@mori @georgetakei The Trump Org, obviously with total separation so there’s no way Trump can use his position to favor it, (sorry, blacked out from sarcasm there for a moment) is starting a mobile network or ‘MVNO.’

A MVNO is a sort of overlay to the existing carriers. One well-known example is Mint Mobile: they use towers and gear from existing carriers.

The Trumo deal also includes what will surely be the finest phone money can buy, in highly valuable gold case, running the best software available. All made in the USA!

(Sorry, another sarcasm overload blackout there.)

The phone will likely be a cheap imported model. The “Made in the USA” claim was walked back within hours of the announcement. The released specs are somewhat incoherent and the management pre-order web site is semi-functional at best according to early reports.

It will have a headphone jack. Unless that’s removed before it ships. It will be worth the $500 price, unless it gets edited down to a $100 imported re-badged model.
