    It’s a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G

    Chinese company + Chinese manufacturing.

    This guy is such a fucking crook.

    That phone looks very different, especially the cameras.

    Yeah it's the Wingtech Revvl 7 5g, not the pro. The pro has 4 cameras, the non pro has the distinctive 3 cams.

    Edit: in typical Chinese fashion it seems there are a lot of variants of this phone. It's probably the kind of company that if you order 1000 or so, they can create the exact combination of parts you want.

    But the Trump phone is definitely one of these variants.

    Steve Hou of Bloomberg LP, found the same phone on Amazon. Trump is selling his phone for $499, but it can be purchased on Amazon for $169. It can also be purchased in gold

    Everything is a fucking grift

    Which means you can buy the $169 phone spray paint it with gold paint and sell it to a MAGA fan for $1,000 when the demand goes up.

    The Trump business' press release about the phone purports that the device, The T1, is "designed and built in the United States." The report noted that Apple has a similarly ambiguous claim, "Designed by Apple in California." In Apple's case, however, it has a disclaimer saying that the phones are assembled in India or China.

    How is that "similarly ambiguous"? Neither phone was built in the US; only the Trump phone creators lied and said it was.

    I can't wait to accuse trump supporters of being antifa for not having a trump phone.

    After all immigrants have been forced out, all social safety nets removed, and child labour laws repealed; after the resulting widespread poverty and famine. When Americans have no choice but to work in sweatshops for a dollar a day, then US manufacturing will finally be competitive enough for trump merch to be made in the US.

    Can't wait for Dbrand to drop a dupe skin for the iPhone, that would be diabolical.

    Given the price and description, I was always assuming they were going to import a cheap Chinese android phone from a no-name manufacturer and then do the gold paint here and call it Made in the USA, like how other companies do one final assembly step here in order to make that claim.

    If they ieep grifting their own people this hard, surely there will come a time when their own voters are penniless and thus (in American democracy) powerless, right?

    These shit stains can’t even sell hats that are made in the USA let alone a phone.

    Not really, them setting up World Liberty Financial is more about their ability to control deeper tiers of the financial system so they can run scams nested within scams and push it all through crypto to hide any trails that might lead to corruption charges one he's "out of office."

    I mean when I first came across it (which was linked from a mass text advertisement from Truth Social in January), this is the quote that stood out to me:

    Developing American First investment vehicles is another step toward our goal of creating a robust ecosystem through which American patriots can protect themselves from the ever-present threat of cancellation, censorship, debanking, and privacy violations committed by Big Tech and woke corporations.”

    Notably the word "ecosystem".

    Yeah, this is a big part of how all the broligarchy tech guys got involved with the campaign. Once the schism over social media and who controlled where you can say what started 2017-2020, there was push for and investment in full tech stacks down to full data centers controlled by Trump Media. For them, they see this as already appealing to the same captive audience they already extort daily for "donations." Gab, MeWe, Rumble, TruthSocial, Parler, and a dozen other smaller platforms formed to try and pick at a market they hoped would be big enough to leech from for decades and not let just Zuck have all the access.

    These same people on the tech side had been pushing for crypto since its inception as a new economic system. Its part of why Peter Thiel added a whole crypto wallet to Brave browser. Which is why the Trump meme coin is on the Solana blockchain, it's the same kind of guy they got wrapped up with, that also wants to have Network States where the wealthy can be super-citizens. So their solution to everything, being ultra-wealthy people detached from reality, is to just build compete infrastructure from the ground up to suit themselves and be maximally insulated from criminal prosecution, including financial platforms, while enjoying all the amenities of living in a country built by millions of hardworking Americans.

    Orange would have been the better color
