So it’ll be some shit phone that you could find at Walmart for 50 bucks, covered in gold plastic, and the chumps will say they bought it to support him.

I bet 100 Trump coin it'll no longer promise it ever gets made, at all, at some point. It's too costly to go past the vaporware stage. Maybe they'll do a kickstarter style thing to milk the rubes, but that'll be the end of it.

A Nokia candybar with one of those mall kiosk faceplates, Krylon Gold spraypaint the whole thing.

Somehow this feels reminiscent of the Escobar phone. https://www.pcmag.com/news/please-stop-buying-the-foldable-p...
