600,000 people sent in $100 deposits for this thing—!😧 (Dumbass is laughing all the way to the bank. )
For nearly 600,000 Americans who trusted a brand built on the Trump name, the gold phone has become the latest entry in a long record of ventures that took their money and delivered nothing.
They wanted a Trump experience and they got one. Could argue they got what they paid for.
There’s also no evidence that they sold 600k phones. They couldn’t just made that number up.

You’re right. They didn’t sell 600k phones. They took money from 600k people, but there was no phone sold.
Fr, I’d be shocked if they sold 600
I can believe the 600k number. If i was a maga chump I could be led to believe that’s a premium phone, and getting a “premium” phone for 500 bucks in this day and age is unheard of. Almost like it would be too good to be true.
I wonder if I could buy Nokia, and start selling the N-Gage again.
Hey, Taco-Talkin’ has a whole new relevant meaning these days! Plus it launched at $299.
Now this is a sticker I want. Gonna start slapping this puppy on gas pumps over the stupid “I did that!” Biden stickers.
Pro tip: there are now Trump “i did that” stickers on Amazon for CHEAP.
Bonus: it’s the picture of him looking into the eclipse with no eye protection and pointing
…and by buying them on Amazon, you’re filling the coffers of fascist supporter Bezos. How ironic.
They cost much more on other sites, but you can get them.
It is deeply ironic the fascists are making money with this. And realy sad.
In addition, buying there of Amazon might bring along a visit from some rather unfriendly people in the not to distant future.
I don’t want to buy anything with his face on it because I’m tired of seeing him everywhere. But thanks for the heads up.
Hell yeah. Remind me again how many stickers it took to stop the Nazis? History’s fuzzy.
Remember folks. If your resistance doesn’t immediately stop all of fascism and isn’t exactly what WizardofFrobozz thinks you should be doing, then acts if resistance aren’t worth doing at all!
“Immediately,” as if you haven’t watched this happen in slow motion for 30 years.
Tell me you don’t understand anything about propaganda and it’s role in war without telling me.
Great, so what else are you bringing to “the war”?
Are you asking for tips?
No, we’re watching Americans sleepwalk into fascism, it seems.
I take it you have a list of things we could be doing that you’d like to share with the class?
A fool and their money are soon parted.
I mean, I have a feeling that a lot of these pre-orders or $100 deposits were probably bulk purchased by CEOs as bribes.
I can’t believe they got screwed by Biden AGAIN!
Thanks, Obama !
I know that you meant this as 100% sarcasm, but this is going to be the real answer.
It’s going to be Biden, possibly Clinton, Samsung, and possibly whoever else has slighted or failed to bribe him who are at fault. And these dumb, hateful mother fuckers are going to accept it and keep worshiping Trump.
What I really love about this scam is that it was NOT going to just be a 3rd party phone with Trump branding. They were going to actually make a new, 100% American designed and made phone by the Trump brand. And this was going to happen for a mere $500.
At that pricepoint for a startup they wouldn’t be paying anyone anything. That is a pipedream of a kickstarter pricepoint for a phone. Them blaming Samsung for this would be laughable
Surprised they didn’t throw in a soulja boy game console too!
Cultists live in a world that is sufficiently disjoint from the world others live in to make it make sense for them.
Fucking Madani, I swear!
Dammit Obama.
Why do people really fall for this? And even worse: Who buys a Trump phone?
There are cult followers that have had cult leaders predict the rapture on multiple events and their followers still think it’s gonna happen one of these times. Sometimes it’s easier to believe insanity than they could be wrong.
you mean magats fall for these, everyone see this is a scam a mile away. he did this with bibles, CRYPTO, passports,etc.
R*tarded trump supporters
Hahaha fuming. Doubt that, they will come back for more.
