Critics Taunt Donald Trump For Delivering Worst Ever Ad For His Own Phone

President Donald Trump faced ridicule on Tuesday as critics suggested he’d delivered the perfect anti-advertisement for the newly launched Trump-branded smartphone.

Just hours after the Trump Organization unveiled its latest venture — “Trump Mobile” — the president said he doesn’t “believe in telephones.” Trump made the comment while explaining to reporters on Air Force One why he cut short his attendance at the G7 summit in Canada.

Trump said he left the gathering of world leaders early to return to Washington, D.C., so that he could address rising tensions between Israel and Iran.




When asked what he could do in the U.S. capital that he couldn’t do in Canada, Trump responded: “Just be a little bit, I think, more well-versed. Not having to use telephones so much, because I don’t believe in telephones. Because people like you listen to them, you know, so being on the scene is much better.”

That's a rather strange thing for a rational person to say, I think.
