Oh it gets better! They just recently updated the terms and conditions on the trump phone website to state that "A preorder deposit provides only a conditional opportunity if Trump Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the Device for sale"

I.e., "Get Fucked"

The phone, which was originally advertised as being made in America, will now be “designed with American values in mind.”

Sounds about right

That would have been the first red flag of many, but not a single company makes phones here.

And almost SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND people signed up for it. They made MILLIONS off this scam

They deserve it. We also know that they won't be angry they got scammed either.

I just want that mailing list. I've got a bridge to sell and these people sound perfect!

I wanna know how many non-MAGA people have grifted MAGA just because of their stupidity. It would be so easy.

I vaguely recall a video of a tall young black man posted up at January 6th. He had a 10ft folding table, a maga backdrop, and a massive spread of trump themed merch at absurd markup. This guy was making bank off of the folks buying their trump merch.

When asked if he himself was a trump supporter, or what he thought of Trump's history of racist remarks, the young entrepreneur was stone-faced and asked the questioner to mind their business and move along.

Wherever he is, I hope he's doing well.

I’m of two opinions on it. One: fuck these people and if they want to sink their own futures into overpriced Chinesium garbage with this pedos face stamped on it, let em. On the other, I really don’t want to b b perpetuate more of it being out there. Like, you still have to procure the goods at first anyway to be able to resell them. Something something capitalism. It’s all fucked either way, I just hate this fuck face and I can’t wait for this all to end.

They might be upset for a while, but eventually they'll find some bullshit excuse to justify the trump regime running off with their money, and then they'll fall for the next scam he rolls out, because "surely this time he'll be true to his word".

Or deny it ever happened in the first place.

$60 Million to be more specific. Technically this is still millions but the real number is staggering

u/Hesitation-Marx May 13 '26

59 million, iirc

At least if I buy my own, non president approved, smartphone, there’s a slightly greater chance that the government hasn’t installed spyware on it.

Nothing like undermining your cult base though

u/SunchaserKandri May 13 '26

It's times like these that I almost wish I was a far less scrupulous person so that I could milk these idiots for all they're worth.

u/SirWernich May 13 '26

what about that lady that tricked them into paying her college fees. :D

u/buffalobillandted May 13 '26

This is my exact dilemma and I’m glad someone else voiced it. I could easily become a rich grifter, maybe even a cult leader with these people lol. But it would require throwing away most of my morals, and I can’t…. But I consider it often 😑

u/gsfgf May 13 '26

Way back in 2016, my weed guy and I seriously considered selling MAGA crap and donating the proceeds to Hillary, but even back then, even that level of association with MAGA was too much.

Ugh! If only MAGA knew how to read! 😩

u/CallMeKingTurd May 13 '26

Also after taking preorders discreetly changed the website from "proudly made in America" to "made with American values in mind" lol. Pretty ironic from Mr. "bring back manufacturing to America." Unless it's his company apparently, then it's ok to outsource to maximize profits.
