What a shame. I was super excited to send money to this grifter and show off how much of a patriot I am. And it's fake gold, which everyone knows is super classy.

Imagine being the PRESIDENT OF THE USA and still feeling the need to shout “LOVE ME” every five minutes

PedoPhone, for Rape™️

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 54 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

I mean, it's obviously just gonna be a rebranded budget phone by a Chinese brand like Ulefone or Umidigi, like that "Freedom Phone" by that crypto-fuckface, whatever his name was. I don't know why anyone is still bothering to report on this.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 47 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Because it is a brand with POTUS' name on it. And we should continue to shine light on him and his grifts until he glows like the fuckin sun.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 28 points 6 days ago

POTUS

Pedophile of the US

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Buy American, hire American, AMERICA FIRST, amirite?

I hate Trump so much

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

America first, unless it's too much of a hassle

Buy a cheap piece of shit phone, spray it in a tacky gold colour and BAM, sorted.
You can still look like a complete cunt but without having to be robbed by a filthy orange paedophile.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I think that was the intention.

How could Kennedy do this to us?

Friggin' FDR and his new deal nonsense has had downstream effects no one had the foresight to predict. Franklin F'd up this phone.

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 28 points 6 days ago (2 children)

this con man could shit on a plate and his cult followers would spend their last dollar to buy it

it's incredible how much of themselves they're all too happy to sacrifice (i.e., transfer ownership to trump) in order to own the libs

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Trump, Scientology, Warren Jeffs, etc...

We never learn.

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 25 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We never learn.

entirely by design

https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/texas-gop-no-more-critical-thinking-in-schools/2012/06

We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Looked that up last year, dropped that from the Texas GOP platform over a decade ago. I suspect it was like CRT, a thing to get up in arms about that wasn't being taught anyway.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

"We" - speak for yourself. I've hated this guy since 1985

Why aren't there being lawsuits filed for this? This has got to be illegal, isn't it? I know I'm being naive, but why, how?

[–] amateurcrastinator@lemmy.world 27 points 6 days ago

Those checks and balances are going to kick in any day now!

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Because the supremes have ruled everything this president does is legal. If he can somehow make it an "official act."

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 3 points 5 days ago

Diana Ross nooooo!

[–] Alaknár@piefed.social 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Corrected title:

The "Trump phone" just "missed" another "release date"

We all know it's just a grift, right?

[–] AZX3RIC@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is something he learned from Elon.

Roadster pre-orders was nothing more than an interest free loan.

[–] Alaknár@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago

Tesla, at least, did something on their own. Trump phone, however, if it ever gets released, will be just a drop-shipped Huawei.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Just roll a tatty low end Android phone in gold glitter and burn a grand.

It'll be classier and probably work better.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I don't speak a dialect of English that uses that word but context clues tell me "tatty" means "the shittiest barely functional one electron away from being a brick phone fractions of a penny can buy".

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

When I've heard "tatty," it's been short for "tattered." Like "threadbare." However, as you said, from context I assume that's not what's meant here.

YOU WOULDN’T ROLL a TATTY

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago

Roll Tatties!

And yet they all hated the Obama phone…

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 days ago

Well yeah, the Obama phone thing was actually trying to help people.

That tan suit was a national shame

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

How many ~~fools~~ people pre-ordered one?

[–] rainbowbunny@slrpnk.net 8 points 6 days ago

Well dang it everyone. It's Cyberpunk 2077 all over again. /j

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I don't even want the latest Galaxy, Pixel, or douchiephone... Why would I want a trump phone?

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

To advertise your advanced douche status.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

More time to install some malware into it.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

snake oil salesmen have nothing on this motherfucker
