Trump Mobile scrambles after MAGA revolt over phone claims

techMay 14, 202621378

Trump Mobile replaced its 'Made in America' slogan with 'designed with American values' after fact-checkers flagged that the phones appear to be manufactured in China. Roughly 600,000 customers WHO preordered have not received devices despite placing $100 deposits, and similar handsets listed online retail for about $126. Promotional images prominently featured Eric Trump, but the company has not produced verifiable proof of U.S. manufacturing or firm delivery dates. Because the brand pitched the phone as a patriotic product, the manufacturing discrepancy and ongoing nondelivery cast doubt on transparency and the phone's value to preorder customers.
