I would love to make Trump storming out of the G7 the winner today. He's still furious over the Saturday debacle, and it was clear the other 6 countries think he's a laughing stock, but instead, I'm going to go with the Trump phone!
The Trump Organization has announced that they have started a new venture, Trump Mobile, and will release a new smartphone, the T1, which they initially said would be made in America. It won't anytime soon, but they still made the claim. It is also not a new cell phone network, as they are only reselling Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile network access.
The phone will retail for $499 and requires a non-refundable (HA!) $100 down payment. On top of that, you'll be required to pay $47.45 per month for it, but they are promising a slew of special services that will come with the phone, such as "device protection." They did not describe what "device protection" means, but it is likely through a third-party provider, like the other features for the T1, like roadside assistance, telehealth, and prescription services. Most people speculate that the phone comes with very basic versions of those services, and T1 users should anticipate numerous fees if they use those services beyond a basic level.
OH! And it's just a repackaged phone you can already buy. The T1 is incredibly similar to a T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G. The specifics of the display and cameras match the other phone perfectly.
What doesn't match up is the price. The full retail price of the T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G is $250, and it currently sells on Amazon for $169, $330 cheaper than the T1!
The sitting President is trying to hawk crappy cell phone serivce. WOW, no wonder the G7 countries mocked him.
For a scam, this is a really stupid one. Only an idiot would buy this, but that's exactly what Trump is banking on.
