    The clearest signal yet that buyers may never see either a phone or their money came with a revised terms of service published on 6 April 2026. The updated document states explicitly that paying a deposit ‘does not constitute a completed purchase and does not create a binding legal contract.’ The payment is described as ‘a conditional opportunity to buy the device if Trump Mobile eventually chooses to sell it,’ with the company retaining all control over whether a phone is produced at all.

      That is absolutely fucking hilarious.

      I also don’t think contracts work that way, otherwise that shit would be WAY more common. heh. But I’m also pretty sure nobody will see a penny back anyway.

      I’d feel bad for them if they weren’t fucking in the middle of turning our nation into a fascist hellhole.

      I don’t agree. The clearest signaal that the buyers would be screwed was the Trump brand name. He’s grift incarnate.
