Where are the Trump phones? 590,000 Americans paid $100 dollar down payment to get 'The greatest phone in the history of phones'. $59,000,000...and nobody has phone. The Trump family has $59,000,000 and there hasn't been a single phone delivered to anyone. A GOLD 'Made in America' phone...THE BEST PHONE EVER!!!!! People are asking 'Where's my phone?' Hmmmmmmm, hey MAGA, do you guys have any idea what's going on?? Surely the Trumps aren't scamming us...if anyone can find out what's up let us know.

It's hard to find something 100% made in the US, especially electronics, since a lot of electronic components are made in China.

as someone who's been in mfg for 30 years, NOTHING is truly made in america. it's all china. we might get shit and stamp something on it, but it's made someplace else. or part of it is. the important part.
that is what happens when democrats shipped out everything in the 90s to

it's not really IMPORTANT; people just like to hang onto shit trump says.
like when he made a typo people were making mugs and tv shirts.

He could have been told that it was made in america. It could be a deal fell through. and like i said, things can be 'made in the usa' but be entirely comprised of foreign parts.

if our country was a better country that didn't sell itself out due to politicians, we could have phones built here. Sadly, china is a better country through hard work.

Where I work, most of our components are made in Utah, However
one component is made in Mexico, I work at the assembley plant as a
trainer where we put the parts together for shipment to all the auto companies.

if you look up china's industrial revolution you will see that they took over basically everything.

i know all this but i'll paste from the internets because i'm lazy:

Proto-industrialization (1978-1988): Moving away from centrally planned mandates, China encouraged rural enterprises and collective ownership in
small towns. This unleashed localized market competition, boosted peasant incomes, and provided millions of jobs outside of traditional state-owned enterprises.


Light Mass Production (1988-1998): The country shifted its focus to labor-intensive mass production. By utilizing its vast labor force, China became the world's largest producer and exporter of textiles, toys, and furniture.


Heavy and Advanced Manufacturing (1998-Present): This phase shifted from manufacturing simple consumer goods to mastering the "means of mass production". This saw massive infrastructure scaling, steel production, and a transition into high-tech manufacturing, culminating in global dominance in sectors like electric vehicles (EVs) and green tech


those parts from utah probably have something from china in them.

Nope, we actually manufacture everything at various plants in Utah except for the component that we manufacture in Mexico, due to material costs.
We own the plant in Mexico.
I agree most companies source out manufacturing to cheap labor countries.

it's not the cheap labor. these countries are good at what they do.
there's little competition in some cases.

china is the biggest producer of steel and other metals and minerals.
and several other things.

look up their industrial revolution. it's pretty remarkable.

I heard California passed a law saying you can't label a product as "made in the USA" if a certain percentage or higher of its parts were not made in the US. I heard of this because I follow some guitar forums, and Fender (guitar maker, located in California) was affected by this, because now they can't label their US-made guitars as made in the USA. Apparently they're labeling those guitars with "Coronoa, California" now instead.

He could have been told that it was made in america. It could be a deal fell through. and like i said, things can be 'made in the usa' but be entirely comprised of foreign parts.

Those products usually say "ASSEMBLED in the USA," not "Made in..." As I pointed out before, Wal-Mart got in trouble for putting "Made in..." on products that were only assembled here (if even that!) several years ago.

So it isn't just a pile on Trump thing. Companies have been piled on
before for doing it.

if our country was a better country that didn't sell itself out due to politicians, we could have phones built here. Sadly, china is a better country through hard work.

I covered that in my last response, i.e. that this is correct and who was
most responsible for getting us here.

The phone? No, if you read about it, is is a model made and assembled in
China starting in 2025. T-Mobile has it on offer, but not in special Trump gold, for significantly less than the rebadged Trump T1.

After it was announced that it would start shipping, a company in China
even trolled them about it.
