Not Satire: Trump Organization Announces New Mobile Phone Service

There always seems to be something new coming out of the Trump Organization. This time, it's a mobile phone service.

Yes, for real. I can't believe this isn't satire:

[Angelino97]

There are only three providers: Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T.

They own the infrastructure.

Every other mobile phone service piggybacks on one of the Big Three.

The way it works: Acme Phone Service buys a large chunk of hours/bandwidth at a discount rate. Then sells off small chucks at a markup to its customers.

I wonder which of the Big Three Trump's service will piggyback on?

[Tell It Right]

Agreed.

[Angelino97]

It's not quite competition. Whichever phone service you use, you're using one of the big three: Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T.

See my post 21.

[Red Badger]

Probably a combo...................

[FreeReign]

Cringe.

Your response? I don't know the details of this plan but I do know my phone vendor hates me, hates you and hates MAGA.

Why does the idea of having a friendly phone carrier make you cringe?

[cableguymn]

No such thing.

“Doesn’t that break some sort of law?”

It is the Trump business, not Trump and the Presidency.

Now, do you really think they would roll out a new business without checking first to see if it were legal?

[GailA]

I’d love to get rid of ATT. We have two lines, and a local zip for WIFI.

[ridesthemiles]

THOSE BUSINESSES MOSTLY INVOLVE GRIFT.

BIDEN WAS AT THE TOP

[odawg]

These carriers can make use of government funding and incentives to build towers.

[laplata]

The Left loves this.

“Biden did nothing wrong comparable to this”.

[Dr. Sivana]

Sorry to say, I think this is a dumb idea.

If he survived the fungible trading tokens and the golden sneakers, he’ll survive this. It is part of the package. I chuckle, keepmy wallet in my pocket, and move on.

[Dr. Sivana]

I want a phone that cannot be tracked.

A phone HAS to trackable, or it cannot work.

[Coronal]

If a phone connects to a cell network it can be tracked.

[laplata]

I have Consumer Cellular and at $32.00/month with no contract or problems, I’m happy.

[Dr. Sivana]

What does Starlink piggyback on?

[RoosterRedux]

This is a licensing venture under the Trump Organization, not a direct business run by President Trump. Still, it’s a tacky move that blurs the line between brand and public office.

I’d suggest the President ask his sons to ease up on selling the name until his term is over—it just doesn’t look good.

[Captainpaintball]

He fell for another trap yet again.

[maro]

Licensing is the Trump business model.

[Red Badger]

The Left has been telling their minion morons that Trump is just in this to make money for all his ‘rich friends’ anyways whether true or not. So might as well take advantage of the situation..........
