The Trump phone was announced last week with a claim that the device would be made entirely in America, and people were rightly skeptical. Trump Mobile's $500 T1 Phone "is a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier," the Trump Organization said in a press release.

The Trump Organization jumped into the smartphone business on June 16, announcing a $499 gold-hued phone and a mobile phone plan, proclaiming on the Trump Mobile website that device would be "designed and built in the United States." It's a claim that many experts were skeptical about. Now, just over a week later, site has dropped that phrasing. Instead, new wording on Trump Mobile cites "American hands" and "American values" but steers clear of claiming the phone, called the T1, will be made i

The Trump Phone no longer promises it’s made in America

When the Trump Organization launched the Trump Mobile wireless carrier, it also launched a flagship phone called the T1 Phone 8002 (gold version). One of the phone’s main selling points was that it was to be made in America. We figured that was unlikely to be true. And we were right: sometime in the last several days, the Trump Mobile site appears to have been scrubbed of all language indicating the phone is to be made in the USA.