Idk man, my neighborhood (in SoCal) had no shortage of Trump flags. Every single one is down since the Epstein saga. I dont think the phone is the thing that did it, and without a doubt, some cultists will be trying to dig Trump’s corpse up after he’s 6 feet under so they can shove their head up his ass and see enlightenment. But I think MAGA is dead unless they can shift the cult of personality onto a different personality, which is unlikely imo.
As a someone who is also from SoCal (Redneck side of the IE) I’ve noticed it as well, though most of them have been replaced by signs for that pissrag Bianco or however you spell it.
this is important to understand: they weren’t buying the phone. they were owning the libs. For every magat who’s furious, there’s four to six hogs who’ll feel good because all they care is that you don’t want that money go to him.
Honestly, at this point I think MAGA are just fin-subs and like it that way. Keep sending Daddy Don your social security checks you little fin-cucks.
I would grant them a modicum of grace if they hadn’t had 40 fucking years to see what he was about. But they had it. And they chose this.
Did you see the poll where 40% of maga said Trump could beat them up in a fight. These people have a humiliation fetish.
But The Apprentice!
(Apparently all the real business guys were too busy, that’s how the producers picked Trump.)
He was the perfect pick for a show like the apprentice. Tacky showy idea of an 80s businessman. It was clear on thw show that he wasnt really involved with his own business nkr the show tasks or planning.
Sitting in meetings or analysing data on a screen doesnt make good tv. Neither did trump, but the producers did.
Had to look up what a finsub was. The more you know.
😳😬
It’s a submarine sandwich from Finland, right?
Believe it or not the thing on a submarine that is where a fin would be on a marine animal is also called a conning tower
If you willingly gave money to a two-bit con-artist who is widely known for robbing or defrauding nearly everyone he has ever done business with, then you got what you had coming.
He didn’t rob everyone… stormy Daniels however might be the only one he publicly actually ever paid (even if he tried to get a refund).
I’m willing to bet there are a lot of underage women and other women who he paid though who haven’t come forward
Looks like you have at least one such person down voting you. That person must be such a lonely loser.
The clearest signal yet that buyers may never see either a phone or their money came with a revised terms of service published on 6 April 2026. The updated document states explicitly that paying a deposit ‘does not constitute a completed purchase and does not create a binding legal contract.’ The payment is described as ‘a conditional opportunity to buy the device if Trump Mobile eventually chooses to sell it,’ with the company retaining all control over whether a phone is produced at all.
That is absolutely fucking hilarious.
I also don’t think contracts work that way, otherwise that shit would be WAY more common. heh. But I’m also pretty sure nobody will see a penny back anyway.
I’d feel bad for them if they weren’t fucking in the middle of turning our nation into a fascist hellhole.
that’s how terms of service work on the internet. companies alter the terms whenever and however they like, and often to the detriment of the end user. it’s technically not legal, but they do it anyway.
If a tech company changes the agreement, you are able to stop using the service if you don’t like the new terms. With this phone people have already put money down for it. As long as they didn’t agree to these new terms, they should be eligible for a refund if the product never ships.
Yeah sure, but how long will it take until they see any money?
I don’t agree. The clearest signaal that the buyers would be screwed was the Trump brand name. He’s grift incarnate.
Let me know how the class action goes.
His kids will have bankrupted whatever shell company they spun up for this whole grift.
They never learn, do they? The grift that just keeps on giving.
And people are now getting emails saying that their phone will never arrive, with no mention of them getting their deposits back.
Anyone have the text of the actual email?
Being looking around for a while, no outlet seems to have any screenshot or transcript of it. Starting to think it’s just something Twitter randos hallucinated and a couple outlets fell for it, sadly.
Seems like people trolling indeed. Tried to find confirmation everywhere but couldn’t find anything. In fact the latest confirmed news on this subject is The Verge (May 1st) - trump phone receives PTCRB certification
It’s literally the 4th entry on Google from someone called Zeke Sky.
Nice try mate.
Link please? Everything I found on that guy’s profile is this post with the same screenshot of the ToS the article has, nothing about the mail or confirmation that it’s not coming.
