Does this mean the end for iPhone empires?.
There is absolutely no way that phone is 100% American made – there is no a source in the US for most of the components. The website is so cheap looking and the stock photos look like the people he does not like.
the grift continues, unprecedented in American history…
Trump told Aunt Timmy to make iPhones in America. Timmy too R3TARD3D to figure it out. Timmy too f@ggy to compete with real men. Now, Timmy loses tens of millions of PATRIOTS to “Made in America” TRUMP PHONE. Doesn’t matter if it’s really made in U.S., as long as Trump says it is.
Was this Elon Musk’s ideas to begin with?.
No way in hell I would carry that..
whatever: just put a cover on it and no one can tell it’s a gold phone. There, problem solved; ——”GET SOME!”
There is no way this is American made. We don’t manufacture the parts in this country anymore. Assembled? Possibly.
Operating System
Android 15
’nuff said.
how is it POSSIBLE to do a US manufactured phone for $500 when none of the big mobile firms can? With T tariffs iPhone is $3k-$3.5k, how can T with no contract manufacturing/supply resources do this? if at all possible, it’s made abroad & he is lying. WHO manufactures it for him?!
how is it legal for a US president to benefit from a capitalistic firm or for his family to take ADVANTAGE of presidency?
what is “T1”? What’s the golden material? IF it akees Apple 3-5 years to open a mobile plant, how is T doing it, did he plan this since last election? Did T screw Tesla Mobile or steal Elon’s plans or are both T & E liars?
What OS?! Droid? TrumptyGrumpyHumptyDumptyOS?
so Mr T screws Tim Cook/Apple, though Apple is #7 biggest tax payer in USA, why, so he can be the first & only US manufacturer for mobiles?! ABUSING the market.
NEPOTISM. Machiavellianism. Mafiosi. Tyrannt. Cry-Bay capitalist. Economic Rapist.
All American “Ingenuity” / “Greatness” / “Exceptionalism” in reverse, on the wrong side of History. All HOT AIR. Fake News. Bitcoin Ai Mobile ; )
Trump is completely ignoring any conflicts of interest issues, acting like they don’t exist.
President Trump transferred control of his business interests to a revocable trust managed by his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, during his presidency. There is no conflict of interest.
Cook was told to stop bilking America with cheap Chinese and Indian iPhones. He failed to heed the President’s advice.
Now WOKE APPLE, with its queer rainbow stage, its GAY PRIDE CEO, and its WOKE Apple TV+ (check out the “Zero” character on “Stick” – it’s horrific) loses TENS OF MILLIONS of REAL AMERICANS.
Just PRE-ORDERED 6 TRUMP PHONES for me and my family.
Will you send them back when you discover that your new android devices were actually made in Chyyynaaaaa? Did you bother to read the disclaimers on the website that pricing and service are not guaranteed but your deposits are non refundable?
What kind of person buys stuff like this sight unseen, and without any independent testing reports? You, sir, are an easy mark.
Eric came out and said it would EVENTUALLY be built in the US. So the 6 you just preordered aren’t American made
So transferring assets to your family, which is also heavily involved in government policy, not to mention, still “family” avoids a conflict of interest?
And it’s wrong for Apple to bilk USA with cheap Chinese and Indian iPhones, but not Trump & Co?
Let us all know how your six new gold painted android shitfones MADE IN CHINA work out for you.
Some people would rather allow themselves to be fed OBVIOUS lies than to live in the real world.
And $47.45 monthly?
Yikes.
Also, someone already figured out that the T1 is almost certainly the T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G, made by Wingtech, owned by the Chinese-owned manufacturer Luxshare. The T-Mobile version is believed to be built in Kiaxing, Wuxi, or Kunming, in China.
Please raise your hand if you always wanted a Wingtech phone.
Please raise your hand if you want ANY Chinese device involved where personal security/privacy is critical. Substitute “Android” for China…ditto.
I was pleased when in his 1st term, Trump gave Huawei the ki-bosh for broad infrastructure install. Now this!
This is wrong on so many levels… i fear for USA….
Great naming policy T1.. is that for Turd 1
CALL NOW! Operatives are standing by.
