600,000 people sent in $100 deposits for this thing—!😧 (Dumbass is laughing all the way to the bank. )
I mean, I have a feeling that a lot of these pre-orders or $100 deposits were probably bulk purchased by CEOs as bribes.
Why do people really fall for this? And even worse: Who buys a Trump phone?
A fool and their money are soon parted.
Hahaha fuming. Doubt that, they will come back for more.
Probably just went and “pre-ordered “another one.
For nearly 600,000 Americans who trusted a brand built on the Trump name, the gold phone has become the latest entry in a long record of ventures that took their money and delivered nothing.
They wanted a Trump experience and they got one. Could argue they got what they paid for.
There’s also no evidence that they sold 600k phones. They couldn’t just made that number up.

You’re right. They didn’t sell 600k phones. They took money from 600k people, but there was no phone sold.
Fr, I’d be shocked if they sold 600
lol
And people are now getting emails saying that their phone will never arrive, with no mention of them getting their deposits back.
Anyone have the text of the actual email?
I can’t believe they got screwed by Biden AGAIN!
Thanks, Obama !
I know that you meant this as 100% sarcasm, but this is going to be the real answer.
It’s going to be Biden, possibly Clinton, Samsung, and possibly whoever else has slighted or failed to bribe him who are at fault. And these dumb, hateful mother fuckers are going to accept it and keep worshiping Trump.
What I really love about this scam is that it was NOT going to just be a 3rd party phone with Trump branding. They were going to actually make a new, 100% American designed and made phone by the Trump brand. And this was going to happen for a mere $500.
At that pricepoint for a startup they wouldn’t be paying anyone anything. That is a pipedream of a kickstarter pricepoint for a phone. Them blaming Samsung for this would be laughable
Surprised they didn’t throw in a soulja boy game console too!
Dammit Obama.
Fucking Madani, I swear!
Can’t feel bad for people who got conned by a con man and now are suckers and losers for getting scammed.
You mean to tell me the con man scammed them out of their money? Shocking. /s
Seriously it would be more surprising if they did come out.
Next month, they’ll drop a few hundred more on the next grift.
Some days I wish I could just put my morals/ethics aside. One good grift and I could be rolling in MAGA money till the day I die.
It’s unfortunate I’m unwilling to compromise myself and forgo peaceful sleep for the rest of my life.
Right!? I’ve had that same thought for decades. I COULD do the Republican Grift thing and get donations or take prepayment for some random item, but stupid me went and grew a brain and empathy and now I don’t want to harm people or take advantage of them for selfish gains. Yay for that I guess.
I don’t have those problems, I just never seem to be the first to come up with the idea. Like the guy who did the ‘build the wall’ scam. Gotta respect that.
You don’t really need to be first every time! You can just copy someone that is having some success and share some of that moron money with them.
They are the same people supporting discrimination, bans on abortion and the kidnapping of migrants in the usa. I would argue it’s not immoral to scam them, but I could be wrong
