"The clearest signal yet that buyers may never see either a phone or their money came with a revised terms of service published on 6 April 2026. The updated document states explicitly that paying a deposit 'does not constitute a completed purchase and does not create a binding legal contract.' The payment is described as 'a conditional opportunity to buy the device if Trump Mobile eventually chooses to sell it,' with the company retaining all control over whether a phone is produced at all."

"may never see" does not equal "confirms they will never get" BUT, reality doesn't get clicks or smashing of any like buttons or subscribes or reposts or whatever passes for discussion these days.

Are these folks getting ripped off? No doubt. Are they fucking idiots for believing the rapist in chief? Certainly. I'm not sure that headline is what is actually happening. Matter of fact, this same website just as recently posted another article about the Trump phone thing that didn't mention the "never gonna get" the phone/money.

Seems clickbaity. YMMV.
