An estimated 590,000 buyers paid a £74 ($100) deposit to secure one, collectively handing the venture roughly £43.7 million ($59 million). As of May 2026, not a single confirmed customer has received the device. Now, a fresh wave of anger is spreading across MAGA forums after buyers received communication making clear that their money is, for all practical purposes, gone.
Vote down the drain. Money down the drain. America down the drain.
America down the drain.
The more I think about this, the more I’m fine with it.
Nothing will change.
What do you mean? It is changing rapidly
Definitely not when it comes to the root causes. Trump was created by the past ~100 years of US society and government, he didn’t just pop in out of nowhere. He’s very much a “mask off” type of politician, and the rot runs far, far deeper than what he reveals.
Yeah I didnt mean its changing for the better
They will still vote the same way.
Sure that might not change^^ but other things do

What a surprise - the phone that was a photoshopped Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in a Spigen case isn’t real.
$47.45/month
Wait was it pitched at “47.45” because…of his presidential terms?! THAT’S SO STUPID!
Lol it also illustrates the mentality so well, that the numbers are out of sequence but this would hypothetically squeeze people for 2 more bucks, so of course that’s what they’re gonna do.
As a Canadian I’m very jealous of your mobile plan prices.
Canadian here - I pay less than $30 taxes in for a grandfathered plan that started with 2GB of data and they kept giving me retention bonuses in the last few years. So now I have about 25GB of data.
I pay around $50 with Bell. It does everything I need. Granted, I think I only get 15-20 GB download, but my phone is almost always connected to external wifi. Some months I barely use more than 5 GB.
Those gigabytes were supposed to be gold-plated and oxygen-free, to be fair
There is absolutely no way a phone that’s made in the USA could be sold for only $499.
TBF - no wait, fairness is wrong here -
playing devil’s advocate, they did dial back on that claim somewhat, it was known that this will be some off-brand device, most likely made in China.They originally said it was going to be 100% American made for that price, and only toned it down later on. Now they just say “Designed with American values in mind”, whatever that means.
America - founded by grifters, always ready to milk the rubes for every cent.
It means “we’ll make sure to use exploitive underpaid overseas labor in its production and make this product at the lowest price possible” because what could be more American than that?
Turbo capitalism?
“Designed with American values in mind”
“Everyone involved in the design and supply chain was promised they’d be paid in exposure after the work was completed.”
“Designed with American values in mind”
This means the phone will rape and traffic children and you won’t care.
“Designed with American values in mind”, whatever that means.
Nothing. Non-commital verbiage aka hot air.
Does anyone have the actual email? I want to see the bullshit language used to let these rubes down.
A quick search did not reveal it, but the article above states
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.
And an AOL article has some text
“A preorder deposit provides only a conditional opportunity if Trump Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the Device for sale. A deposit is not a purchase, does not constitute acceptance of an order, does not create a contract for sale, does not transfer ownership or title interest, does not allocate or reserve specific inventory, and does not guarantee that a Device will be produced or made available for purchase.”
Let that sink in: they revised the TOS after people already paid. I truly hope they get sued.
MAGA is the pinnacle of stupidity.
RIP the verge series :( https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/843498/trump-phone
Donald Trump, the grift that keeps on grifting.
Trump […] smartphone that remains undelivered, sparking outrage
Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur
Seriously, this is hilarious.
Dregs of society they all are
Leopards ate my phone!

But as a consolation, you can be first in line to place a $250 deposit on Trump 2 Phone (full price just $750)!
I take it
You probably aren’t even kidding.
This has always been about money laundering; some fools got involved along with it though.
This is all obviously Biden’s fault somehow though, right?
Up next: “Attorneys” that reach out to these people saying that in order to form a class action, they need to pay a retainer of $1000. For each person they bring into the class, they get a higher percentage of any “winnings”.
Who could have seen this coming?? Oh wait, anyone with a brain.
