Where’s the Trump phone? We’re still waiting—despite our best hopes—and this time we’ve got new questions. Does Trump Mobile even know how many stripes are on the American flag?

The T1 Phone’s design is off, not just in its gold finish or uneven camera lens spacing, but in a glaring mistake: 11 stripes instead of 13. This detail is no small matter; those 13 stripes represent the original colonies fighting for independence. Trump Mobile seems to have forgotten—or intentionally changed—the count.

Adding to this confusion, promotional videos show nine or even fewer stripes. Generative AI could easily explain these inconsistencies, but something feels off. A scratch on a camera module in one shot vanishes by another; clearly, there’s more than meets the eye here.

We’ve reached out repeatedly, with no response from Trump Mobile. The company claims that phones are shipping, yet there’s zero evidence of this online or in our account. We’re left wondering if they know what they’re doing—or worse, if their tech is just too buggy to trust.
