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.

- 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.

Even calling it a phone company is generous: It’s basically a licensing agreement and a lazy coat of paint on another, half-assed MVNO effort (Patriot Mobile), which in turn just resells T-Mobile service. A cornerstone of the supposed company was a new $500 Trump T1 phone. To pitch the phone, the press release had a badly photoshopped rendition of …
Just weeks after US President Donald Trump's family business proudly announced a gold-colored "Made in the USA" smartphone, all signs indicate that the device will not be made in the US.
