    It’s a Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G

    Chinese company + Chinese manufacturing.

      He’s not a crook. And you will realize that as soon as his tax audit is over so he can release his taxes.

    Steve Hou of Bloomberg LP, found the same phone on Amazon. Trump is selling his phone for $499, but it can be purchased on Amazon for $169. It can also be purchased in gold

    Everything is a fucking grift

      Which means you can buy the $169 phone spray paint it with gold paint and sell it to a MAGA fan for $1,000 when the demand goes up.

        Fuck the spray paint you just need to write “trump” on the back with a crayon and they’ll throw money at you.

          Just RUMP is good enough. Save 20% of production costs.

    After all immigrants have been forced out, all social safety nets removed, and child labour laws repealed; after the resulting widespread poverty and famine. When Americans have no choice but to work in sweatshops for a dollar a day, then US manufacturing will finally be competitive enough for trump merch to be made in the US.

      Oh no! The best antidote is remembering he’s demented and close to death!

      And that he probably cried over the low parade turn out. I had to change my underwear after that joyful thought.