“Android” stops me cold. Pricing could cause competitive adjustments, though. Pricing challenges have been brewing.
The Trump Boys are pushing the limits of improper involvements. Gold, coins and now a phone. Arghh.
Call now…for phone plan details and locations for help with The Syndrome. Personal info is secure.
“The Trump Boys are pushing the limits of improper involvements. Gold, coins and now a phone. Arghh.”
At least with The Trump Boys, you get something tangible. Hunter Biden, what? An overpriced water color painting?
Nah! Rather the Biden boy pushing sex with family (affair with dead brother’s wife), hookers, crack cocaine and making millions of dollars doing nothing for Burisma thanks to daddy’s political Ukraine involvement.
Only in your mind do 2 wrongs make a right.
You could care less the crap that went on with any siblings of any political family until Trump came along.
And that goes for the rest of you!
“yur”?
Actually there are millions of independents who see the lies from both parties. You are apparently willing to be conned by the tough talking BS from the GOP.
The supposed smartest guy in the room left the administration airing what a farce the current administration is. The Leonard Leo handpicked supreme court has multiple obvious examples of blatant corruption/ payoffs. The GOP congress hasn’t offered a balanced budget nor immigration reform bill in many DECADES. They are too busy trying to explain the misinformation their orange and Greene leaders barf out every news cycle. Even Fücker Carlson calls out Senator Cruz for his ignorance. But you think chaos is evidence of a sound strategy based on facts … from a 6 time bankrupt, 34 time felon, regular Epstein customer, former democrat who has no values whatsoever of the Reagan era GOP … who has spent decades lying to everyone. Yeah, you really need to get off the koolaid man.
I get it… Everything in Biden‘s wake was a disaster and often illegal. That doesn’t justify what’s happening with the “investments/ventures” materializing on the Boy-Trump Team. It’s disgusting and a tarnishes an otherwise very good presidency.
On other websites, significant developments from Apple’s developer conference are being reported:
https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/06/apple-previews-new-import-export-feature-to-make-passkeys-more-interoperable/
But here, hawking golden vaporware marketed by an organization with exactly zero experience in telecom, and with all hardware and services outsourced to dubious vendors (android hardware currently made only in China) is par for the course. Pun intended.
Apple sold approximately 73 million iPhones in the United States in 2024.
Also in 2024, 77.3 million people voted for President Trump in the U.S. presidential election.
Some number of those voters will buy this “Trump Phone” instead of iPhone and switch to Trump Mobile. If the number is significant, Apple will be impacted.
I would love to see Apple take a hit on this. That idiot Cook has done nothing in years, and though I am not in the market for an Adroid phone I hope Trump wakes Cooks ass up.
MAGA … Make Android Great Again. LOL!
This device has zero chance of gaining any being anything more than a 1/100th percentage rounding error for Apple. It’s not competing against Apple, it’s competing against 10,000 other Android wannabes.
Literally a polished golden android turd.
And my take has nothing to do with Trump. Android clones come and go, and the universe barely registers a whimper. Even Google’s own “pure” Android phone, the Pixel is still a minor player worldwide.
Apple was an organization with zero experience in telecom when it introduced the iphone and had it build with outsourced dubious vendors manufactured in Chyyynna and that was just fine with all of you.
The hypocrisy stench of the Lefties here is overwhelming!
Look at the phone specs on the site: It has 50000mAh long life CAMERA (LOL) That’s a nice camera…..

When Carter became president he had to sell his peanut farm. Not hand it to his son to manage.
Just sayin’.
They have said it is not being made in the USA. Don Jr said as much on News Nation. When they asked him when, he said sometime soon.
You’re better than this MDN
And also say, the iPhone will be made in America sometime soon?
actually no, they are not better than this. how much more proof do we need to see how far gone it is
Expect to make some PERFECT CALLS to high level people
something similar happened in Venezuela when back in 2009 the populist president Chavez introduced his ZTE 366 „Vergatario“ Phone. USA open your eyes…
It’s hilarious to see the anti Trump freaks crumble about this legal venture, but defended Joe and Hunter’s blatant illegal deals. Truly TDS.
