Nine months after its first announced release, still no Trump phone

PHUCKING LMAO



President Trump's sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump announced the Trump Mobile flagship T1 phone (1), retailing at $499, on June 16, 2025 — to coincide with the 10th anniversary of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign launch — as an alternative to Apple and Samsung. Since then, an estimated 590,000 buyers paid a collective $59 million in deposits to secure one of the phones.
Not a single confirmed customer has received the phone, which was initially promised for late summer 2025 but later pushed back to November, then December and then mid-March this year. By April, Trump Mobile redesigned its website, removing the release date altogether.


NBC News (3), which placed a $100 deposit in August 2025 to track the story, reportedly called Trump Mobile's support line five times between September and November 2025 because the company "provided no proactive updates after the order."In October, a representative told the outlet that the phone would ship on November 13. When it didn't arrive, the outlet called again and was told it would ship in December. Another representative assured the outlet that the T1 would ship "sometime in Q1 2026," blaming the delay on the federal government shutdown, which shouldn't have impacted private-sector companies.
Journalist Joseph Cox, investigating the phone saga for 404 Media (4), also placed a deposit — or, at least, tried. But Trump Mobile reportedly charged Cox's card the wrong amount and never collected his shipping address. The company did, however, send a confirmation email that promised delivery notifications, which didn't come either. He called it "the worst experience [he has] ever faced buying a consumer electronic product.

Much worse, this grift was done by the Presidents sons. They should be held to MUCH higher standards, than some illegal Somalis

Hunter Biden got all kinds of hate for using the White House in his grifting schemes, but for some reason, we let the Trump family get a pass?

I might be wrong, but if I remember, the $100 payment was for the opportunity to get first dibs when the phones came out, not an actual deposit on the purchase of the phone.

Pretty much- i did 6 at first- got 3 of my deposits refunded, but kinda regret not just keeping them.

When you look at the first few months resale value of these trump things- its insane how high they go.

Remember those shoes getting from 4k-20k a month after the 1k purchase

Or the 1st run "trading card" nft's that people got for $99 and was able to sell from $1100 - 42k in the first few months?


Not getting a first run Trump item like this is an IQ test fail from an investment standpoint.

Also- new tech deposits - 9 months is nothing

Heck - cyber Truck took deposits in 2019 and didn't get out until 2023

Virgin galactic took 100k space flight deposits in 2004 that still is pending

2 plus years for Lockitron smart locks


This is worth the wait

You gotta have a pretty bad case of TDS not to take advantage of first run opportunities like this.

This reminds me of SWA’s new seating policy. You can pay extra for the opportunity to choose a premium seat, but they are under no obligation to let you sit in the seat you choose.

Fair. I think this is a grift we can all get behind though.

Phucking LMAO. 11 colonies. 🤣


After a nine-month delay, the Trump Mobile “T1” smartphone was sent out this week to pre-order customers and some members of the media. There was just a slight problem.The gold-plated $499 phone is no longer marketed as “Made in the USA,” and the American flag design on the back of the handset appears to have 11 stripes instead of 13.The Android-operated device was first promoted as “Made in the USA” in June 2025, CNN and NBC News noted. But Trump Mobile has since changed the language on its website to “designed with American values in mind.”

The flag as intended for the word "Trump mobile" to be the 13th stripe, and the 12th is the space in tween
