In a move that should surprise no one, the Trump Mobile T1 phone will likely not be "Made in the USA" as had been originally claimed. Announced as part of the Trump Organization's newly launched wireless service, the T1 had been touted as an example of the Trump administration's push to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., but that apparently won't apply to this device.
Instead, the Trump Mobile website has changed the language around the phone, with the T1 now lasted as featuring an "American Proud Design."
Of course, that may be where the T1 phone originates from. A CNN report after the phone was launched noted the difficulty in building phones in the U.S. — there's not the assembly facilities here to make smartphones on a large scale. Instead, the report claimed, the T1 was most likely coming from a Chinese original device manufacturer.
At any rate, the Trump Mobile website has backed off the "Made in the USA" claims that originally appeared. "It’s brought to life right here in the USA," the website now reads. "With American hands behind every device, we bring care, precision, and trusted quality to every detail."
