Trump Mobile removes ‘made in the USA’ tag from its gold smartphone as critics question price tag
Trump Mobile drops key detail amid criticism
- Trump Mobile, a cellphone network operator using Trump's branding, quietly removed the "MADE IN THE USA" tag for its T1 Phone from its website.
- The website now features vaguer claims such as "American-Proud design" and being "brought to life right here in the USA."
- Experts express skepticism about the phone being fully US-made, citing the $499 price point and the absence of a complete domestic supply chain for phone components.
- Eric Trump, son of the president, suggested that while the phone could eventually be built in the United States, the initial batch would likely not be.
- Other details, including the phone's screen size, RAM, and initial shipping date, were also altered or removed from the website.
