So, you could say that the geriatric, obese, orange lardbucket isn’t very…
(Puts on sunglasses)…
Mobile.
YEAHHHHHHHhhhhh!its always a scam to launder money from russia, and other places.
Who could have seen this coming?
In a way it’s sad that people get scammed, on the other they had it coming. Same way with the poor people still voting for him
I’m not the only one seeing the SS rune in the space between the 4 and 7, am I? That had to be intentional.
This shit pisses me off.
If Biden/Obama/aoc were pulling this we’d hear about emoluments 24/7
But Trump does it and dems are like oh maybe we should just see what happens….
Then we have TrumpRX and Trump making millions off crypto
GDISM
I just can’t get over him selling beans in the oval office. it’s so absurd
Everything is a test to see if they can push things further. Hocking a vocal ass-sniffing donor’s wares in an absurd and awkward showcase to troll the left while showing he was in on the joke was all part of a grift and a test.
If you can do something so seemingly incompetent and bizarre, then you’ve cleared an opening to inject something more malignant next time.
So technically, in this specific instance, Trump Mobile isn’t run by Donald Trump. It’s instead a separate company run by Don Jr and Eric Trump. That company is then licensing the “Trump” name from The Trump Organization.
Now The Trump Organization is owned by Donald Trump, although officially run by Don Jr, Eric, etc.
But you’re absolutely right that all of this is bullshit. It’s also why Trump is so pissed at New York AG Letitia James for investigating and uncovering all sorts of shady business practices.
You’re absolutely right that Congress should be doing something about it.
If Congress did something about it might highlight or stifle their own unethical profiteering.
What’s next?
- Trumpla, the EV manufacturer?
- Trumpmart, selling nearly-rotten food at marked-up prices.
Trump Burderthis one already exists.- Trumple Inc, consumer phone dropshipper.
- Trumpazon, a marketplace where he takes a cut on all sales.
- Trump Sauna, a PC games storefront.
trump diapers he hasnt really capitalize on it yet. probably turmp glasses and sunglasses , fake gold edition with his signature.
At least Intel, and probably more, are already paying protection? I suppose it’s easier to collect protection than to organise a scam operation.
we already have the trump drone company, im sure theres more
He still don’t realize “Trump” is a badge of shame
Oh they spying the shit out of you lol
How can they? They haven’t even sent the spying device yet.
Yeah it’s a regular phone.
Trump mobile?! wtf is that? This shit is ridiculous. Remember when you guys had Carter and he was in hot shit until he sold his fucking peanut farm or whatever? And now you guys have this. Not a serious country at all.
Remember when you guys had Carter and he was in hot shit until he sold his fucking peanut farm or whatever?
Let’s be clear about this: Carter was never “in hot shit” about his farm. Carter put his farm in a blind trust proactively because he respected the emoluments clause and interpreted it broadly.
Yeah I’m not really that well versed in what happened. All I know is “something something Carter something something peanut farm.” Thank you for clarifying.
Another day, another grift for that family.
It’s like a reverse emoluments clause
Some Trump product a scam, really? Youdontsay.jpg
It’s a bit of a wank article to be honest - it doesn’t even go on to say if the SIM was delivered. Why not wait the extra day and publish the article after it was due to be delivered?
If it didn’t get delivered then it’s easy meat for Trump-kicking, and if it did get delivered then you’d get some sort of review from some other poor fucker daft enough to sign up to it.
Bit of a waste of time really.
Because his deadline was today and his sim hadn’t arrived. “Waiting an extra day” is not an option.
Why give this man any of your money? He is known to be a scam artist. Stop supporting scam artists.
Because they’re a journalist exposing a scam with POTUS’s name on it.
But literally everything he’s ever done has been a scam. At some point it stopped being journalism and just became enabling our gullibility.
Like, when 20 out of 20 endeavours the dude has put his name in have been scams… Do you really need an investigation of endeavour #21?
Do you really need an investigation of endeavour #21?
Absolutely.
literally everything he’s ever done has been a scam.
And yet people keep buying, so clearly not everyone understands that.
At some point it stopped being journalism and just became enabling our gullibility.
$14 won’t enable him to do shit. In fact he’ll be disabled if fewer people buy his scams as a result.
A new sucker is born every minute. What does this accomplish?
It’s not even him. It’s just another scam company licensing the name to scam a few bucks outta some suckers.
They’ll be long gone by the time anyone that gives a shit gets back in control of the FCC to hold them accountable
You are overestimating the intelligence of the American populous.
Just throwing it out there, and for the record I agree with you, but if you’re going to criticize people’s intelligence, you can’t make an egregious spelling error like that.
Populace.
Nah, it’s ok. I’m American.
You don’t get a SIM
You become a SIMP
And you never will
Such a grift but I will give it to them, charging $47.45 is pretty clever marketing.
And it’s more expensive than the most expensive US mobile plan, which would have faster speeds, whereas Trump Mobile’s drops off after a certain (lower than T-Mobile’s own plans) amount of GB data usage since they’re solely using T-Mobile as an MVNO, and also has deprioritized data speeds during periods of network congestion.
It would also get you the ability to switch underlying network providers if you’re in a dead zone, international calling and data in more locations, better customer support given all the experiences we’ve seen from reviewers, and unlimited hotspot data, plus better bundle deals for families or people with smart watches that need separate data.
Hell, even T-Mobile’s own own plans, which are usually substantially more expensive than other companies they solely act as an MVNO for, like Mint Mobile, (which is actually owned by T-Mobile now) which will get you the same value as T-Mobile’s $50/mo plan in a $30/mo plan that is just $15/mo for new users for up to a 12 month period.
Trump Mobile is just $2.55 cheaper than T-Mobile’s $50 plan.
