MAGAts still waiting for their Trump phones.

$100 bucks a pop for nothing. 590,000 MAGAts still waiting.

Trump, Eric & Junior promised their patriotic ‘Made in the USA’ cell phones would be delivered in Aug to the MAGA rubes. Still no phones, and the ‘Made in USA’ claim had been scrubbed from their website. Scam #1,284. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

They won’t get a refund or a phone. Nice almost 6 million in the pocket for the piggy boys.

4. MaddowBlog-Still no signal from Trump Mobile phones more than five months after launch

Remember when Trump’s family announced a new wireless phone service and cell phone that would carry his name?

So no one was especially surprised in June when the Trump Organization announced the launch of a wireless phone service that would carry the president’s name — marketed to those Donald Trump Jr. described as “real Americans” — and sell a gold-colored $499 phone, dubbed the T1.

At the rollout, the public was told to expect everything to be in place by the end of the year. As November nears its end, what happened? NBC News reported:

NBC News placed an order for a T1 phone in August, paying the $100 deposit for the purposes of tracking the $499 phone’s development. After confirming with the credit card company that the transaction was not fraudulent, NBC News received a confirmation email verifying the order. But the company provided no proactive updates after the order. NBC News made five separate phone calls to the Trump Mobile customer support line between September and November.


In October, NBC News was told to expect a Nov. 13 ship date. When that date came and went, an operator at the call center said to expect delivery in the “beginning of December.” (The same operator blamed delays on the government shutdown, which didn’t appear to make any sense.)

Making matters worse, the Trump Mobile website has gone through a series of edits, including the elimination of release dates and “Made in the USA” assurances.

hey, the dictator wannabe who extorts payoffs from colleges under threat of defunding based upon bs antisemitism accusations,

who's pocketing donor money,

Data shows Trump is 'funneling' donor money into his bank account - Alternet

and who has various government agencies hard at work, sharing, gathering, and compiling the personal information of every American citizen,

wants us to use his phone. Right.

States have anti-fruad laws on the books and can bring charges for anything that is done in their borders.

Federal pardons won't protect them.
