BREAKING🚨 A top tech reviewer just described Trump’s new “gold” phone as looking like a urine sample — and that might be the nicest thing anyone’s said about it.
On CNN, CNET managing editor Patrick Holland reviewed the Trump Mobile handset that MAGA world has been hyping for months. He said the real device looks nothing like the slick, iPhone-style render that circulated last year, and more like a cheaply altered knockoff.
Under studio lights, he explained, the gold finish shifts between “mustard,” “cartoon coins from DuckTales,” and, yes, “a urine sample.” That’s the aesthetic. But the real problems start once you look under the hood.
Holland told viewers he couldn’t recommend the phone at all because basic information is missing. Reviewers still don’t know what processor it uses, what version of Android it’s actually running, or whether buyers will get regular security updates. Mainstream phone makers like Google and Samsung now promise 7–10 years of patches.
Trump Mobile hasn’t committed to anything close. Holland even raised the possibility that many people who put money down may never see a finished device, because so few actual customer units have surfaced compared with the hype.
Then there’s the fine print. The terms and conditions for Trump Mobile say that a “deposit is not a purchase,” doesn’t count as order acceptance, doesn’t create a contract for sale, and “does not guarantee that a device will be produced or made available for purchase.” In plain English: you can hand them cash, they can sit on it, and you still might not get a phone.
The device has already blown past its original U.S. manufacturing promises and appears to be assembled overseas from low-end generic parts.
Put it all together and the Trump phone looks less like a serious tech product and more like a political merch scam with a SIM card.
The branding screams “patriot,” the marketing tells supporters they’re “owning the libs,” and the legal language quietly tells lawyers that Trump’s team owes those supporters absolutely nothing. It’s Trump University, but for your pocket — except this time, security experts worry that people could be walking around with an unpatched, mystery chip tied to their personal data and calls.
Trump keeps selling himself as the master businessman who will bring back American manufacturing and protect his base from rip-offs. Yet every detail here — from the offshored production to the weasel-worded deposits — says the opposite.
The only thing being made in America is yet another chance for him to squeeze his most loyal fans.
