Surprise, surprise, the Trump Mobile phone is a rugpull vaporware. Nine months after taking $100 deposits from 600,000 customers, the website quietly changed the terms of the deposit to say that a phone may never be produced at all.

The Trump family just fleeced $60M from their most diehard fans.

Hey, at least these chumps didn’t fork over $50k for a Roadster that hasn’t shown up after 9 years, huh?

Trump Mobile quietly rewrote its fine print to say the gold Trump phone may never be made, a year after taking $100 deposits

The terms and conditions said the preorder deposit gives people "a conditional opportunity" to buy the phone if the company makes it.
