Trump's 'Golden' Phone Hit With Savage Reviews
The long-delayed golden Trump Mobile phone looks nothing like the advertised image, has a smaller screen than promised, and its color leaves a lot to be desired, according to one of the few people to lay eyes on a real one.
The $500 Trump phone has now been delivered to tech media for review, one year after it was announced and nine months after its hard launch to cash-rich MAGA diehards.
Not only is the screen smaller than expected, but the phone is also not made in America as promised, Patrick Holland, the managing editor of tech site CNET, told CNN. Rather, Holland added, the packaging says the phone is “designed with American values in mind.”
Holland reviewed the phone on CNN on Monday after spending the day testing it, and the news was not good for customers.

And he was just getting warmed up...
"Yeah, I think first, it looks nothing like the original image that we saw about a year ago, which kind of looks like an altered iPhone 16 Pro," Holland said on CNN.
"Next, the gold color. In real life, it kind of varies depending on what lighting you're in," he continued. "Sometimes it looks like those gold coins that Scrooge McDuck would jump into for DuckTales. Other times, it's got a mustard vibe to it. And yet other times, it kind of looks like a urine sample."
"But my hesitation is I would not recommend it, not because of that, but largely because we just don't know certain things about it," said Holland. "We don't know what the processor is in the phone. We don't know what the software and security updates will be."....
In other words, these phones may never arrive at all. And if they do, they'e guaranteed to be absolute garbage.
To put it bluntly: If you bought one of these things, you were begging to be scammed.
