Trumps Golden Phone Hit With Savage Reviews
Cameron Adams
Tue, May 26, 2026 at 3:11 AM EDT
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.

(67,355 posts)1. Tech Experts Are Savaging Trump Phone: "IT'S LIKE A URINE SAMPLE!" - Jesse Dollemore
May 26, 2026
Jesse talks about the ongoing saga of scams surrounding Donald Trumps mobile phone grift. A few tech reporters have gotten their hands on the T1 phone and are lambasting it as the terrible item it is. One reporter from CNET said, Sometimes it looks like those gold coins that Scrooge McDuck would jump into for DuckTales. Other times, its got a mustard vibe to it, and yet other times, it kind of looks like a urine sample. He went on to say, While a couple of us in the media do have it, I cant find many cases of actual customers who put their money down to order the phone with the phone.
