Trump Organization scraps ‘made in the USA’ tag for its gold T1 smartphone
- The Trump Organization launched Trump Mobile and announced the T1 Phone 8002 with a $499 price tag, originally claiming it was made in America as of June 2025.
- This claim was quickly revised after experts noted the T1 Phone likely resembled the China-made REVVL 7 Pro 5G, raising doubts about the phone's domestic manufacturing.
- Trump Mobile removed references to 'made in America' from its website and changed screen size specs from 6.78 to 6.25 inches amid vague marketing and unclear shipping timelines.
- A spokesperson claimed that T1 phones are manufactured in the United States, but Eric Trump later clarified that producing the phones domestically is a future objective rather than the current situation.
- These developments suggest Trump Mobile is backtracking on U.S. manufacturing promises, while the T1 Phone faces uncertain release timing and skepticism about its authenticity.
