    It’s going to be a cheap low-priority MVNO with deceptive wording to make it sound like its own independent network. Absolutely zero chance it’ll be competitive in any way.

    The picture I saw of it looks 100% like the standard practice of rebranding a terrible iPhone-like android device that could only be manufactured in China. Just take a look at “luxury” phones of the early 2020s. Absolutely 100% a scam by idiots for idiots.

    He’s just dangling it out there so one of the competitors buys his “business”. He doesn’t actually want to make anything. It’s another grift in disguise.

    We’ve had former presidents sell their family peanut farms to avoid conflicts of interest

    The carters felt that relinquishing the business to someone else’s care would separate them from these affairs and avoid the possibility of their financial holdings resembling any conflict of interest while President Carter was in office.

      First term Trump divested of most of his businesses, so this is even a departure for him

    I guess it’s OK as long as it’s not a peanut farm brand.

    Compete with but will lease their service because there is no actual competition with a barrier to entry like national cell towers.

    They already tried that with the ‘Freedom phone’ and it was a massive scam, so this is quite on brand for him.
