Hey, MAGA board members. Does this outright theft help your understanding of the overall grift happening? Is there any possible way you can admit this is a scam?
You know, I wish that there still were numerous competitive and reliable electronics products, including cell phones, being manufactured in the USA by fairly paid legal workers. I am not particularly happy about the fact that so many of the things we rely on every day, even products initially invented and designed by American ingenuity, are almost exclusively manufactured in offshore factories by workers often having to subsist on near starvation wages.
However, given the numerous scams and bankruptcies in which Trump has been involved, I would be wary of trusting any product with which he had anything to do.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

The Trump brand is so bad, I wouldn't buy his crap even if I thought it might be good. He's a damned crook. Everyone knows that (even those who pretend he isn't).
Only a loser would buy Trump crap. You're signing up to be one of his many rubes buying anything that liar sells.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.
Trump has flown to China not for ‘talks’ but to pick up a case of cheap Chinese-made phones to reskin with gold plastic, stamp ‘Made in America’ on them and sell to MAGA suckers for only 2 to 3 times their normal cost.
No problem here: MAGA will happily let themselves be overcharged 3x by another Trump family grift in order to purchase a cheap Chinese phone with compromised security, if it helps them feel better about being angry over the existence of brown people and trans folks.

My emphasis. Frankly, if I was you I would be scared stiff. It is not just a matter of being sorry for the Americans who can no longer find the well-paid unionised blue-collar employment that was once the backbone of the American middle class. That is bad, but the utter dependence of the US on China for basic technological needs enables China to put a chokehold on your country whenever it feels like doing so. Just wait and see.
And who did this to America? It was very rich American people who wanted to make themselves even richer, even if that meant dumping millions of their fellow-citizens in the trash in order to boost their profits.
Or was it ... socialists??? I wonder what ajax thinks?

I share all those concerns. And certainly, it was the very rich like Trump and his insanely avaricious billionaire cronies and supporters who have done and are still maliciously doing this to everyone else, not democratic, progressive socialists. As I have said before, this avid and unrelenting obsession to acquire more and more of the very thing that has already demonstrably failed to satisfy them and make them content, at the expense of harming and further impoverishing millions of whom they obviously regard as their "less or least important" fellow citizens, is not just cruel, selfish and immoral, but a kind of mental illness and even insanity.

China already threatened to do this with rare earth minerals. Trump folded like a cheap suit.

With the writing of impending lawsuits on the wall, Trump and his kids sent out the Trump phones.
So what are they? They are re-shelled trash stock of a phone that hasn't been manufactured for about 18 months because it's obsolete. But surely it was at least made in America, right? Nope. Well... maybe re-shelled in America, at the very least? Also, nope. The only thing that was made in America was the grift itself.
But, what about "made with American values"? Well, the flag that's on the phone doesn't have the right number of stripes on it, so I guess not being able to count is pretty on-brand for Trump's America.
The ability of MAGA to never be embarrassed by their god-emperor is going to be an absolute treasure trove of research for the social sciences.
He's a damned crook. Everyone knows that (even those who pretend he isn't).
Are those who know he's a crook and pretend that he isn't any less crooked than Trump himself?
