The website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70. I received a confirmation email saying I’ll receive a confirmation when my order has been shipped, but I haven’t provided a shipping address or paid the full $499 price tag. It is the worst experience I’ve ever faced buying a consumer electronic product and I have no idea whether or how I’ll receive the phone.

I look forward to learning more about how terrible these phones turn out.

well i'm definitely shocked that the guy banned from operating a charity in new york because he scammed children with cancer would operate a shoddy business.

Unfortunately true. Worth reading that snopes article just to see how much fucked up stuff was actually happening though. It's not a mischaracterization to say they stole from kids with cancer through self dealing.

Usually he's not even involved in running the business, they're licensing deals where some scammer pays a few million up front to use the Trump name, which is then used to scam his followers.

With a track record like that, he's the first person I would trust. /s
