"Tr*mp's got some explaining to do, and for once it has almost nothing to do with his many presidential blunders. It seems the Tr*mp family's latest scam, a gold-plated "Made in USA" Android phone as the flagship product of the Tr*mp Mobile phone service, has yet to ship to the 59,000 suckers customers who forked over $100 each over a year ago."
"The phone was supposed to ship last year. The date kept getting pushed back, with users being told last month that the device was in the "final stages of certification and field testing" and would be shipped during the first quarter of 2026. As we inch toward the second quarter of the year, it's looking like people are never going to get their T1 mobile phones."
"If buyers took the time to read the fine print, they would have noticed that the $100 deposit entitles them to precisely nothing. "A preorder deposit provides only a conditional opportunity if Tr*mp Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the Device for sale," the terms of sale stated after a revision in April. "A deposit is not a purchase...and does not guarantee that a Device will be produced or made available for purchase.""
"To add insult to injury, anyone expecting a refund can probably say goodbye to that dream for good. If buyers took the time to read the fine print, they would have noticed that the $100 deposit entitles them to precisely nothing. "A preorder deposit provides only a conditional opportunity if Tr*mp Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the Device for sale," the terms of sale stated after a revision in April."
A gold-plated “Made in USA” Android phone was promoted as the flagship product of Trump Mobile, but it has not been delivered to about 59,000 customers who paid $100 deposits over a year ago. The shipping timeline has repeatedly slipped, with users previously told the device was in final certification and field testing and would ship in early 2026. As the year progresses, the phone appears unlikely to arrive. Customers seeking refunds may be unable to recover money because the terms state the deposit provides only a conditional opportunity and is not a purchase. The terms also state the deposit does not guarantee the device will be produced or offered for sale.
