An estimated 590,000 buyers paid a £74 ($100) deposit to secure one, collectively handing the venture roughly £43.7 million ($59 million). As of May 2026, not a single confirmed customer has received the device. Now, a fresh wave of anger is spreading across MAGA forums after buyers received communication making clear that their money is, for all practical purposes, gone.
The fact that there was never a phone, never going to be a phone or plan, and they still took deposits and then said “yeah, you’re not getting those back” would land any other person in front of a judge and promptly into a prison cell.
If you or I ran this scam you know that would be the outcome. This is just another clear example that if you’re a person of power and wealth the laws simply don’t apply to you. This isn’t a United States issue, this is a clear example of a world wide issue that we as regular people should be rioting over. I don’t care what country you’re in you HAVE people in your countries that do this shit daily. We should be placing heads on pikes.
Shows everything you need to know about MAGA, when the bastard hawks altered, cheap, self-glorifying Bibles the “religious right” is maybe mildly grumbly.
Grift them with a smartphone though and NOW THEY’RE SUDDENLY PRETTY ANGRY.
Their idolatry is obvious. One cannot serve both God and the stupidest political faction the U.S has ever seen since the confederacy.
How could this be. They promised all the reliability and dependebility one comes to expect from the trump admini…oooohhhh. yeah that tracks. did the communication go out on a tuesday?
I love stupid people
I love the uneducated
🤡
poorly educated*
But still education is not always a key too succes
It is, however, a gateway to success
Contacts and lots of contacts ,is key too succes . They can make you or break you
If you’re dumb as fuck, contacts will only help you so much.
Who could have seen this coming?? Oh wait, anyone with a brain.
This has always been about money laundering; some fools got involved along with it though.
Up next: “Attorneys” that reach out to these people saying that in order to form a class action, they need to pay a retainer of $1000. For each person they bring into the class, they get a higher percentage of any “winnings”.
But as a consolation, you can be first in line to place a $250 deposit on Trump 2 Phone (full price just $750)!
You probably aren’t even kidding.
I take it
Does anyone have the actual email? I want to see the bullshit language used to let these rubes down.
Vote down the drain. Money down the drain. America down the drain.
Nothing will change.
What do you mean? It is changing rapidly

Leopards ate my phone!
No no not the phone ,take my face
What a surprise - the phone that was a photoshopped Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in a Spigen case isn’t real.
There is absolutely no way a phone that’s made in the USA could be sold for only $499.
The Trump phone plan is a grift too. $47.45/month and you only get 20GB high speed data, when you can get 70GB (or actual unlimited, depending on network) from US Mobile for less than half the price.
$47.45/month
Wait was it pitched at “47.45” because…of his presidential terms?! THAT’S SO STUPID!
Lol it also illustrates the mentality so well, that the numbers are out of sequence but this would hypothetically squeeze people for 2 more bucks, so of course that’s what they’re gonna do.
As a Canadian I’m very jealous of your mobile plan prices.
Canadian here - I pay less than $30 taxes in for a grandfathered plan that started with 2GB of data and they kept giving me retention bonuses in the last few years. So now I have about 25GB of data.

TBF - no wait, fairness is wrong here -
playing devil’s advocate, they did dial back on that claim somewhat, it was known that this will be some off-brand device, most likely made in China.They originally said it was going to be 100% American made for that price, and only toned it down later on. Now they just say “Designed with American values in mind”, whatever that means.
“Designed with American values in mind”
“Everyone involved in the design and supply chain was promised they’d be paid in exposure after the work was completed.”
It means “we’ll make sure to use exploitive underpaid overseas labor in its production and make this product at the lowest price possible” because what could be more American than that?
Turbo capitalism?
Those gigabytes were going to be gold-plated and oxygen-free, to be fair
MAGA is the pinnacle of stupidity.
This is all obviously Biden’s fault somehow though, right?
