An estimated 590,000 consumers paid $100 each to Trump Mobile to pre-order the T1 Phone, meaning $59 million has been paid for a product that may or may not exist. As of May 2026, not a single confirmed customer has received the device. No firm release date has been provided, and Trump Mobile has not responded to repeated media requests for comment.

From the Trump phone web site:
A preorder deposit provides only a conditional opportunity if Trump Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the Device for sale. A deposit is not a purchase, does not constitute acceptance of an order, does not create a contract for sale, does not transfer ownership or title interest, does not allocate or reserve specific inventory, and does not guarantee that a Device will be produced or made available for purchase.

I saw that on the wire this morning. It might be helpful to provide a link so other people can see what we are talking about.

Regardless of what the date is, it will be out in 2 weeks.

The phones have been held up by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. They would have been here by now, but who could have foreseen that this vital waterway would be closed?
I have it on good authority that the tariff checks, the DOGE checks, and the Republican Health Plan is also on the same ship. Some coincidenmce, eh?

There are ZERO USPS ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Unless, of course, it was that US carrier group the Iranians sank.

Why call out Dope personally?
Why not call out the millions of black Americans who never ever got the quality education for 60 years---despite White Liberals lording over them and running the system for them?
"Hey, did you ever get that education we 401K'ers promised you? Or did you have hoodie and meet Zimmerman on a bad day"?

i.e., the whole saga is just another complete and total win for MAGA and the gop.
it's hard to select the funniest part; gory details below :
'...A reporter from 404 Media, Joseph Cox, pre-ordered the phone on launch day and was initially charged $64.70. Cox was told he would receive a notification when the phone had been shipped but he had not provided a shipping address. In July, TrumpMobile placed two additional charges on Cox’s credit card, one for $100 and another for $64.70, without explanation. When Cox called the customer service number, the representative could not assist him. A Reuters reporter who called the line in June 2025 was greeted with, “Omega Auto Care, how can I help you?“...'
i guess 4seasons carwash no longer a sponsor.
