, who is currently serving his second term as the 47th President of the United States.

Trump Mobile claims to provide network coverage equivalent to the nation's three largest wireless carriers —
Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile
— though representatives declined to specify which backend carrier powers the network, as mentioned in a report by NBC.
The website further states that the service will offer U.S.-based customer support. However, when contacted, a customer service agent declined to reveal the exact location of the call center, citing 'security reasons.'

Trump Phone: Gold-Toned 'T1' Device Unveiled
Alongside the telecom plan, the Trump Organization announced the introduction of the
Trump Phone
, officially named the
T1
. Priced at $499, the Android-based device reportedly comes with
Android 15 OS
, a
6.8-inch AMOLED screen
, a
16-megapixel front camera
, a
50-megapixel rear camera
,
12GB of RAM
, and
256GB of storage
. The smartphone features a
gold-colored metal frame
etched with the American flag and branded slogans like
'Make America Great Again.'
Licensing Model and Ethical Concerns
Much like other Trump-branded merchandise — including
Trump Bibles, sneakers, and wristwatches
— the Trump Mobile venture operates under a
licensing agreement
. The fine print on the official website notes that neither the mobile service nor the smartphone is developed, manufactured, or sold directly by the Trump Organization or its affiliates.
This model has drawn scrutiny from ethics watchdogs due to potential conflicts of interest, especially given President Trump's dual role as a business magnate and head of state. Notably, President Trump reported earnings exceeding
$8 million in 2024
from various licensing arrangements.
Market Comparison and Response
While Trump Mobile's plan price point positions it at a premium, it appears costlier than several existing competitors. For instance,
Visible by Verizon
offers a similar unlimited plan at $25/month, and
Mint Mobile
has a comparable plan priced at $30/month over a 12-month term.
As of Monday, the country's top wireless providers had not issued any public statements regarding the entry of
Trumpmobile
into the telecom space.
With this strategic brand extension, the Trump Organization continues its trend of leveraging political capital into commercial ventures, setting the stage for what could be a high-profile addition to the U.S. mobile market.

US Says Tariff Deadline Of August 1 Is Firm, No Extensions
The US deadline of August 1 for imposing tariffs on its trading partners is firm and there will be no extensions, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday. "So, no extensions, no more grace periods. On August 1, the tariffs are set. They'll go into place. Customs will start collecting the money, and off we go," Lutnick told "Fox News Sunday." After the levies kick in, President Donald Trump -- who was negotiating Sunday in Scotland with European Union officials -- is still willing to keep talking, Lutnick said. Of the Europeans, Lutnick said, "You know they're hoping they make a deal, and it's up to President Trump, who's the leader of this negotiating table. We set the table." So far, five countries have struck deals with the Trump administration ahead of the Friday deadline as it tries to overhaul the global system of largely free trade by slapping tariffs on countries that the United States deems as engaging in unfair practices. These five are Britain, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan. The levies they accepted are often higher than the new base rate of 10 per cent that the United States has applied to most countries since April. But they are far below the levels the Trump administration threatened to impose if no deal were reached.
