Where are the Trump phones? 590,000 Americans paid $100 dollar down payment to get 'The greatest phone in the history of phones'. $59,000,000...and nobody has phone. The Trump family has $59,000,000 and there hasn't been a single phone delivered to anyone. A GOLD 'Made in America' phone...THE BEST PHONE EVER!!!!! People are asking 'Where's my phone?' Hmmmmmmm, hey MAGA, do you guys have any idea what's going on?? Surely the Trumps aren't scamming us...if anyone can find out what's up let us know.

I find no claim ready-to-ship. Instead, a lot of "maybe"s:

"Deposit Purpose

"A preorder deposit provides only a conditional opportunity if Trump Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the Device for sale. A deposit is not a purchase, does not constitute acceptance of an order, does not
create a contract for sale, does not transfer ownership or title interest,
does not allocate or reserve specific inventory, and does not guarantee that
a Device will be produced or made available for purchase.

"A binding sales contract is formed only if all of the following occur: (1) Trump Mobile makes the Device available for sale; (2) you complete checkout; (3) you submit full payment; and (4) Trump Mobile accepts and successfully processes payment. Until those conditions are satisfied, no enforceable agreement for purchase exists. No Price Lock or Promotion Guarantee

"The deposit does not lock in pricing, promotions, service plans, taxes,
fees, shipping costs, or other commercial terms. Final pricing and offers
will be disclosed at the time of purchase..

"Estimated ship dates, launch timelines, or anticipated production schedule
are non-binding estimates only. Trump Mobile does not guarantee that: the Device will be commercially released; regulatory approvals (including FCC authorization) will be obtained; carrier certification will be secured; production will commence or continue; or delivery will occur within any specific timeframe. Trump Mobile will not be responsible for delay, modification, or failure to release a Device..
No Guarantee of Network Compatibility or Performance

At least, the $100 deposits can be refunded by request:

"If you cancel your deposit before completing a purchase, you may request a full refund. Refund requests must be submitted through Trump Mobile customer support prior to completion of a final sale. If Trump Mobile cancels or discontinues the Device offering prior to sale, Trump Mobile will issue a
full refund of the deposit amount paid. Deposits do not accrue interest, are non-transferable, and have no independent cash value except as expressly provided in these Terms or required by applicable law. Approved refunds will
be issued to the original payment method and may take several business days
to process, depending on your financial institution and other events outside our reasonable control. Exclusive Remedy; Limitation of Liability

as someone who's been in mfg for 30 years, NOTHING is
truly made in america. it's all china. we might get shit and stamp something on it, but it's made someplace else. or part of it is. the important part.

it's not really IMPORTANT; people just like to hang onto shit trump says.
like when he made a typo people were making mugs and tv shirts.

He could have been told that it was made in america. It could be a deal fell through. and like i said, things can be 'made in the usa' but be entirely comprised of foreign parts.

if our country was a better country that didn't sell itself out due to politicians, we could have phones built here. Sadly, china is a better country through hard work.

Where I work, most of our components are made in Utah, However
one component is made in Mexico, I work at the assembley plant as a
trainer where we put the parts together for shipment to all the auto companies.

if you look up china's industrial revolution you will see that they took over basically everything.

i know all this but i'll paste from the internets because i'm lazy:

Proto-industrialization (1978-1988): Moving away from centrally planned mandates, China encouraged rural enterprises and collective ownership in
small towns. This unleashed localized market competition, boosted peasant incomes, and provided millions of jobs outside of traditional state-owned enterprises.


Light Mass Production (1988-1998): The country shifted its focus to labor-intensive mass production. By utilizing its vast labor force, China became the world's largest producer and exporter of textiles, toys, and furniture.


Heavy and Advanced Manufacturing (1998-Present): This phase shifted from manufacturing simple consumer goods to mastering the "means of mass production". This saw massive infrastructure scaling, steel production, and a transition into high-tech manufacturing, culminating in global dominance in sectors like electric vehicles (EVs) and green tech


those parts from utah probably have something from china in them.

It was probably assembeled in the USA, A lot of components are maufactured abroad, then assembled in the USA.

I heard California passed a law saying you can't label a product as "made in the USA" if a certain percentage or higher of its parts were not made in the US. I heard of this because I follow some guitar forums, and Fender (guitar maker, located in California) was affected by this, because now they can't label their US-made guitars as made in the USA. Apparently they're labeling those guitars with "Coronoa, California" now instead.

I didn't pay a now, non-refundable deposit for a phone that advertised

$126.

"MADE IN THE USA!"
"DESIGNED AND BUILT IN THE UNITED STATES"
"Proudly American"

"American hands behind every device"

Then they shouldn't have advertised it as MADE IN THE USA, when it's
readily obvious that it's a knock-off chinese phone.

I suppose they finally took the call from Trump's own FTC reminding
them of the rules regarding MADE IN USA claims.

So, what's the interest over 10 months on 59 million dollars?
