In June 2025, I placed a $100 pre-order for a new device colloquially known as the “Trump Phone.” It took over a year, but I finally got what is officially known as the Trump Mobile T1. I have been putting it through its paces ever since.
Let’s address the elephant in the room right away. It would be incredibly easy, and perhaps expected, to get deeply political in a hands-on review like this. The phone prominently bears the last name of the sitting President of the United States, a figure who has spent years being undeniably divisive both here in the States and on the global stage. The President and his sons (who own and operate Trump Mobile) also carry a well-documented history of business controversies.
