even remotely close to what the biden's have been involved in "allegedly".

Selling influence, data, and secrets for cash/favors are more the biden's MO. Not trying to market a cellphone model.

The Trump Organization on Monday announced Trump Mobile, which will offer 5G service with an unlimited plan (the "47 Plan") priced at $47.45 per month. The new venture joins the lineup of the company's other businesses, which span luxury hotels, golf clubs, casinos, retail and other real estate properties. The president's two oldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, made the announcement at a press conference at Trump Tower in Manhattan.
Solid troll...

I sure hope Trump's son doesn't start selling some of his personal artwork and paintings, because that would look really bad

The goal tending is absolutely amazing and simultaneously disgusting. Can you imagine Biden or Obama doing this?

The party of complete hypocrisy.

Dear Leader Thank You.

I've been accused of a lot of things, but I think this might be the first time I've ever been accused of goaltending for Donald Trump.

I'm just calling it like I see it. The scam you're referring to works well with cheap collectibles. It doesn't work so well with phones and mobile networks. Companies like this have major startup costs and take a long time to break even. Just getting access to a network is crazy expensive. By the time they figure it all out his presidency will be over along with the opportunity to benefit from the office. I'll bet that someone in Trump's ear will make a lot of money in "consulting" fees regardless of whether this venture succeeds or fails.

Presidents' family makes money off of name...

But hey, finger paintings...Amirite?

The gaslighting for Trump is as obnoxious as it was for Biden

Hopefully the Dems eyes are being opened to their own blind spots, hypocrisy, and cognitive dissonance, but I doubt it.

Pretty sure the riots and their general response has demonstrated they've learned nothing.

Absolutely love how his sycophants think him donating his $400k salary, when he's worth billions and has made millions with stupid sh/t like the meme coins, is some type of ultimate act of sacrifice.
