    This kind of shit is so irritating.

    I say it all the time to my close friends and family.
    On this board… it can be fun to watch the meltdowns though.

    Trump (or the promoters of the phone) claim that it will be made in the US. My guess is that if the phone is actually made in the US at all it will probably be made from components sourced from outside the US maybe with components sourced from Samsung the largest maker of Android phones or maybe with components sourced from India, Vietnam or even China where Google Android phones are made.

    As far as tariffs are concerned, Trump being the decider in chief will undoubtedly decide that his phones including their components are entitled to an exemption from the tariffs.

    As far as the emoluments clause is concerned Trump decided that he can opt a long time ago going all the way back to his first administration.

    I don't get it ..... it's okay for the Biden's to take bribes/payoffs from the Chinese, Ukrainians. etc .... but it's not okay for Trump to hustle money from (ie bilk) his MAGA followers?

    Who cares. If you don’t like it. Don’t buy it. I don’t buy any of the million books from anyone on either side. Amazing the stuff that spins people up

    Kamala, Omar, AOC and Schumer are free to manufacture and sell whatever they want.

    I think some on the left are missing a great opportunity here. This is another Trump trinket they can torch or otherwise destroy in a TDS rage and/or during one of their "NO KING" protests. They should be looking forward to the new Trump phone!!

    agree. They are free to purchase 1000 phones and throw them off a bridge in solidarity. That would really show Trump.

    I 1000% guarantee it will not be made in the US at those prices quoted. Apple said it would cost something like $2000 to sell US made iPhones, and they likely have massive influence over suppliers. This will definetly be made in Asia, and will either be ripped off IP or some rebranded low level manufacturer equivalent to 5 year old tech. Their service will probably be something like rebranded Cricket Wireless….

    Unless I missed it Joe Biden and not even Hunter have been engaging in corruption at anywhere near the level of the Donald and his family of grifters. The total of what Hunter made from scamming the Ukrainians and Chinese is less than one tenth of one percent of what the Trumps have made from foreign interests and the grifts from the Donald's gullible supporters in the less than five months that the Donald has been in office.

    You are deep into Gainesville green if you think Joe or Hunter are capable of manufacturing and selling anything other than influence and blow paint. Emphasis on blow

    again…..at any time anyone from either side is free to sell swag. The left is just salty the only things they can sell are things they force others to buy

    I’m going to LOL when T-Mobile sues these dolts for basically copying their name. Guarantee you they didn’t think it through.

    Lol, what are you deep into that convinced you that the Trumps have ever successfully manufactured anything or will be manufacturing this?

    Do you know what a licensing deal is?

    I am going to have to laugh for a bit at the image in my head of Eric Trump managing an assembly line of phone workers...

    If this article is accurate, we might soon see other products, from cookware to sheets. I see varying degrees of potential problems. Sure, hawking $100 and $1,000 Bibles may be tacky - but certainly less concerning to me than his reported willingness to accept a jet from Qatar. That story raised eyebrows even among some of his supporters.

    Home-goods companies prepare new Trump-linked products

    The Righties will never admit that they would never accept a Leftie version of Trump.

    They get mad over tan suits and uppitiness, but tell the Left to get over it when it comes to all things Trump.

    Oh, you are just beginning to realize it NOW?

    Let me guess, you were one of the supporters who thought it was the people advising our Dear Leader who were to blame.

    It’s a common mistake.

    Even the Nazis made it if it makes you feel any better - at least the ones who survived…

    Tan is bad in their world.

    Brownshirts are their favorite, but black makes them giddy because it’s slimming as long as they don’t stand next to the concentration camp inmates.

    There is absolutely no shame in the greatest grifter of all time. We all deserve better, including MAGA, than the Orange Pitch Man debasing the office of President of the United States. We need to do better than:
    • Trump vs Hillary
    • Old Joe vs Old Don
    • 80 year old President Joe
    • Old Joe thinking he should run again at 83
    • Democrats listening to old Nancy when she was out of office and her coup to replace Joe with Harris, who had a hard time convincing her own party that she was the best candidate.
    • The election of an even crazier “Archie Bunker” version of Benedict Trump, whose agenda is all about his personal enrichment and petty personal grievances, who will be even older than Old Joe when his term is up.
    • A disgusting verdict by the Supreme Court that states that the are cool with criminal behavior by the executive branch
    • A party that has no allegiance to the American people, only loyalty to a corrupt reality tv host.
    Both sides share equal blame. Both parties suck. We really need to do better than this. “.”
