In June 2025, the Trump Organization announced the launch of the “Trump Phone”, a smartphone at $ 499 presented as “100 % made in USA”. The first generation of this phone is now available for pre -order, and its launch has been recently accompanied by advertisements on social networks.
However, Internet users are already pointing out disturbing inconsistencies: in a post supposed to show the phone, we can see what seems to be a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, with T1 logos referring to the model “Trump T1 Phone 8002” and an American flag added on the image.
These photos were widely criticized and some observers hastened to specify: “The phone on the image is a Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra retouched on Photoshop, with a shell from the Spigen brand. This is not the ‘T1 Phone ‘. The Spigen logo remains visible under the American flag added digitally. “

“Made in America” ou “Made in China” ?
However, this scandal is only the last in a long series. The Trump Organization initially said that the phone would be fully designed and manufactured in the United States. This promise was quickly questioned by experts, who point out that it is practically impossible to produce a fully American smartphone, especially due to high costs and dependence on foreign components.

According to Numeramathe analysis of technical documents revealed that the smartphone presented as “Made in USA” was actually only a “T-Mobile Wingtech Revvl 7 Pro 5G”, an entry-level model made in China.
