Nine months later, Trump’s phone is still missing

It’s been over a month since two Trump Mobile executives showed me what they claimed was a T1 phone, and since then, there’s been nothing. No news, no ads, no phone. The company has gone back to ignoring my emails.

when I spoke to Don Hendrickson and Eric Thomas In early February, I was told that within the “next two weeks” it would be done Trump Mobile website It will be updated with a full spec sheet and images of the updated version of the phone that was shown to me via video call. That was six weeks ago, and the site hasn’t changed a bit.

The pair also told me that by mid-March, they expect the device to have received T-Mobile certification, the final hurdle before it officially goes on sale and starts shipping to buyers. It’s late March now, so I emailed Hendrickson and Thomas to ask if this certification had been completed, and received no response. I also emailed T-Mobile, which declined to comment.

Trump Mobile executives hadn’t committed to a March release date when we spoke, so perhaps this isn’t quite as egregious as when the T1 missed the mark. August, Septemberand December 2025 divorce. However, it has now been more than nine months Since the phone was announcedand in that time we’ve seen a bad demo, two different spec sheets, and a blurry glimpse of Google Meet.

If Trump’s phone is real, it should arrive soon. I’m still not convinced that will happen, but as someone who’s been dying to review it, I want to believe it is.
