In a bold and unexpected entry into the US telecom arena, President Donald Trump's family has officially introduced “Trump Mobile,” a brand-new mobile service and smartphone line. Infused with the president’s branding, this venture represents a striking new chapter in the family's entrepreneurial journey, diving headfirst into the fiercely competitive world of mobile connectivity. The President's family unveiled the Trump Mobile at the iconic Trump Tower in New York City.

Branded Devices & Political Price

Trump Mobile's offering includes a $499 smartphone and a monthly subscription service that stands out not just for its features but also for its symbolism. The subscription is priced at exactly $47.45—a deliberate nod to Donald Trump’s numerical place in presidential history as the 45th and the 47th President of the United States.

Services Beyond the Usual

Donald Trump Jr., speaking at the launch, emphasised that the service is more than just a mobile plan. “We are going to be introducing an entire package of products,” he said, outlining bundled offerings such as global texting, and roadside assistance—all wrapped under one subscription fee.

Gold-Coloured Phones with American Flair

Adding to the brand’s flair is a gold-coloured smartphone, described as “sleek” and “designed and built in the United States.” However, Eric Trump has admitted that while future production may shift stateside, the initial batch of devices may be manufactured abroad.

Reality Check on ‘Made in USA’ Claims

Smartphone manufacturing in the United States is exceedingly rare due to higher labour costs and a complex, globally dependent supply chain. Currently, only one company—California-based Purism—makes smartphones entirely within the US, with prices nearing $2,000. Most devices sold domestically are produced in manufacturing hubs like China, India, South Korea, or Vietnam.

Whether it will find success in a saturated telecom market remains to be seen—but if nothing else, it has already captured international attention.
