Trump’s T1 Phone Quietly Drops its “Made in America” Promise
Opening snapshot
Just last week, the Trump Organization rolled out its gold-trimmed T1 smartphone with a triumphant pledge to build it on U.S. soil. Today that banner is gone. In its place: softer language about “American-proud design” and “values.”
From “Made Here” to “Designed with American Values”
An eagle-sized headline on Trump Mobile’s homepage once declared the phone “MADE IN THE USA.” Sometime over the past few days, every trace of that claim vanished. The site now insists only that “American hands” are behind the device—without saying where those hands actually assemble it. A cached copy confirms the rewrite, noting that all explicit references to domestic manufacturing have been scrubbed.
The Spec Sheet Is Shifting, Too
The makeover did not stop with the patriotic tagline. The screen once measured 6.78 inches; the page now lists 6.25. RAM, originally touted at 12 GB, has disappeared from the specs entirely. Shipping, once promised for September, has slipped to a vague “later this year.” These moving targets strengthen suspicions that Trump Mobile may be swapping suppliers—or scrambling to find any.
Why the Retreat Matters
Smartphones are built on global supply chains; producing one entirely in the United States would require factories that simply do not exist at scale. By dialing back the boast, Trump Mobile quietly acknowledges that reality. Yet the rebrand still leverages patriotic imagery to sell a product whose true origin remains opaque. For consumers—and voters—the episode is a textbook reminder to read the fine print before buying the headline.
You have to be drunk and stupid to ever believe his lies. I never have and never will.
It was always a BS lie, just another grift!
