Reject Trump Mobile!
The Trump Organization, Donald Trump’s massive conglomerate, is launching Trump Mobile with a gold-colored, MAGA-branded smartphone and mobile plan that will operate on major cellular networks despite clear conflicts of interest and data security concerns.
Trump has spent years capitalizing on his political status by slapping his name on merch—and despite serious ethics concerns about the president's licensing his name, there have yet to be any real investigations of potential conflicts of interest.
Trump is using the presidency to enrich himself, and it’s past time for major corporations to take a stand. Tell AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon to reject Trump Mobile’s unethical cash grab.
Why is this important?
Trump Mobile is just the latest example of the Trump family's using the office of the president of the United States to sell products, from perfume to sneakers. Experts at leading organizations like Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics warn that without real insights into who is funding these many businesses—it’s impossible to know what entities might be trading political favors for investments.
And the lack of clarity doesn’t end there. The Trump Organization’s release says the smartphone will cost only $499 and be made in the United States, despite the fact that there is essentially no manufacturing system in the U.S. that could fully produce a smartphone at that cost.
Eric Trump has since walked back this claim in interviewss, but The Trump Organization has yet to clarify for buyers that the phones are in fact not USA made.
Meanwhile, there are serious potential implications when it comes to surveillance and data privacy. The current policy would allow The Trump Organization to collect data from web searches, browsing, geolocation, and even text and email content.
Major companies like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon can refuse to work with The Trump Organization and prevent potential ethics violations on their watch. Tell them to reject Trump Mobile NOW.
