The Trump phone just missed another release date

https://www.theverge.com/news/851151/trump-phone-missed-another-release-date

What a shame. I was super excited to send money to this grifter and show off how much of a patriot I am. And it's fake gold, which everyone knows is super classy.

Imagine being the PRESIDENT OF THE USA and still feeling the need to shout “LOVE ME” every five minutes

PedoPhone, for Rape™️

More like LOVE ME… OR ELSE!

I mean, it's obviously just gonna be a rebranded budget phone by a Chinese brand like Ulefone or Umidigi, like that "Freedom Phone" by that crypto-fuckface, whatever his name was. I don't know why anyone is still bothering to report on this.

Because it is a brand with POTUS' name on it. And we should continue to shine light on him and his grifts until he glows like the fuckin sun.

The issue is that the people not voting or voting for him are conveniently kept in the dark.

Watch, people will come to fall over themselves to insist it’s not worth it to let the fascist enablers of their family know they are traitors to democracy.

If people won’t even tell their families they are disappointed in them and they are acting out of line they won’t say it to ANYONE. If people do not love their families enough to say anything, they definitely don’t love their own country to say anything.

You bite your tongue around strangers or people you don’t care about. The fact that people are doing that with people they love proves there really isn’t love there. It’s something else.

Looked that up last year, dropped that from the Texas GOP platform over a decade ago. I suspect it was like CRT, a thing to get up in arms about that wasn't being taught anyway.

"We" - speak for yourself. I've hated this guy since 1985

At least it would be a plate of shit and not a hollow plastic doodie.

Buy a cheap piece of shit phone, spray it in a tacky gold colour and BAM, sorted.
You can still look like a complete cunt but without having to be robbed by a filthy orange paedophile.

Why aren't there being lawsuits filed for this? This has got to be illegal, isn't it? I know I'm being naive, but why, how?

Those checks and balances are going to kick in any day now!

Because the supremes have ruled everything this president does is legal. If he can somehow make it an "official act."

Corrected title:

The "Trump phone" just "missed" another "release date"

We all know it's just a grift, right?

This is something he learned from Elon.

Roadster pre-orders was nothing more than an interest free loan.

Tesla, at least, did something on their own. Trump phone, however, if it ever gets released, will be just a drop-shipped Huawei.

Just roll a tatty low end Android phone in gold glitter and burn a grand.

It'll be classier and probably work better.

Roll a tatty?

What's tatties, precious?

Widdershins@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 262d (2 replies)

I don't speak a dialect of English that uses that word but context clues tell me "tatty" means "the shittiest barely functional one electron away from being a brick phone fractions of a penny can buy".

my_hat_stinks@programming.dev · 5 pts · 262d

It's also potatoes.

toynbee@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 261d

When I've heard "tatty," it's been short for "tattered." Like "threadbare." However, as you said, from context I assume that's not what's meant here.
