For the vain? A DJT-branded cellphone plan

[Bob Jersey]

On the tenth anniversary of that infamous escalator ride, sons "Junior" and Eric announced the MVNO, which uses at&t, T-Mobile and Verizon's networks, and will shortly unveil a $499 companion MAGA phone... it'll have no credit checks nor contracts, much like its competition, but will of course be priced out of reach to most people that have protested #ThatFool's actions of late:  Variety (link)

It’s a confounding effect of his cult leader status that his followers have been unwilling to learn from Trump University, Trump Vodka, Trump NFTs, etc that this is another scam. The giveaway is the phone is designed and built in the US and will be on sale in September. For those on this list who are determined to buy one anyway here’s the tech media looking at the chances it’s real:

I’d rather be spied on by the Chinese government than by Trump.

Is there a way to block all calls that originate from a Trump phone? Because I can state emphatically that I would not want to take a call from anyone who willingly buys one of those things.

A summary of things I've seen regarding this latest round of graft:

• The phone itself is literally impossible - no phone manufacture is designing and building 5G Android 15-capable smartphones in the US.  Most likely scenario is that this is a Chinese iPhone knockoff rebranded in TACO's 'signature' style.  And the specs don't match up with any existing phone on either end of the price spectrum.
• The art depicting the phone itself is inconsistent.  Some photos just don't make sense when compared to any other phones in existence, and others are literally just an iPhone with his branding photoshopped on the back.
• The plan is a bad deal, even for prepaid wireless.  There are prepaid options direct from the big carriers & other MVNOs that get you more for less than the $47/mo this scam is asking for.
• Their coverage map shows the Gulf of Mexico. Whoops?

They’ve already backed off of the “Made in the USA” claim.
