Trump organization has announced a mobile phone plant and a $499 smartphone they said will be made in the US. This
00:00:05
is not true. You cannot make a vote in the US, but they don't care if they lie about things like that. This is
00:00:10
ridiculous. The grift and the criminality and the monetization of the White House has become so outrageous. It
00:00:15
just doesn't feel strange. If Obama or Reagan or Carter had tried to launch a phone service, Fox News would have had
00:00:22
their just their hair on fire for 7 days straight. But because we now have a president who opens a Swiss banking
00:00:28
account, the Qatar or anyone else can say, "I'm putting $100 million in tonight at 12:03 a.m." and nobody knows.
00:00:34
Basically, the White House is now for sale. It's just insane that somebody who has the power of the purse, power of
00:00:40
laws, gets to decide the most important decisions globally that sets the tone for the rest of the world is selling a
00:00:46
[ __ ] phone. What could they sell next? I have no idea. I think erectile dysfunction drugs.
