Trump's gold MAGA phone FINALLY ships to customers
… but mystery surrounds bold 'made in USA' claim
Trump Mobile's gold MAGA phone is finally shipping to customers after months of delays, disappearing 'Made in America' claims and and claims from critics that the bargain handset looked like a cheap Chinese-made device in disguise.
Trump Mobile said this week that its $499 T1 Phone had 'arrived' and that around 590,000 customers who paid $100 deposits would receive update emails as orders began shipping.
'Phones that were pre-ordered are starting to be delivered to customers this week,' Trump Mobile CEO Pat O'Brien said, adding that the delay was caused by quality checks and the complicated process of bringing a phone to market.
But the announcement only came after renewed scrutiny over the terms and conditions on Trump Mobile's website, which were quietly updated last month to state that placing a deposit 'does not guarantee' a device will ever be produced or made available for purchase.
Instead, the company said the deposits - reportedly totaling $59 million - merely represented a 'conditional opportunity' to purchase a phone if Trump Mobile ultimately decided to sell one.
The company had originally planned to launch the device last August.
Nearly 10 months later, it announced this week that the phones would begin shipping - though observers quickly noticed the company had disabled comments beneath the post.
The move may have been aimed at limiting mounting backlash over months of silence surrounding the rollout.
Trump Mobile has rejected concerns over the rollout, saying demand has been 'incredibly high' and that orders are being fulfilled as quickly as possible over the next several weeks.
The phone was first promoted with patriotic branding and claims around US manufacturing, but the company later shifted to vaguer language, saying the device was 'designed with American values in mind.'
That change came after analysts questioned whether a $499 smartphone could realistically be manufactured in the US, with the device's specifications drawing comparisons to cheaper Android handsets already on the market.
It's unclear which parts of the phone will be made in the United States.
The phone is part of Trump Mobile, a venture launched last year by the Trump Organization under a trademark licensing arrangement and promoted by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
Its monthly 5G plan costs $47.45, an apparent nod to Donald Trump serving as the 45th and 47th president.

Texas Children’s Hospital to Open First-Ever Detransition Clinic Under Deal With DOJ
The Justice Department said the hospital has taken ‘significant steps’ in cooperation with the agency.
Texas Children’s Hospital has been compelled to create the nation’s first “detransition clinic,” as part of an agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Texas Attorney General’s office.
The May 15 agreement, which also includes a promise to pay more than $10 million in damages and civil penalties, came as part of a resolution of a federal investigation into the hospital’s “gender affirming care.”
“The Justice Department will use every weapon at its disposal to end the destructive and discredited practice of so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ for children,” said acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
“Today’s resolution protects vulnerable children, holds providers accountable, and ensures those harmed receive the care they need.”
According to the DOJ, the agreement includes millions allocated to resolve the allegations that it submitted false billings to secure insurance coverage for “pediatric sex-rejecting procedures.”
The DOJ, however, reported that the hospital deserves credit for taking “significant steps” in cooperation with the agency.
“At all times during the investigation, TCH remained cooperative, proactive, and solution-driven, as highlighted by its multi-million-dollar commitment to providing care to the victims who most need it,” the department said.
The hospital addressed the deal, noting its position that the case has been plagued by “falsehoods and distractions.”
“Today, we made the difficult decision to settle with the Texas Attorney General and the Department of Justice, closing a chapter that has been wrought with falsehoods and distractions,” Texas Children’s Hospital said in a May 15 press release.
“To be clear—we are settling to protect our resources from endless and costly litigation. This settlement will allow us to redirect those precious resources to focus on the life-saving care and groundbreaking discoveries of our exceptional clinicians and scientists.”
The hospital said in its statement that it produced more than 5 million documents as part of the investigation and conducted internal and external investigations during the process.
The investigation was led by the Justice Department’s Civil Division Enforcement and Affirmative Litigation Branch. According to Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward, the agreement furthers the DOJ’s commitment to “protecting America’s children.”
Shumate said the department will continue its efforts to “vigorously enforce federal law where children are put at risk.”
According to Texas Children’s Hospital, “All reviews and investigations continue to support the facts—we have been compliant with all laws. … We stand proud knowing we will always put our purpose over politics and that we have and will continue to follow the law.”
The agreement was reached between the hospital and DOJ just days after a federal judge blocked prosecutors from forcing a Rhode Island hospital to turn over records related to gender treatments for minors who identify as transgender.
In her denial, U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy said the DOJ request for “intimate medical details from one of this country’s most vulnerable populations constitutes a drastic overreach of its investigative authority.”

