"A Phone So Sh*tty You Won't Want To Use It": The Internet Is Clowning Donald Trump So Hard For His Bizarre Comments

Following The Launch Of "Trump Mobile"

President Donald Trump faced ridicule on Tuesday as critics suggested he’d delivered the perfect anti-advertisement for the newly launched Trump-branded smartphone.


Just hours after the Trump Organization unveiled its latest venture — “Trump Mobile” — the president said he doesn’t “believe in telephones.” Trump made the comment while explaining to reporters on Air Force One why he cut short his attendance at the G7 summit in Canada.

Trump said he left the gathering of world leaders early to return to Washington, D.C., so that he could address rising tensions between Israel and Iran.




Critics highlighted the irony, noting how Trump’s dismissal of telephones clashed with the announcement of the phone company.

It’s always Trump hinted, or teased, or indicated, I guess they just don’t want to repeat what he said, because it doesn’t make sense
