The Trump Organization has launched Trump Mobile and plans to release the T1, a smartphone that it says is “made in USA” at the same time that the iPhone 17 will launch. The problem is, the phone was made in China.

Marking ten years after the launch of Donald Trump’s original presidential campaign, the Trump Organization has decided to launch its own mobile phone network. Dubbed Trump Mobile, it is a network that is being promoted as an All-American service," and heavily leaning on the Trump brand.

While the launch of a new mobile phone network will certainly draw an audience of Trump followers, it feels more like a cash-in on the Trump brand rather than a real attempt to take on the U.S. mobile market.

    This isn’t a mobile phone service provider. This is a carefully constructed data collection and tracking system that bills the user.

    The main difference is here is who has your data, and why they want it. T-Mobile isn’t deporting people.
