Trump Mobile's smartphone removes the biggest 'America claim' it made from its website
Trump Mobile has quietly scrubbed its website of claims that its T1 Phone would be " MADE IN AMERICA ," replacing the bold manufacturing promise with vague language just days after the device's launch. The Trump Organization 's cellular service initially featured prominent banners declaring the phones would be manufactured domestically. However, the website now uses softer phrases like "designed with American values in mind," "Premium Performance. Proudly American," and mentions "American hands behind every device" without specifying actual production location. The changes come after President Trump's son Eric Trump promoted the device on Fox Business, saying customers would have "phones that are made right here in the United States of America" and operated "right out of St. Louis, Missouri."
