tl/dr: It's a re-branded 2-year-old midrange Samsung with a shell most people describe as piss-colored, a Trump wallpaper and Truth Social preinstalled.
And still only available to media representatives.

Pretty much exactly what any sane person expected.

Edit: Also, the American flag on it only has 11 stripes.

Reminds me of a scam by the son(?) of Pablo Escobar a while back where they sold the ""Escobar"" Fold (which was obviously just a Samsung Galaxy Fold 1) for $200 or something ridiculously low like that.

Of course it sold out within minutes but the only ones that ever received their phones were influencers.

Edit: Actually looks like it's an HTC

I think they tried to make their own crypto currency

So... The media bought into another Trump trap.

Color me shocked at 6.
