Half A Million People Paid for a Trump Phone That Was NEVER Coming. - The Logical Leftist



May 6, 2026
Trump Mobile promised a gold phone "proudly designed and built in the United States." 590,000 people paid $100 deposits. Nearly a year later: zero phones delivered, zero refunds issued, and the terms were quietly changed to make deposits non-refundable.

________________________________________________

Last month, Trump Mobile quietly removed all release dates for the Trump T1 Phone from their website. They also changed their terms so that customers' deposits are now a (non-refundable) "opportunity to participate" in future product releases.
