In a total 2026 plot twist, the Trump Mobile T1 smartphone is set to ship to customers (probably?), following a legion of delays. Originally announced in June 2025 by the U.S. president’s sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., the $499 golden phone was supposed to launch in September last year, but has been pushed back multiple times.
On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert ripped into the Trump Mobile flagship phone, which has finally arrived after nine months.
“The only Trump item more disappointing after a nine-month wait was Eric,” said Colbert.
“You know, I’ve said a lot of mean things about Eric over the years. As for the phone, let’s be clear, this thing sucks. When they announced the phone last year, the Trumps promised it would be ‘made in the USA’ but now that it’s here, brace yourself, it is no longer ‘made in the USA.’ The website now just says ‘designed with American values in mind’. That’s close enough, OK? It’s just like Arby’s’ slogan, ‘We have the meats…in mind.'”
