The Trump Organization has launched its latest business venture, Trump Mobile, a new mobile phone service aimed at Trump supporters and conservative consumers.
The company markets the service as a “patriotic alternative” to big telecom brands, combining politics with consumer tech.
Two Main Products: The T1 Phone and the 47 Plan
Trump Mobile has two key offerings:
The T1 Smartphone
- Price: $499
- Design: Gold-colored body engraved with an American flag and Trump’s slogan, “Make America Great Again”
- Operating System: Android 15
- Display: 6.8-inch AMOLED screen
- Cameras: 50MP main camera on the back and a 16MP selfie camera
- Storage: 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage
- Production: Advertised as “Made in America,” but experts question if full domestic production is possible
- Pre-orders: $100 deposit required; release expected in September 2025
The 47 Plan
- Monthly Price: $47.45 (linked to Trump’s bid to be the 47th U.S. president)
- Features: Unlimited calls, texts, and data; 24/7 roadside assistance; pharmacy discounts; and telehealth services
- Network: Uses the major U.S. telecom networks through a third-party provider (likely an MVNO setup, but the partner is undisclosed)
- Support: U.S.-based customer service centers (locations unknown)
A Branding Play, Not a Tech Revolution
Trump Mobile is a licensing deal, meaning Trump’s team isn’t manufacturing the phones or building the network. Instead, they’ve licensed the Trump brand to a telecom partner, much like Trump’s past branded products such as steaks, cologne, or hotels.
While Trump Mobile’s plan includes extras like health discounts and roadside help, it’s priced higher than popular budget carriers like Visible or Mint Mobile. Critics note that similar benefits could be purchased separately for less money.
Humorous Reactions and Internet Buzz
Social media has had fun with the launch, joking about rumors like autocorrect changing everything to ALL CAPS or wild features like a Trump-voiced assistant — though these claims are clearly jokes.
A Growing Trend in Trump-Branded Products
Trump Mobile is the latest in a string of Trump-branded ventures, following recent launches of Trump Bibles and Trump-branded sneakers. In 2024, Trump reportedly earned over $8 million from such deals, with that figure likely to rise once Trump Mobile launches.
In Summary
Trump Mobile is more about politics and branding than new technology. With a gold smartphone, a politically themed mobile plan, and patriotic branding, it targets Trump supporters who want their tech choices to match their political views. Whether it succeeds in the crowded U.S. telecom market remains to be seen.
Expected Launch: September 2025
Availability: Nationwide in the U.S., primarily through online orders