I’ve never really seen anyone defend Biden. They may say that the GOP must not have had a slam dunk case because it never prosecuted one . . . but Biden wasn’t some beloved figure. He was a compromise and one that clearly didn’t work out very well and didn’t deserve to. As for Trump, and this weird exaltation of a human that is forgiven for any flaw in the name of promises, I don’t get it. We are tech people, that’s why we’re here on this site. And this is the clearest example of a family/organization/business/etc. feasting on the vulnerable who will buy this thing out of sheer loyalty rather than what it actually is — a China-made, repackaged POS that uses a stolen operating system. TDS cuts both ways, my friend. If this venture is still alive in five years, I highly doubt that it’ll be offering anything but deflections for why it still isn’t manufacturing in the USA.
Well, my friend. If you really haven’t seen anyone defend Biden, then I guess I will be the one to tell you that you have your head buried in th sand. It really doesn’t take much effort to research both, Biden, Hunter, Pelosi, Feinstein, as well as corrupt Republicans like McConel, and his circle.
And researching what the MAGA movement really is. Put your hatred for one man away for 15 minutes and look up his past, pre politics, and current accomplishments and good deeds. If you do this and still don’t see why the people love this guy, then we kindly go our separate ways.
This site has felt more and more like TrumpDailyNews.com over the years. Just made it official with that “take” MDN.
Pure grift of older, uninformed Americans.
MidwestMac,
I’ve been posting on this site since about 2005 under various names and I can tell you that nothing has changed in fact it’s gotten worse.
Before Trump it was Bush jnr. and the bias was there apparent then so there’s four ways to handle it:
1 Just ignore the partisanship of the site
2 Slug it out with your opponents
3 Be a calm voice of reason in a specialised field (mine is economics) or
4 Leave the site and read about Mac stuff at another website.
Now in the early days of the MDN there was a dude or “dudette” named Sputnik who used to absolutely take the mickey out of one eyed Mac users by allegedly being a Windows supporter, and posters used to absolutely rip into that person. Now those were great times indeed.
My moniker (Telstar) is in homage to the greatest poster this site has actually seen. Alas, nowadays mostly American posters are so biased (and some are so disgusting) the site is incapable of allowing such subtlety and I partially blame MDN for that but equally the blame MDN being a mirror of the state of political in the United States.
So take a chill pill and just ignore these people as it’s just not worth it.
Since before 2005 and can recall many a biased posts but those posts were okay because they were of Left leaning tilt. It was only when those posts got blow back for their lack of voice of reason and that is when the Lefties started losing it here on MDN.
Love how the Fatigue of Liberal antics and thought that resulted in other viewpoints being espoused on MDN is somehow the fault of biased partisanship. Is it because they don’t fall in line with your beliefs. And yet one side throws around the words fascist, nazi, and just pushed a Randi Weingarten “No Kings” nationwide protest funded by the usual suspects. Puhleaze! You sound like those whiny college brats having a conniption fit when someone shows up with a differing point of view and they scream “Get of MY campus” or “Who’s street? MY Street!”
If anyone needs to take a chill pill…
There’s always room for liberal and conservative viewpoints. I just can’t fathom (and I used to come here and post a lot 10-15 years ago) that MDN would SUPPORT in any way an Android phone with a coat of paint knowing full well that it isn’t manufactured here. It’s totally unbelievable. I was here when Microsoft was the undisputed champion and darling of tech and pre-iPhone days and this “take” never would’ve happened. If ya like Trump, fine. But this particular venture is pretty gross, let’s be consistent.
I’ve been reading and posting…
Exactly what I’ve been saying, you need one of those chill pills.
Anyway I’m going to bed…I’m posting from Australia a country where we’re not divided and and we’re more civil towards each others. I always place good manners and civility over invective and I don’t care what the politics are and that goes for the left, centre or the right.
Good night all!
Are you forgetting Zunetang?
Synth,
I haven’t heard that name in decades. Glad to see someone else is from the old days. Wow!
And they already scrubbed the claims of “made in America” from the website.
