    This shit pisses me off.

    If Biden/Obama/aoc were pulling this we’d hear about emoluments 24/7

    But Trump does it and dems are like oh maybe we should just see what happens….

    Then we have TrumpRX and Trump making millions off crypto

    GDISM

    What's next?

    • Trumpla, the EV manufacturer?
    • Trumpmart, selling nearly-rotten food at marked-up prices.
    • Trump Burder this one already exists.
    • Trumple Inc, consumer phone dropshipper.
    • Trumpazon, a marketplace where he takes a cut on all sales.
    • Trump Sauna, a PC games storefront.

    So technically, in this specific instance, Trump Mobile isn't run by Donald Trump. It's instead a separate company run by Don Jr and Eric Trump. That company is then licensing the "Trump" name from The Trump Organization.

    Now The Trump Organization is owned by Donald Trump, although officially run by Don Jr, Eric, etc.

    But you're absolutely right that all of this is bullshit. It's also why Trump is so pissed at New York AG Letitia James for investigating and uncovering all sorts of shady business practices.

    You're absolutely right that Congress should be doing something about it.

    Everything is a test to see if they can push things further. Hocking a vocal ass-sniffing donor's wares in an absurd and awkward showcase to troll the left while showing he was in on the joke was all part of a grift and a test.

    If you can do something so seemingly incompetent and bizarre, then you've cleared an opening to inject something more malignant next time.

    That's because I'm the aggregate they are all the same. Regardless of party most are corrupt and get along just fine behind close doors.

    I mean, Pelosi made over $100 million on the stock market via inside trading, a number of GOP do the same, maybe not well as her, but they do it, too.

    It's a bit of a wank article to be honest - it doesn't even go on to say if the SIM was delivered. Why not wait the extra day and publish the article after it was due to be delivered?

    If it didn't get delivered then it's easy meat for Trump-kicking, and if it did get delivered then you'd get some sort of review from some other poor fucker daft enough to sign up to it.

    Bit of a waste of time really.

    Because they're a journalist exposing a scam with POTUS's name on it.

    But literally everything he's ever done has been a scam. At some point it stopped being journalism and just became enabling our gullibility.

    Like, when 20 out of 20 endeavours the dude has put his name in have been scams... Do you really need an investigation of endeavour #21?

    And yet people keep buying, so clearly not everyone understands that.

    $14 won't enable him to do shit. In fact he'll be disabled if fewer people buy his scams as a result.

    It’s not even him. It’s just another scam company licensing the name to scam a few bucks outta some suckers.

    They’ll be long gone by the time anyone that gives a shit gets back in control of the FCC to hold them accountable

    Wait for knock-off Trump-branded goods on Temu and Alibaba. They'll probably be of better quality than the originals. And that's not saying they'll be anything more than worthless straight-to-landfill crap.

    Remember that those MAGA dumbasses aren't just wasting money. They're adding more power to Trump. Fucker went bankrupt six times and finally found the holy grail of scams: be the senile puppet boy of the rich corpos. I always thought W was a puppet, but he seems to have at least drawn a line at full blown tyranny. We need to convince these people to buy stupid shit again... beanie babies 2.0?

    Trump mobile?! wtf is that? This shit is ridiculous. Remember when you guys had Carter and he was in hot shit until he sold his fucking peanut farm or whatever? And now you guys have this. Not a serious country at all.

    Let's be clear about this: Carter was never "in hot shit" about his farm. Carter put his farm in a blind trust proactively because he respected the emoluments clause and interpreted it broadly.

    Such a grift but I will give it to them, charging $47.45 is pretty clever marketing.

    And it's more expensive than the most expensive US mobile plan, which would have faster speeds, whereas Trump Mobile's drops off after a certain (lower than T-Mobile's own plans) amount of GB data usage since they're solely using T-Mobile as an MVNO, and also has deprioritized data speeds during periods of network congestion.

    It would also get you the ability to switch underlying network providers if you're in a dead zone, international calling and data in more locations, better customer support given all the experiences we've seen from reviewers, and unlimited hotspot data, plus better bundle deals for families or people with smart watches that need separate data.

    Hell, even T-Mobile's own own plans, which are usually substantially more expensive than other companies they solely act as an MVNO for, like Mint Mobile, (which is actually owned by T-Mobile now) which will get you the same value as T-Mobile's $50/mo plan in a $30/mo plan that is just $15/mo for new users for up to a 12 month period.

    Trump Mobile is just $2.55 cheaper than T-Mobile's $50 plan.

    But the government is tracking everyone's phones through purchase of data from private enterprises.
