Your next phone could run on Trump Mobile
Donald Trump might be planning to launch a mobile network and a Trump-branded phone. DTTM Operations LLC, the company Trump uses to manage his trademarks, has applied to use both “Trump” and “T1” for telecoms, mobile accessories, and even phones themselves.
The applications, filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office last Thursday, cover wireless phone services, mobile phones, cases, and chargers, plus retail stores to sell them all.
A trademark application doesn’t guarantee that a Trump mobile network is about to launch, but it does signal intent. “The specificity of the applications points to serious consideration,” patent attorney Josh Gerben wrote in a blog post on Friday, noting that as part of the filing a lawyer for Trump will have “signed a sworn declaration affirming the company’s genuine plans to bring these goods and services to market.”
Trump launching a mobile network could have complications. For one, Gerben points out that T-Mobile might have a thing or two to say about the application, since “T1” could infringe on its own trademarks. That’s before we get to the question of how FCC chairman Brendan Carr will handle regulating a network owned by his boss.
Trump isn’t the only public figure with his sights set on telecoms. While Ryan Reynolds has gotten out after selling his stake in Mint Mobile to T-Mobile in 2023, just last week saw the launch of SmartLess Mobile, brought to you by the podcast of the same name hosted by Hollywood stars Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes.

You can prepay for a year of unlimited with Mint Mobile for way less than this.

...a Trump-branded phone, the T1, which they claim will be made in America.
no it wont. we do not have the infrastructure to make all of the components in america. they might be able to assemble it here, but it will definitely not be made here.
Literally all trump merch is made in SEA and he claims it's made in America and no one cares.

Easy, you import a phone and case, and the "manufacturing" is a worker who puts the case onto the phone and places it in branded packaging, slap a made in America sticker, and there ya go.

So the mobile company is called T1 Mobile. Doesn't that infringe on the trademark of T Mobile? Seems like that would be confusing to a customer. Since it's an MVNO, T1 Mobile is likely piggy backing off of T Mobile's network.

Isn't this a plot point in The Kingsman?

Doesn't look like a flip phone to me. More like a knockoff iPhone, which is pretty on brand
That's just a picture, have you seen the actual phome?

They couldn't pay me.

Does the phone's browser filter out everything but MAGA content?

There are numerous errors on the page, from a processor section that doesn’t list a processor, RAM that’s described as storage, and the boast of a “5000mAh long life camera,” when it presumably means the battery.
Sounds like a quality product.
Now that's Fascist efficiency in action.
Hey TACO Boy, for your next trick will you make the trains run on time?

But I bet they feel morally superior. Stupid people spend their money on things they find important. Even if it's just feeling like a better person than some brown person. This is why education is always an important thing.
That’s why they’re destroying education.

Copy-pasted the Chinese to English translation from whatever company website is making the phones.
even that shouldn't result in such utter nonsense, especially not nowadays where google translate is generally decent

Let's hope the phone is of such low quality that the battery self-combusts in users' pockets.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]An obviously photoshopped picture at that. The camera spacing is so weird and it doesn't even have a flash.
