It’s supposedly made in the USA, cheap, and coming this fall. I doubt it all.

    In the scam world, sometimes it’s beneficial to leave clear indications it is a scam.

    This helps weed out people who won’t fall for it (and wastes the scammers time) from those who are good marks.

    Trump has a proven track record for releasing quality products that are exactly as advertised and always end up being wildly successful and definitely not scams or grifts. His brand is synonymous with quality and integrity. I don’t know why you’d even question this.

    It’s AI generated slop. Creating a product that checks all the boxes that people want without any basis in reality. There was obviously no engineer involved and the mockup images are obviously a mashup of existing products just made gold and with different text on it. I mean just look at the fingerprint scanner. There’s no border between it and the screen like say an iPhone 6 had, but if it’s a fingerprint scanner behind the screen, why is it showing? And either way, why is the color not smooth inside the circle but is outside and it’s obviously not a pixilation issue of the current image. It’s because the source images were either pixelated or multiple mixed together and ended up not getting the gold color applied the same to each source image.

        T-Mobile was one of the 20 or so companies that sponsored his birthday parade. I suspect they’d just bend over and take it.

        Twenty two corporations and foundations are sponsoring the 250th Army Birthday Parade and Festival on the National Mall, according to the Army. General Dynamics and USAA are the presenting sponsors for the festival, which is also benefiting from a long list of companies and nonprofits including: the Gary Sinise Foundation, Bell Textron, Wounded Warrior Project Wal-Mart, GOVX, Leonardo DRS, RTX Corporation, Lockheed Martin, Leidos, Armed Forces Mutual, Boeing, First Command, General Electric Aerospace, T-Mobile, King George, InterContinental Hotels Group and the NFL.
