Trump's TI Phone Just A Rebranded Chinese T-Mobile

It turns out that Trump's TI Phone, which sells for $499, is actually a gold T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G that retails for $172. Trump also says it will eventually be made in the United States, an idea industry analysts call preposterous.

More bullshit on top of other bullshit, in other words.
