while promoting the commercialization of his gold top of the line T1 mobile phone by Trump, he also claimed the phone would be built/bade 100% in the US, guess what, to many of us we knew it was a lie, and it's another big lie. The phone looks a lot like a HTC phone made in Taiwan & China and it appears the parts are made and imported from overseas and to cover up the lie if may be assembled in the US, again and we all know how Trump functions, I don't think it's a big surprise

iFixit did it's thing and revealed the Trump Mobile T1 is an HTC U24 Pro — with a few minor tweaks.

Htc Manufacturing Locations

HTC, a renowned player in the smartphone market, has its manufacturing operations spread across various countries. The company initially started its manufacturing in Taiwan and China but has since expanded to include locations such as India and Vietnam.

Here's how it is presented to suckers! 🤣

Interestingly enough, the end price is not indicated on the website! A $100 pre-order charge is required in order to join the waiting list, but the end price is unknown! 🤣

Meet the T1

Premium Performance. Proudly American

The T1 isn't just another smartphone; it's a bold step toward wireless independence. Designed with American values in mind, the T1 delivers top-tier performance, sleek design, and powerful features, all without the inflated price tag

That the trump phone is not made in the US is one of the least surprising news to come out during the last decade.....

China makes everything ! and even if there was the will it would take decades for US/UK/EU to regain the lost industrial base and retrain the skilled workers required..there is also the small matter of cheap reliable energy the antipathy of 'Net zero' and the 'rare earths'

Can any MAGA tell me what "Designed with American values in mind" actually means?

I think we are missing the point when it comes to Trump, I, for once, didn't realize how special the guy is, one of his cronies just posted a very interesting description of the (NO) genius, it appears, at birth, Trump was considered a special baby, I almost choke reading it but then it hit me, sure he must have been special but their never defined how or what special he was because as he grow up there is nothing special about the moron or maybe there is after all, he's so special at loosing, ranting, making threats, lying, abusing innocent young girls and so much more, that's how special he is.... enjoy have a laugh

Surely our founders could never have imagined this level of terminal stupidity in Congress, nor a populace that would vote for it. https://t.co/g1oRauLcgw

“Donald Trump is the best thing to happen in this country in a hundred years,” Nehls declared. “He was born a very special baby. I bet you the doctors said, ‘I can tell this is a very special baby.’”

Ah yes! And I was thinking it comes with a faulty GPS as standard for those handy excuses: "We didn't know it was a girl's school, it said it was a military base".

Further review:

https://www.ifixit.com/News/117789/teardown-confirms-the-trump-phone-is-a-gold-painted-htc-u24-pro

The claim is that the phone is being assembled from around 10 components by a team in Florida. This battery could be one of those components, along with the camera modules, speakers, the USB-C module, the haptic engine, and the mainboard. If that is indeed what’s happening, I’d wager that the chassis and display are imported as a pre-assembled unit owing to the difficulty of installing curved glass displays.

And say what you will about the T1, but let’s give credit where it’s due. Trump Mobile aren’t gouging their fanbase…not yet anyway. Against all expectations, the T1 is actually well priced when compared to the equivalently specced 512GB U24 Pro, and the only things you give up are the 60W fast charging and your dignity.

trump lied, crikey, who'd have thunk it...

Trump Mobile T1 is an HTC U24 Pro

How do you say the fat orange slob is a JENIUS in Taiwanese?

Some say your pictorial chicken scratching destroyed the memory of just remembering sh@r and talking about it instead of reading inaccurate, generalized written descriptions, pictographs, phonetic words or symbols that represent conceptual things. 😄

Obama did not sell, create, or launch a program for "Obama phones."

The term "Obama phone" is a nickname that originated from a political myth. Here are the facts regarding the program:

• The Program:The Program: The actual program is called Lifeline, and it was established in 1985 during the Reagan administration to provide low-income households with discounts on telephone service.Lifeline1985 during the Reagan administration

• Expansion to Wireless:Expansion to Wireless: The ability to use Lifeline discounts for wireless service was added in 2005, and the option to choose between landline or wireless service was introduced in 2008—both of which occurred during the George W. Bush administration.George W. Bush administration

• Funding: The program is not funded by taxpayers or the federal government. It is funded through the Universal Service Fund, which is supported by fees paid by telecommunications companies (these costs are sometimes passed on to consumers as a small line item on their phone bills).

• Distribution:Distribution: The government does not distribute the phones. Eligible low-income individuals apply for the program through independent, private telecommunications companies. If approved, those companies provide the service or equipment.

The term "Obama phone" gained popularity due to viral emails and political rhetoric during the 2009–2012 period, which incorrectly associated the existing program with President Obama.
