A Swanky Smartphone Offering for $47.45 a Month: Enter the Trump Mobile Market
Trump family debuts personal mobile device brand
Say hello to the latest addition to the Trump empire: Trump Mobile, a new player in the telecommunications market. Here's the dirt on this flashy new venture:
The Trump Family's Latest Endeavor
Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, under the guise of the Trump Organization, have dipped their toes into the smartphone market. The company behind this audacious move is T1 Mobile LLC, secured through a licensing agreement that allows them to brandish the Trump name.
The 47 Plan: A Pricy Monthly Offer
The monthly subscription, dubbed "The 47 Plan," will reportedly set you back $47.45 per month, a cost that's sure to have some scratching their heads. As a fun twist, this hefty price tag could be a nod to Donald Trump being the 47th and 45th President of the United States, in case you were wondering.
The plan comes with unlimited talk, text, and data, though prepare for your speeds to be throttled after the first 20GB each month. To sweeten the deal, Trump Mobile includes telemedicine services provided by Doctegrity, roadside assistance from Drive America, and mobile device protection courtesy of Omega Mobile Care.
The T1 Phone: Gold and American-Made
The T1 Phone, set to be sold alongside the service, boasts some impressive gold accents and is proudly manufactured right here in the USA. Technical details on the phone's features are scarce, but the focus appears to be on bling and American craftsmanship.
A Push into Tech and Ethical Concerns
As Trump's administration negotiates trade with China, focusing on export controls for key technology components used in smartphone production, the Trump family couldn't resist jumping on the "Made in America" bandwagon. Critics, however, question the ethics of such a move, given the intertwined nature of Trump's political endeavors and his business empire.
