Where are the Trump phones? 590,000 Americans paid $100 dollar down payment to get 'The greatest phone in the history of phones'. $59,000,000...and nobody has phone. The Trump family has $59,000,000 and there hasn't been a single phone delivered to anyone. A GOLD 'Made in America' phone...THE BEST PHONE EVER!!!!! People are asking 'Where's my phone?' Hmmmmmmm, hey MAGA, do you guys have any idea what's going on?? Surely the Trumps aren't scamming us...if anyone can find out what's up let us know.

It's hard to find something 100% made in the US, especially electronics, since a lot of electronic components are made in China.

"Deposit Purpose

"A preorder deposit provides only a conditional opportunity if Trump Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the Device for sale. A deposit is not a purchase, does not constitute acceptance of an order, does not
create a contract for sale, does not transfer ownership or title interest,
does not allocate or reserve specific inventory, and does not guarantee that
a Device will be produced or made available for purchase.

"A binding sales contract is formed only if all of the following occur: (1) Trump Mobile makes the Device available for sale; (2) you complete checkout; (3) you submit full payment; and (4) Trump Mobile accepts and successfully processes payment. Until those conditions are satisfied, no enforceable agreement for purchase exists. No Price Lock or Promotion Guarantee

"The deposit does not lock in pricing, promotions, service plans, taxes,
fees, shipping costs, or other commercial terms. Final pricing and offers
will be disclosed at the time of purchase..

It wouldn't be a big shock, or big deal, had they not made such a big deal of claiming it would be "Made in the USA!"

If they'd not made a big deal about it, no one would have ever expected it to be made here. It would be, as you say, like everything else.

I was going by what was said in the article. Didn't check the website. I have now seen other articles and news stories about how it is "coming," and that it appears to be based on a phone (made in China) that is already available in the USA via T-mobile for considerably less than this gold-painted version.

Most people know that. The problem comes when you claim something is made here that is not.

IIRC, Wal-Mart got in hot water for that a few years ago, so catching flack for doing it is also now new.

that is what happens when democrats shipped out everything in the 90s to other countries.

Cannot argue against this. The Clinton's had a plan to offshore a lot of "dirty" manufacturing. Most people think that was NAFTA but it was actually after their trip to China and SE Asia that the plan really kicked off. The other half of the plan was to set up social programs for the "losers" who lost their jobs. That half never really got done.

A plan that creates a class of "losers" should have been their hint that it wasn't a good plan.

Where I work, most of our components are made in Utah, However one component is made in Mexico, I work at the assembley plant as a trainer where we put the parts together for shipment to all the auto companies.

it's not really IMPORTANT; people just like to hang onto shit trump says.
like when he made a typo people were making mugs and tv shirts.

He could have been told that it was made in america. It could be a deal fell through. and like i said, things can be 'made in the usa' but be entirely comprised of foreign parts.

if our country was a better country that didn't sell itself out due to politicians, we could have phones built here. Sadly, china is a better country through hard work.

trainer where we put the parts together for shipment to all the auto companies.

if you look up china's industrial revolution you will see that they took over basically everything.

i know all this but i'll paste from the internets because i'm lazy:

Proto-industrialization (1978-1988): Moving away from centrally planned mandates, China encouraged rural enterprises and collective ownership in
small towns. This unleashed localized market competition, boosted peasant incomes, and provided millions of jobs outside of traditional state-owned enterprises.


Light Mass Production (1988-1998): The country shifted its focus to labor-intensive mass production. By utilizing its vast labor force, China became the world's largest producer and exporter of textiles, toys, and furniture.


Heavy and Advanced Manufacturing (1998-Present): This phase shifted from manufacturing simple consumer goods to mastering the "means of mass production". This saw massive infrastructure scaling, steel production, and a transition into high-tech manufacturing, culminating in global dominance in sectors like electric vehicles (EVs) and green tech


those parts from utah probably have something from china in them.

It was probably assembeled in the USA, Alot of components are maufactured abroad, then assembled in the USA.

Nope, we actually manufacture everything at various plants in Utah except for the component that we manufacture in Mexico, due to material costs.
We own the plant in Mexico.
I agree most companies source out manufacturing to cheap labor countries.

it's not the cheap labor. these countries are good at what they do.
there's little competition in some cases.

china is the biggest producer of steel and other metals and minerals.
and several other things.

look up their industrial revolution. it's pretty remarkable.
