Trump T1 phone presale collapses; buyers told they’ll get no phones or refunds
"Trump Phone" after collecting approximately $60 million in $100 deposits. Nearly 600,000 people trusted the presale since last summer, but today they have been informed that the devices will not be manufactured due to "logistical and national security issues." Made in China by Wingtech...
"How dare China cancel my phone! President Trump will make China pay for their perfidy, that's why I voted for him."
At some point all the grifting has to expose them to successful criminal or civil suits against them.
600,000 losers and suckers. Just the kind of dumb Trump targets when he grifts.
The nazis did the same with the Beetle before WW2.
Love this for anyone who thought, “THIS is the phone I want.”
🤣 All I can do is crack up.
I’m selling you a phone and China will pay for it.
Reports indicate that pre-order customers for the Trump Mobile T1 "golden" phone are receiving emails stating the devices will not ship and deposits are non-refundable. While not formally cancelled by an official statement, the project is widely considered delayed indefinitely or abandoned. ##ETTD
As of January 2026, reports suggest that nearly 590,000 to 600,000 pre-orders were placed for the "Trump T1 Phone". Consumers paid a $100 deposit, creating approximately $59 million in potential pre-orders.
If they were dumb enough to believe this grift, they should lose their money. It’s sad, but perhaps it will be a lesson learned.
