Preorders Begin For Totally Real US-Made Trump Phone

CNET reports:

According to the venture’s website, a wireless plan is available for $47.45 a month with unlimited talk, text and data and no long-term contract. Those interested can use their own phone and number.

Trump Mobile is also offering for preorder a $499 phone called the T1 with a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen that runs the Android 15 operating system. The company says the T1 phone will be available in September. The service will run using the networks of the three major US wireless carriers, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, according to the Trump Organization.

The price of the service is a callout to Donald Trump’s two terms as president: 47 for his current presidency and 45 for his previous one, from 2017 to 2021.
