Trump Family Launches Trump Mobile Phone Service Amid Ethics Concerns

The Trump family has launched a new business venture called Trump Mobile, a mobile phone service that includes a gold-accented smartphone named the T1 Phone and a single wireless plan called The 47 Plan. Eric Trump, who manages The Trump Organization, stated that the phones will be built in the U.S. and the service will operate a domestic call center, emphasizing the company's commitment to American-made products and consumer values. The 47 Plan offers unlimited talk, text, and data with throttling after 20GB, alongside additional benefits such as telemedicine and roadside assistance. This move comes amid ongoing ethical concerns about President Donald Trump profiting from his position, as it follows other international real estate deals and ventures announced during his presidency. The mobile service will be a white-label offering on Liberty Mobile's network, priced at $47.45 per month, which is notably higher than comparable low-cost carriers. Critics highlight the ethical questions surrounding the Trump brand's expansion, especially given the president's influence over regulatory bodies like the Federal Communications Commission.
