In Screen Time, Tech reporter Rutger Otto writes on the internet every week. This time it is about the Trump family, who is going to sell its own mobile phone in the United States.
Americans will soon be able to buy an official Trump telephone, called T1. In pussy gold, with a large T (from Trump) and an American flag on the back. The real Trump fan pays 499 dollars (around 433 euros) and can therefore take out a subscription to the mobile network Trump Mobile, which also uses existing networks from, for example, T-Mobile and AT&T.
The phone is released by the Trump Organization, a company where Donald Trump was once in charge. Since his presidency, his two sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr. are in charge.
Although the president has little to do with it on paper, the device fully elevates the success of Trump Senior. It is not for nothing that the slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ is in all advertisements and costs a subscription to Trump Mobile $ 47.45 a month. Trump was the 45th and 47th president of the United States. I think that is smart to put those figures in reverse chronological order. That yields a little more per month.
According to the makers, Trump Mobile is for “the hardest workers in our country”. With “a wireless service that is affordable, propagates their values and delivers reliable quality on which they can build”. And the phone itself would have been designed and made in the US. And in Alabama, California and Florida, a spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal . This is how he should look:
The claim that the device is made entirely in the US is considered a lot of doubts. By me, but also by analysts. They say that the US currently has no production chain at the moment with which full smartphones can be made. Let alone if the phones have to come on the market in August. The Trump Organization probably means that imported parts are put together on American soil. The parts themselves come from abroad.
I see (after years of telephones testing) a little exciting smartphone. The T1 will never win the battle with the iPhone and top devices from Samsung. The specifications and the price are not there. That price also betrays that the phone was not made of real gold. There is no further word on the website about the processor that is in it (and where it comes from).
Another plausible option is that the T1 is made by a Whitelabelbedrijf from China. These are factories that make products themselves and then sell it to another company (in this case: the Trump Organization). That company sticks its own logo on it before the device comes on the market.
For the Trump Organization, the telephone business is serious – or at least an easy way to make money. And the name T1 suggests that the family intends to make a whole series of telephones. The specifications have not yet convinced me. Perhaps the next model with a subscription of à 48.47 dollars is doing better. Don’t call me.
