On Monday morning, the Trump Organization announced intentions to launch a Trump-branded smartphone and wireless service by September. A press release showcased the new offering as a “transformational, new cellular service,” providing exceptional connectivity, unmatched value, and all-American support. Trump Mobile also introduced the T1 Phone, a gold-hued, American-crafted smartphone featuring an American flag motif, retailing at $499. The 47 plan, the flagship mobile plan of the company, provides unlimited talk, text, and data for $47.45 each month.

Following the enactment of his “Liberation Day” tariffs, President Donald Trump has encouraged Apple CEO Tim Cook to produce iPhones domestically. Reports indicate that a made-in-America iPhone could reach up to $3,000, with Apple needing to commit billions to create the required infrastructure in the U.S. Trump has criticized Cook on Truth Social, warning of a 25 percent tariff on iPhones and other mobile devices.

Donald Trump Jr., EVP of The Trump Organization, expressed that Trump Mobile aspires to revolutionize the sector by focusing on American values and providing high-quality service. This announcement aligns with the 10th anniversary of President Trump’s initial presidential campaign launch.

Traditionally, U.S. presidents have steered clear of business ventures while in office to avoid conflicts of interest, as articulated in the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Former President Jimmy Carter placed his peanut farm into a blind trust during his presidency to mitigate conflicts. The Emoluments Clause depends on the honor system, with the Trump Administration providing a fresh interpretation.

The Trump Organization assures a U.S.-based customer service team available around the clock to support customers migrating to Trump Mobile. The plan includes various perks, such as:

– 24/7 roadside assistance through Drive America
– Telehealth medical services
– Free international calling to over 100 nations
– “No contracts, no credit check”
