I have to keep asking myself every day: “Am I actually sleeping and having a nightmare that I will eventually wake up from?” When I look out the window at the flags my neighbors are flying I halfway expect to see a red flag with a hammer and sickle.
Something terribly wrong has happened to our country. Anti science, anti intellectualism, anti democracy, anti truth, fake patriotism, corruption-as-a-service (CAAS), anti experiece, the constitution shredded, congress retired-in-place and in sleep mode, judiciary pwned by political factions, the transcripts of daily White House briefings that have to be filed in the “Fiction” area of the library of congress, grift, anti accountability, etc.
Some scientists have floated the idea that life itself is actually a massive simulation. If it is I’d say that the simulation has encountered the results of some really shitty code behind the simulation and we’re currently running in a zombie state with the orange screen of death showing.
They really have missed a marketing opportunity here. It should come with Signal pre-installed and then once a month they pick five luck users and include them in a chat with cabinet members discussing classified information!
Obvious ethical issues aside, this is just weird. The website looks like a parody that was created on geocities circa 1998. It just needs an animated gif or two. And that phone will go great with a cybertruck. I’m guessing they had the same ketamine influenced design team.
Trump Mobile X account doesn't mention anything about hardware.
First post is "bring your own phone"
Maybe they gave up on that plan - it would look pretty bad to have a cheap Chinese made phone the "US made" flagship lol.
As for creating your own manufacturing pipeline, which Apple apparently can't do - Space X did it. Apple could if they had to, but they just don't want to; it's a lot of work, no doubt, and they'd leave profits on the table also... I am not saying it's easy. But if SpaceX can do it to make heat shield tiles then so can Apple, a $3Tn company.
Apple has enough money on hands to build 10 factories making everything going into the iPhone, except screens chips. Heck they have enough to build a chip factory too.
They just don't want to. It would cost them profits for years.

There has always been a rocketry supply chain and manufacturing base in the US, including for heat shields. The Department of Defense mandates US manufacture, so saying "If SpaceX can do it for rocketry, then Apple can do it for smartphones" is a very bad compare. One complete manufacturing chain existed in the US prior to the first launch, the other does not at all.
And of course Apple doesn't want to. Consumers don't want them to either, because of how much it will cost now, and in the future. What Apple can't do is change the education pipeline, or the willingness of Americans to work Federally mandated minimum wage or even lower like they allow in China and India.
Also, X posts notwithstanding, the Trump Mobile page hasn't changed one whit.

How the fuck are heat shield tiles the same as every component in an iPhone? I've seen some dumb comparisons before, but JFC.
I just don’t know if the world is ready for a urine-colored phone.
😂 😂 😂
In all fairness, virtually every new iPhone unveiling has had Tim Cook (or someone from apple) proudly announcing the latest color addition to the lineup followed by an expectant pause then some obligatory/dutiful applause. Although none of the iPhones are Trump-urine colored…
The guy is lying through his teeth... again. Well, no surprise there. He's not fit to run a boy scouts group, let alone a country.
Lying about what? Have you heard him speak about this at all?
I don't know if he has talked about this but acting like the guy doesn't have a completely strained relationship with the truth is completely disingenuous. His lies have been well documented. Anyone that is unaware of them either isn't paying attention or has the cognitive abilities of a rock. And not one of those smart rocks.

It's fascinating, if a bit sad, to watch you pivot right here in this thread from acknowledging that this is junk and 'not a good look' to trying really hard to pretend like Donald Trump has nothing to do with it.
Of course he has everything to do with it. If he didn't, shouldn't we expect him to have already stepped up to a podium and declared that in order to protect the integrity of the Office of the President, that he must publicly insist that his sons cease and desist in this crass effort to profit from his presidency? Shouldn't he be saying, as President, he holds the public trust as sacrosanct, and he won't tolerate this or any future efforts to sully the presidency with tacky profiteering schemes? Of course he hasn't said any of that, because this was presented to him and endorsed by him before they went public with it. If he wasn't, he would have been blind-sided and publicly angry about it.
Trump's silence on the matter is part of the problem, not the plausible deniability that you're trying to sell.
Perhaps someone already mentioned this, but the Liberty Mobile MVNO is really a reseller of Germany-Based Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile USA.
T-Mobile acquired Sprint during the last Trump Administration, and the merger resulted in fewer competitor's less customer choice, overall, higher priced plans, and the introduction of new “fees” that for some customers has added $15 per month per device/handset on the network.
The biggest controversy of course, is that to bankroll the merger, Germany’s main “Investment Bank”, KfW had to bankroll the merger. KfW is widely known as the bank that manages most of the pensions across Germany for union employees. So Americans pay a $50 phone bill that actually costs $15-20/month anywhere worldwide to provide service, and the remainder of the profit goes to Germany’s Retired Population and their pensions
I highly encourage all the super smart MAGA folks to buy this amazing piece of technology! I’m sure it’s super amazing, very secure, and will be a great purchase!

Holy F - people voted for this absolute insanity.
You know what - One of the MAGA persons in this forum is NOT ready to buy this amazing piece of technology.

You can probably use Signal
