Trump's Mobile Phone: Controversy, Reality, and the Political Economy of Traffic Monetization???
On June 16, 2025, U.S. President Trump officially announced the launch of his mobile communication brand Trump Mobile, simultaneously unveiling its first smartphone, the T1, along with the accompanying "The 47 Plan" communication package. In the announcement, Trump boldly declared, "Trump Mobile will use 'Made in America' phones and services," emphasizing that the package will provide services such as roadside assistance and unlimited texting. The emergence of the T1 smartphone has sparked a wave of public opinion.
In fact, this is not Trump's first foray into merchandise sales. Previously, he opened a "Trump Store" on Amazon, selling items such as red baseball caps, T-shirts, and mugs, which performed well in sales. This led to netizens joking that his "main job is selling goods, while his side job is being president." The launch of the smartphone seems more like a new station in his "traffic monetization" business system.
The release of this T1 phone coincides with the tenth anniversary of Trump's announcement of his first presidential campaign, and its political symbolism is self-evident. This is not just a product launch, but a self-coronation ceremony for the "brand president."
