When it was announced it was lauded as “MADE IN THE USA”. Yes, it was all caps in both the announcement and in the accompanying promotional literature and website.

That has changed. Now it’s “Designed with American values in mind.”

I think that’s different, no?

The T1’s new tagline is “Premium Performance. Proudly American.” Its website says the device is “designed with American values in mind” and there are “American hands behind every device. Under Key Features, the first thing listed is ”American-Proud Design.“ None of this indicates, well, anything. It certainly doesn’t say the device is made in the USA, or even designed in the USA. There are just… some hands. In America.

Would those hands be Trump's hands in the pockets of every sucker who buys one?

I wonder what the EULA reads like on these.

Now it’s “Designed with American values in mind.”

Based on the current administration's "values", that can ONLY mean they intend to sell a crap items at a high price with a "30/30 warranty". What does THAT mean? The phone MIGHT work for 30 seconds--or 30 ft--which comes first--AFTER they get your money. After that, you are ON YOUR OWN.

When WE made stuff, it said "Made in USA" on it--because it was.

Now, it means "MAGA got swindled--AGAIN--by Impotus Spankee McBoingBoing Bonespurs".

They wanted it. They got it. Ripped off yet again.