>Moving data at the speed of light
Dr. Pat Soon-Shiong
So here we go …the year of the fire horse and reveal of 15 years of exciting execution of ..”imagine if ….”
Over the next few months I will reveal the breakthrough technologies we have been developing in stealth mode at NANTWORKS ( over a dozen privately funded companies with over a billion dollars ) that may impact how we live, work and play. Some will involve healthcare, some climate change and others deep AI. Many will act synergistically with each company in helping us address life threatening and chronic diseases such as cancer, sepsis, auto immune diseases, diabetes. Deconstructing and activating every component of the immune system. The time has come in the year of the fire horse to unveil! Stay tuned.
Today it was NantPhotonics to move data at the speed of light and drive AI for un-imaginable discovery at light speed.
Imagine if we re-considered how Antibodies work and used AI to target every expressed and even intra cellular protein ? Then allow NK and T cells do their work? Stay tuned

Exactly! That’s why I have to do this slowly and connect the dots over the course of the next months. At the end of the day all roads lead to the immune system and to NK and Dendritic cells. Patience and it will become clearer.

You gotta understand how the fraud operates:
The people running the fake daycares, the fake home healthcare centers, the people gaming millions in fake loans from SBA…
…THEY DON'T KEEP ALL THE MONEY THEY STOLE.
They don't keep it ALL.
They take their CUT OF IT.
They only keep a PART of it.
Understand?
All of the stolen money does not STAY with them.
They kick a big CHUNK of it BACK to the people who were giving it to them.
You must not miss, skip over, or fail to see that part.
It's not some crook out there by their lonesome, gaming the system and stealing a couple million and laughing all the way to the bank while they KEEP IT ALL FOR THEMSELVES.
My God, are you REALLY missing the big picture if that's what you think has been going on.
This is ORGANIZED CRIME involving the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT - until just last year.
Before Trump came back, and he and his team did a VERY VERY VERY VERY HOSTILE TAKEOVER of that ORGANIZED CRIME FRONT cleverly disguised as the United States Executive Branch and it's federal agencies, government GANGSTERS in those money laundering fronts disguised as HHS, Treasury, Transportation, State Dept., etc. were funneling out HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR to their FRAUD BUSINESS PARTNERS in the US states like Maine, MN, OH, PA, CA, etc.
Trump and his team are exposing the fraud and rolling it up so fast because they now have enough control of ONE END OF THE FRAUD PIPELINE. The FEDERAL end.
The STATE-level government people and the PRIVATE fraud LLCs and businesses are stuck. They can't stop this. They refuse to cooperate, as the Maine gov't did, and it literally doesn't matter. The money gets CUT OFF.
I've been telling you since June of last year what the REAL STORY is of Trump's new term: one by one by one he is CUTTING OFF THE REVENUE STREAMS that Organized Crime Nations needs to continue to operate.
Think of Organized Crime Nation as having over 24 separate and distinct affiliates running 24 US states/major cities.
The California affiliate, with subsidiaries in LA, San Francisco, etc. The Illinois affiliate with a subsidiary in Chicago. The MN affiliate, with subsidiaries in Minneapolis & St. Paul.
Up until LAST YEAR, the Government Gangsters embedded in the US Executive Branch's federal agencies were FEEDING these state crime affiliates BILLIONS OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS. Every year. Like clockwork.
UNTIL NOW.
Now all those yearly billions to their states are being CUT OFF. These criminal networks cannot survive without YOUR MONEY.
When the money gets CUT OFF, the fraud network starts to collapse. And it's not just the fraud businesses at one end that start to die.
The fake daycares? No money. Fake home health? No money coming in. Fake SBA loans? Cut off.
The other end of the fraud pipeline starting to die. And who was BEYOND that other end of the fraud pipeline?
THE GOVERNMENT GANGSTERS WERE.
ALL THE GOVERNMENT GANGSTERS that were getting a significant CHUNK of that fraud money kicked BACK to themselves? THEY'RE NOT GETTING THAT MONEY ANY LONGER.
A shit-ton of political activity in this country was actually being paid for through a fraud shell game involving billions of YOUR stolen tax dollars every year.
Trump knew from the start how to kill The Hydra.
YOU STARVE IT. You starve it and you weaken it to the point it can't fight you off any more and then you move in and cut off all 9 of the heads at once.
The Maine crime affiliate, they NEEDED their cut of that $93 million they got in kickbacks to run their shit.
Now they're not going to have it.
The MN crime affiliate, they NEEDED their cut of the $9 billion in fraud to run their shit.
Now they're not going to be getting it.
And California? Ha ha…well…California…they NEEDED their cut of the $20 billion or whatever it ends up turning out to be there, to run their shit.
And Trump's not gonna let them have it.
Trump literally DOES hold all the cards.
This is the year Organized Crime Nation dies.
Of starvation.
And that's a beautiful thing…
