So technically, in this specific instance, Trump Mobile isn't run by Donald Trump. It's instead a separate company run by Don Jr and Eric Trump. That company is then licensing the "Trump" name from The Trump Organization.

Now The Trump Organization is owned by Donald Trump, although officially run by Don Jr, Eric, etc.

But you're absolutely right that all of this is bullshit. It's also why Trump is so pissed at New York AG Letitia James for investigating and uncovering all sorts of shady business practices.

You're absolutely right that Congress should be doing something about it.

What's next?

• Trumpla, the EV manufacturer?
• Trumpmart, selling nearly-rotten food at marked-up prices.
• ~~Trump Burder~~ this one already exists.
• Trumple Inc, consumer phone dropshipper.
• Trumpazon, a marketplace where he takes a cut on all sales.
• Trump Sauna, a PC games storefront.

I just can't get over him selling beans in the oval office. it's so absurd

That's because I'm the aggregate they are all the same. Regardless of party most are corrupt and get along just fine behind close doors.

I mean, Pelosi made over $100 million on the stock market via inside trading, a number of GOP do the same, maybe not well as her, but they do it, too.

Because his deadline was today and his sim hadn't arrived. "Waiting an extra day" is not an option.

Remember when you guys had Carter and he was in hot shit until he sold his fucking peanut farm or whatever?

Let's be clear about this: Carter was never "in hot shit" about his farm. Carter put his farm in a blind trust proactively because he respected the emoluments clause and interpreted it broadly.

It's like a reverse emoluments clause

Another day, another grift for that family.

Because they're a journalist exposing a scam with POTUS's name on it.

It’s not even him. It’s just another scam company licensing the name to scam a few bucks outta some suckers.

They’ll be long gone by the time anyone that gives a shit gets back in control of the FCC to hold them accountable

You are overestimating the intelligence of the American populous.

Remember that those MAGA dumbasses aren't just wasting money. They're adding more power to Trump. Fucker went bankrupt six times and finally found the holy grail of scams: be the senile puppet boy of the rich corpos. I always thought W was a puppet, but he seems to have at least drawn a line at full blown tyranny. We need to convince these people to buy stupid shit again... beanie babies 2.0?

And it's more expensive than the most expensive US mobile plan, which would have faster speeds, whereas Trump Mobile's drops off after a certain (lower than T-Mobile's own plans) amount of GB data usage since they're solely using T-Mobile as an MVNO, and also has deprioritized data speeds during periods of network congestion.

It would also get you the ability to switch underlying network providers if you're in a dead zone, international calling and data in more locations, better customer support given all the experiences we've seen from reviewers, and unlimited hotspot data, plus better bundle deals for families or people with smart watches that need separate data.

Hell, even T-Mobile's own own plans, which are usually substantially more expensive than other companies they solely act as an MVNO for, like Mint Mobile, (which is actually owned by T-Mobile now) which will get you the same value as T-Mobile's $50/mo plan in a $30/mo plan that is just $15/mo for new users for up to a 12 month period.

Trump Mobile is just $2.55 cheaper than T-Mobile's $50 plan.

I think only mentaly poor people vote for him. He promises taking away their health care and does it, yet they still support him.

How can they? They haven't even sent the spying device yet.

Yeah it's a regular phone.

But the government is tracking everyone's phones through purchase of data from private enterprises.
