Well, well, well, whadd'ya know:
Earlier this year we noted how the Trump administration had cooked up a half-assed wireless phone company. Even calling it a “phone company” was being generous: the branding deal was basically just a licensing agreement and a lazy coat of paint on another, half-assed, MAGA-focused, mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) named Patriot Mobile, which itself just resells T-Mobile service.
What was supposed to set the venture apart was a “bold” new $500 Trump T1 smartphone.
To pitch the phone to unsuspecting rubes, the original press release had a badly photoshopped rendition of the device, peppered with claims the phone would be “proudly designed and built in the United States.”
It didn’t take long for the folks behind the phone to pull all the made in America claims from the website. And while originally the phone was supposed to launch in August or September, not long ago it was delayed until October 31. As November drew to a close, there’s still no sign of the device...
Hmmmm...
Would you like Trump steaks with that?

As Barnum observed; "Thee is a sucker born every minute."
From the article by Karl, Bode, sums it up nicely.
In that sense, it’s perfectly representative of Trump and his supposed business acumen. Just a lazy, hollow simulacrum of a real thing, targeting an audience that’s consistently too dim to notice the difference.
Trump is what we used to call a "rip off artist" although there is nothing artistic about trump's efforts. It boggles the mind that people still buy whatever he is selling. Nothing this guy does works properly or lasts, right down to his marriages. Bankrupt 6 times, sexual assault, selling ties, steaks, university courses, casinos. I know an idiot is born every minute but really. I guess people buy his stuff to try and emulate what they think is his elevated life style. His life style may cost money but its cheap and tacky. There isn't anything he hasn't failed at. Even cheats at golf. Guess his next big fail is to turn the U.S.A. into a failed state with some being tried as war criminals.
P.M. Carney, please don't buy those F 35s.
Soooooo like his health care plan…..it’s coming in a couple of weeks!📫
