Yes. Which is why he got involved in this. Hoping to get some information on the process then pull out before shipping. Then the next day they finally decided to ship, or something like that, so he got stuck.

Time to spin up dozens of shop fronts selling cheap made to order MAGA crap. Hell, have AI generate new merch that looks trumpish enough to sell...

On the one hand, they're obviously responsible for this shit

On the other hand, they're the mooks stupid enough to buy the Trump phone lol, a lot of evil people more responsible

They still need to learn consequence.

And we need to start being comfortable with naming and shaming again. These people are funding fascism both economically and ideologically.

I agree. It's about time we stop the "they are just dumb" discourse. Being stupid doesn't exempt you from the consequences of your acts. They are dumb, but they are also evil. Even if they are just stupid, they voted for an asshole because he wanted to hurt other people. At some point, you stop being just stupid to be also evil.

Cherry@piefed.social · 3 pts · 93d (1 reply)

I agree. And the idea of dumb is condescending. Some might be, some can also be smart, or persistent. That is often overlooked, and thats a dangerous underestimation.

Secondly the idea that taking the high road is the right thing to do, we have being doing that a long time and it’s been taken advantage off. There’s a big scale between being ideologically pure or a pacifist, to what you can still achieve with the ‘threat’ of consequence. People need start calling it what it is, it’s a fight and being ethically right is not going to save you from a bully.

I could have said that they wouldn't know better in 2016 when he was a first timer and his discourse was not as unhinged as it is today. But now? Mate, you voted for him AGAIN after what he did, and you did it because of what he was promising. You'll have to excuse me if I don't take the high ground and just want you to suffer for what you brouoht to yourself (and to the rest of us).

High ground, my ass. These magats don't deserve that we just "move forward and forget". Because if we do, next in line will be trump 2, unhinged bogaloo. Except he will be younger.

Punishment might not be educative, but honestly, I'm well beyond willing to teach them. What they must understand is that fascism recieves violence as answer so it's not good to follow it.

Not the main issue of course, but I found this fun:

Both YouTubers said the exposed database records indicated significantly lower customer interest than previously reported. According to Coffeezilla, internal order identifiers suggested roughly 30,000 total orders associated with around 10,000 unique customers, far below earlier public estimates claiming nearly 600,000 reservations.

So this grift will only net them ~$3M, not sixty. My heart weeps for them.

That is excellent, but add in the tax write off for “R&D” or whatever creative accounting they’ll do and that will balloon. I would guess we see a 1 billion loss since the IRS can’t audit him

Of course. These people are GOLDEN members of the "More Money Than Brains Club." They have shown that they will commit serious money to anything associated with Trump, even after knowing everything about him.

They are the dumbest of the dumb, and are willing to part with big money to prove it. That's a valuable mailing list.

Also they stay Golden members because it's too hard to tell the difference between Silver members and Platinum members...

Trump Mobile, the wireless carrier and smartphone brand tied to US President Donald Trump, is reportedly exposing sensitive customer information through an easily exploitable flaw on its website.

That is according to claims made by YouTubers Coffeezilla and penguinz0, both of whom said they were affected after ordering the company’s delayed T1 smartphone.

In separate videos, the creators said a researcher contacted them after discovering that Trump Mobile customer records could be accessed online, exposing personal data, including:

Even before it got off the ground there was a data breach. That trump. Failing upward constantly only means that the eventual fall will hit much harder.
