Warning Issued Over Donald Trump ‘Scam’ Golden Phone as Buyer Reveals What Happened When He Ordered One: ‘The website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount’

Promoted as a patriotic alternative to the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy, the T1 Phone is paired with a $47.45-per-month Trump Mobile service plan and is marketed as being “for Americans, by Americans.”

However, questions remain about how much of the device is actually made in the U.S., and concerns over the product’s launch are only growing.

Journalist Joseph Cox from 404 Media attempted to pre-order the T1 Phone shortly after its announcement, only to find himself navigating a glitch-filled process that raised doubts about the phone’s availability and the site’s reliability.

“I tried to pre-order the phone and pay the $100 downpayment,” Cox wrote in his opinion piece, “but the website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70.”

Despite being undercharged, Cox received a vague confirmation email from TrumpMobile.com stating he would receive an update when the phone shipped, despite never providing a shipping address or paying the full $499 price.

His attempts to access his Trump Mobile account or reset his password also ended in error messages, leaving him locked out entirely. “It is the worst experience I’ve ever faced buying a consumer electronic product,” he wrote, “and I have no idea whether or how I’ll receive the phone.”

Cox’s chaotic experience has sparked widespread criticism online. Many commenters expressed skepticism, with some lambasting the malfunction-ridden launch.

One Reddit user commented sarcastically: “What’s up? Got scammed by the president?” while another advised: “If you’re going to buy this, at least use a credit card for fraud protection.”

In addition to frustrations over functionality, serious concerns have emerged over the phone’s privacy and data security. Some critics fear that user data could be vulnerable or even subject to government surveillance.

Donald Trump Jr. has pushed back against those concerns, arguing that the phone’s “American-made” status reduces the risk of foreign spyware being embedded in the hardware. But that reassurance has done little to quell broader fears, especially among privacy-conscious consumers, Reuters details.

Whether or not the T1 Phone eventually lives up to its promises remains to be seen. For now, however, the buying experience is raising more questions than confidence, leaving many to wonder whether this device is truly ready for the market.
 
They can just ignore the parliamentarian. Or have her fall out a window. Or deport her to CECOT. They've still got lots of options.

True. And that is horrible. But that could be fixed eventually.

If they sell off all the public land it's gone for good.
 
Copied from a Facebook post:

“I must admit, there's a part of Trump that's kind of impressive.

He convinced the party of Reagan to advocate for tariffs and market intervention.

He convinced the party of law and order to celebrate the first convicted felon President, and the pardoning of violent insurrectionists.

He convinced the party of family values that it didn't matter if he cheated on his pregnant wife with a pornstar.

He convinced millions of women to vote for him even when they've heard him brag about sexually assaulting them.

He's convinced Epstein conspiracy theoriests to somehow accuse anybody but him, despite mounting circumstantial evidence of his complicity.

He's convinced evangelical Christians to vote in the least religious President in US history.

...and now he's convinced isolationists, who called Obama a "neocon" and cheered the "end of foreign wars", to now openly support yet another foreign war.

But he's not a salesman. A salesman actually gives you what he's selling. Trump is conman, someone who promises big but never comes through with the goods.

What has Trump promised that he's actually delivered?

Did he build the wall? And did Mexico pay for it? Did he lock her up? Did he enact a "Muslim Ban"? Did he repeal Obamacare? Did he eliminate national debt? Or add to it? Did he end the war in Ukraine or Gaza? Did he decrease the cost of groceries? Did he keep the US out of foreign wars?

Did he make America great again?

...or a global pariah?

I've done a lot of fraud investigations in my time, and there's almost always a devastating moment when someone realises with horror they've been conned. But there's also always a few that just don't want to believe it... no matter how much evidence you show them.

...and the conman usually just continues to con them, until they've fleeced them of everything that they've got.”

True. I don't think those people are going to be saved, regardless of the public land. A lot of people are going to die if this bill is passed in any form.

And scientific research can't restart by flipping a switch. Scientists are leaving the country. Universities devastated by cuts take decades to recover. Programs shut down and people with expertise go elsewhere. Communities devastated by disasters due to accelerated warming get no aid with FEMA gone. But Elon gets richer.

But research can be restarted. Scientists can come back. Decades isn't forever. Experienced people can come back from elsewhere.

I 100% agree. This bill should not pass. But if we lose our public lands they are gone forever. That is a loss to 350 million Americans today and all Americans moving forward which can't be recovered.

I'm not making light of anything else, but I care deeply about our public lands and I don't want to lose them. This cannot be allowed.

The whole bill should be rejected. I agree with that 100%. But our public lands is a step too far. I would be willing to fight a civil war to prevent them being sold to private entities.

And do you think the new owners of all that land are going to pay the inevitable firefighting bill? Nope, we will. We lose the land, but will still pay to protect it.
