Trump family MAGAphones already hit a hang up - they can't be made in U.S. by launch date

A new line of smartphones, produced by the Trump Organization for “real Americans,” may have already hit a snag – it is almost impossible for them to be made in the U.S.

The MAGAphones are a self-branded smartphone and mobile service, though experts have pointed out that to reach the advertised price point of $499, some (if not the majority) of the component parts will likely have to be manufactured abroad – at least initially.

The president’s eldest sons – Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump – said on Monday that the gold colored “T1 Phone will be available in August, while the phone plan will cost $47.45 a month. The new mobile venture will include call centers based in the United States and phones made in America, the organization said.

It comes after the president has piled pressure on tech giant Apple to move its manufacturing base to the U.S. at the risk of feeling the wrath of his sweeping tariffs, introduced on so-called Liberation Day.

The gold colored T1 phone doubles as a portable shitter.

But sign up for a phone which can track you? Makes sense to me! I hope they do not express any anti government sentiments on the phone. Pretty sure the orange one will track such things.
