“I tried to pre-order the phone and pay the $100 downpayment,” Cox wrote in his opinion piece, “but the website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70.”
Despite being undercharged, Cox received a vague confirmation email from TrumpMobile.com stating he would receive an update when the phone shipped, despite never providing a shipping address or paying the full $499 price.
This is one thing that makes it just completely baffling to me that people think Trump is in any way trustworthy. He has done so many just outright scams and people both keep falling for them but also just ignoring them and pretending they don’t reflect on his broader character. Like how tf is half the country so stupid that they can see this guy running a new obvious scam every week and think he isn’t scamming them with other shit he’s saying?
