Trump Mobile removed statements about manufacturing in the U.S. from their website
By ForGeeks
Trump Mobile has quietly removed claims from its website that the T1 smartphone is made in America. In place of specific statements about the place of manufacture, there’s now vague language about “proudly American design.”
Just 10 days after Trump Mobile’s wireless service and gold T1 smartphone were announced, the company changed the description of the device on its official website. Previously, the Trump Organization said the phone would be made in the U.S., but experts questioned the reality of such plans.

What’s changed on Trump Mobile’s website
According to reporters at The Verge, the T1 smartphone page on Trump Mobile’s website has been updated with no announcements. The phrase “proudly made in America” has disappeared from the product page. In its place was the description “American Proudly Designed.”
More significant changes have been made to the company’s other statement. The statement “proudly made right here in the USA” has been replaced with the vague “brought to life right here in the USA.” Trump Mobile now claims that “American hands” are behind every device.
The home page has also changed
Analogous edits have affected Trump Mobile’s homepage. Previously, it called for pre-ordering the T1 phone “MANUFACTURED IN THE USA” and listed a September delivery date. Now the mention of U.S. manufacturing has disappeared entirely, and information about delivery dates has been removed.
Experts’ doubts about the possibility of manufacturing smartphones in the U.S. turned out to be well-founded. The country lacks the infrastructure to manufacture critical components of mobile devices, making full-cycle production nearly impossible.
The story Trump Mobile removed US manufacturing claims from its website was first published on ITZine.ru.
