600,000 people sent in $100 deposits for this thing—!😧 (Dumbass is laughing all the way to the bank. )
Honestly, at this point I think MAGA are just fin-subs and like it that way. Keep sending Daddy Don your social security checks you little fin-cucks.
I would grant them a modicum of grace if they hadn’t had 40 fucking years to see what he was about. But they had it. And they chose this.
For nearly 600,000 Americans who trusted a brand built on the Trump name, the gold phone has become the latest entry in a long record of ventures that took their money and delivered nothing.
They wanted a Trump experience and they got one. Could argue they got what they paid for.
600k seems like an awful lot. Where is that estimate coming from?
Edit: 5% of that number seems more realistic ( https://lemmy.world/post/47222799 )
The clearest signal yet that buyers may never see either a phone or their money came with a revised terms of service published on 6 April 2026. The updated document states explicitly that paying a deposit ‘does not constitute a completed purchase and does not create a binding legal contract.’ The payment is described as ‘a conditional opportunity to buy the device if Trump Mobile eventually chooses to sell it,’ with the company retaining all control over whether a phone is produced at all.
That is absolutely fucking hilarious.
I also don’t think contracts work that way, otherwise that shit would be WAY more common. heh. But I’m also pretty sure nobody will see a penny back anyway.
I’d feel bad for them if they weren’t fucking in the middle of turning our nation into a fascist hellhole.
that’s how terms of service work on the internet. companies alter the terms whenever and however they like, and often to the detriment of the end user. it’s technically not legal, but they do it anyway.
If a tech company changes the agreement, you are able to stop using the service if you don’t like the new terms. With this phone people have already put money down for it. As long as they didn’t agree to these new terms, they should be eligible for a refund if the product never ships.
