Reminds me of a scam by the son(?) of Pablo Escobar a while back where they sold the ““Escobar”” Fold (which was obviously just a Samsung Galaxy Fold 1) for $200 or something ridiculously low like that.
Of course it sold out within minutes but the only ones that ever received their phones were influencers.
This blew me away. I had HTC U11 and after that google or whoever it was bought out much of their talent and their next phones were garbage. I assumed the company died, but nope
It was never going to be made in America that was pretty much always going to be a lie. It’s like the whole US made routers only thing, it’s obviously never going to work because the US famously doesn’t make anything anymore, and certainly doesn’t make anything with chips in it.
tl/dr: It’s a re-branded 2-year-old midrange phone with a shell most people describe as piss-colored, a Trump wallpaper and Truth Social preinstalled.

Thanks, corrected it.
So it’s not made in America by Americans?
What a rip off I’m getting my deposits back.

It’s “assembled in America”, most likely just attached the case by Mexicans.
So… The media bought into another Trump trap.
Color me shocked at 6.
Sooo… billionaires that have always been complying in advance to Trump and fascism in the name of profits.
Honestly I’m surprised there’s even a device at all
