President Donald Trump’s family comрany, The Trump Organization, has licensed its brand for a new U.S. mobile service and smartphone called Trump Mobile, retailing at $499, another effort to monetize the Trump name.
The Trump family’s newest business venture, negotiated by President Donald Trump’s children, is set to introduce a gold-colored smartphone marketed as “built in the United States.” The device will run on the infrastructure of the three largest U.S. wireless providers. Alongside the phone, a mobile service plan will be offered at $47.45 per month—a nod to Trump’s tenure as both the 45th and 47th president.
“We are gоing to be introducing an entire package of products where people can come and they can get telemedicine on their phones for one flat monthly fee, roadside assistance on their cars, unlimited texting to 100 countriеs around the world,” Donald Trump Jr. stated.
While the manufacturer behind the new Trump-branded smartphone remains unnamed, the launch spotlights a broader challenge: the lack of large-scale smartphone production in the United States. Despite the presence of major American tech firms, domestic manufacturing has long been constrained by high labor costs, complex supply chains, and heavy dependence on components sourced from abroad.

In a recent interview on The Benny Show podcast, Eric Trump indicated that the smartphones “can” be manufactured in the United States, suggesting that production is not currently domestic. He emphasized, however, that customer service operations will be based in the U.S.
Some observers in the social media sphere have speculated that the launch of Trump Mobile may be linked to President Trump’s previous calls for Apple CEO Tim Cook to relocate iPhone manufacturing to the United States, warning at the time that failure to do so could result in a 25% tariff on imported devices.
“Trump is mad at Tim Cook and Apple fоr not destroying their company by moving everything to America,” vocal political commentator Brian Krassenstein wrote in a post on X. “He has decided to grift some more by selling phones via a new company, Trump Mobile, to his gullible followers,” he added.

As Trump-branded ventures continue to expand across industries—from smartphones to crypto ETFs—the lines between political power and private enterprise grow increasingly blurred. With each new launch, concerns deepen over how the president and his family may be leveraging their influence for financial gain, raising fresh questions about conflicts of interest in an already volatile election landscape.
