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.

A fool and their money are soon parted.

I can't believe they got screwed by Biden AGAIN!

this is important to understand: they weren't buying the phone. they were owning the libs. For every magat who's furious, there's four to six hogs who'll feel good because all they care is that you don't want that money go to him.

They never learn, do they? The grift that just keeps on giving.

Honestly, at this point I think MAGA are just fin-subs and like it that way. Keep sending Daddy Don your social security checks you little fin-cucks.

I would grant them a modicum of grace if they hadn't had 40 fucking years to see what he was about. But they had it. And they chose this.

If you willingly gave money to a two-bit con-artist who is widely known for robbing or defrauding nearly everyone he has ever done business with, then you got what you had coming.

Can't feel bad for people who got conned by a con man and now are suckers and losers for getting scammed.

I mean, I have a feeling that a lot of these pre-orders or $100 deposits were probably bulk purchased by CEOs as bribes.

The clearest signal yet that buyers may never see either a phone or their money came with a revised terms of service published on 6 April 2026. The updated document states explicitly that paying a deposit 'does not constitute a completed purchase and does not create a binding legal contract.' The payment is described as 'a conditional opportunity to buy the device if Trump Mobile eventually chooses to sell it,' with the company retaining all control over whether a phone is produced at all.

Normally I feel sorry for people who get scammed but in this case shitty people getting scammed by the scammer they inflicted on the rest of us don't get my sympathy.

LMAO. I LOVE IT. Such an American thing for a president to scam his own voters. Literally scam them out of money.

They will moan a bit and then say "I would vote for him again" 🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha fuming. Doubt that, they will come back for more.

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.

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?

When your president they just let you do it.

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.

Why would Obama do this? 😭

Next month, they'll drop a few hundred more on the next grift.

Dude, even Ea Nasir delivered something to his customers.

In a logical world, this would result in 600k less electors for the orange buffon, wouldn't it?

Sounds like a perfect time to introduce the all new Trump Phone 2.

If only I wasnt so lazy, and had all these pesky morals.

Why do people really fall for this? And even worse: Who buys a Trump phone?

The fact that Trump or any of his family will never see the inside of a cell is the single largest thing that destroyed my faith in humanity.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that the preorder page is still up and ~~taking~~ stealing magat's money.

As I pointed out a year ago, this phone never existed.

They just waited until it was too late to do credit card chargebacks before pulling the rug. I've seen it on Kickstarter dozens of times.

Anyone else find it hard to believe that there were 600,00 orders for this. That feels like another money laundering situation.

Edit: 600K

Probably just went and “pre-ordered “another one.

What do you mean it was all a scam? Trump is a god fearing Christian! Surely it is the fault of the next non-republican president from the future!
