People are basically buying a phone disguised in a MAGA hat. Were people under some impression that Eric and Don Jr were designing and assembling phones or that they were taking people's money under a promise of a phone only to give it to their dad to buy bitcoin so he can get with Putin and pee on mattresses?

so the trumps were dupped into thinking that they were really selling phones and cell service?


Donald J Trump participates in the announcement of Trump Mobile, in New York's Trump Tower, Monday, June 16, 2025

"We are going to be introducing an entire package of products where people can come and they can get telemedicine on their phones for one flat monthly fee, roadside assistance on their cars, unlimited texting to 100 countries around the world," said the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

Seems reasonable a licensing agreement would include some endorsements / marketing.

Or, got 'em! Just another Trump scam.

It does.

Of course, I am not sure what the scam is at this point. Have people not been offered a refund? Has the phone been cancelled?

Pure TDS to take some piss articles from lib news with lots of assumptions, innuendo, etc all painted in the most negative light, to perpetuate the misconception that all Trump products are a scam, a graft, a ripoff.

Here's a thought... if you don't want a phone wearing a MAGA hat, don't buy it.

The vibrate mode was replaced with twitchy.

Isn't this phone thing from 2023???

The Trump hone in action:?

Biden's would have costs 10x, both cans would be dented and the string would have been eaten by migrants.

But is the govt handing them out?

If not, I dont give a ****

If anyone here is in BCS there is a bottle of "Trump wine" at Total Wine that has been on the shelf since they opened some years ago. Maybe one of y'all can give it a good home with the rest of your *collection*.

Go all out - get the second, minute and hour hand.

There is a high end watch thread in the H-Tine forum. Surely Trump watches are routinely discussed.

LOL Those are two phrases you don't often see together.


Are "high-end watches" often made in Mexico or China?

Even I didn't waste $100 on this. My BTW - most all of these are licensing deals. Not all licensing deals work out. Trumps have always put licensing revenue ahead of brand reputation as the brand has shown to be resilient to bad deals. Hell, you could argue any controversy for Trump just creates more value.

---

His a great con artist and he's got the perfect base for it. Hes going to come out of this presidency 10x richer just like everyone else.

---

Pretty bold claim considering he came out 600 million dollars lighter after his first go around.

Yeah, he's a narcissist, like almost all (if not all) politicians, but money means nothing to him. Now, claims that he's trying for this award or that award would be more up his alley.

"Name in lights" sort of thing, but even then...he literally has his name, in lights, across the globe, so....

Hecho en Mexico

I probably would get the gold sneakers before the watch.

Don't care. No issue. Best president ever!

Not delusional...... Just waiting for the con-man to fulfill all those lofty promises. Mainly sending people to the gallows for the treason they committed. i.e. HRC and Obama (for the election crap/Russiagate), Biden (for his Ukraine crap) and all of their lackeys. That and protecting pedophiles.


I'll give him credit once it happens, until then going to keep calling out the bull**** he's peddling......

everyone who complains about this needs to provide links to their comments on the business grifts of the last president's completely useless debauched son.

---

people always want to whatabout the trump family's insane levels of corruption and grift as if they haven't enriched themselves off the presidency orders of magnitude more than anyone before them

---

Prove it.

So funny to read the Trump hate!

Man I think I have been one of Trump most loyal supporters. I don't listen to anything the left manages to dig up……and it's all because them. Feeding on every gotcha moment like a school of piranhas on a dead calf.

With that said. I can say I do not own a pair of DJT gold sneakers, or Wine, or what ever. There will be folks who buy and will never complain. There will be folks who buy because they want the 15 sec to scream how crooked Orange Man Bad is.

You add those two groups up and money could possibly be made and I am fine with that. No one made anyone buy anything. Unlike the Democrats who take from our tax reserves through criminal acts.

it's wild that we're 1/4 of the way through trump 2.0 and this is where we are.

we've destroyed our relationship with our closest allies in europe
we've driven india, brazil, and the rest of BRICS away instead of drawing the ones we can closer
on the brink of war in south america
threatening military strikes on mexico
completely alienated canada
pushed the ag sector to the brink with tariff gamesmanship and poor execution
consumer confidence (michigan index near all time lows)
senior leaders discussing classified military information on unsecure channels

none of this was underway before this admin took office. all this happening while our president and his family are being gifted billion-dollar airplanes by arabic aristocrats, launching self-branded cryptocurrencies, starting bogus cell phone companies, and lord only knows what else.

it doesn't matter what party is in charge or who it is in the white house, this is getting ridiculous and it seems like we're not really moving in the right direction here... what exactly is this administration doing well?

and please, spare me the liberal namecalling. i'm a conservative, even if it's tough to believe conservatives exist that don't just roll over and profess their love for the leader of this goat rodeo of an administration.

How many Trump phones have been received by the people placing downpayments? Will they get this money back?

Fleeced.

It's weird neither the article nor you can point to someone not getting their money back.

And you can bring your own device or get an iPhone or Android phone from them, not sure if you get a MAGA sticker with your purchase.

Again, swing and a miss. You have nothing, you guys always turn up nothing. On to the next "scandal"!

Disappointed not to see this posted yet:

You may be conservative but the delusional take posted above is comprised of misinformation, false information, and a completely biased take on reality that it defies initial comprehension.

It's also a complete derail. Start a new thread if you truly want me to dismantle the hot takes posted. Happy to do it, sticking to the facts and the issues presented.

Why aren't these products made in the US?
