The Trump Group announces the launch of the 'Made in America' Trump phone, offering unlimited texting, roadside assistance, and other unique services. This product plans to use a localized supply chain and apply for the 'Trump' and 'T1' trademarks, aiming to enter the technology field through a hardware + service combination.

Analysis by Qin Ge

Strategic Essence: Responding to the Trump administration's 25% import tariff policy on mobile phones with a 'tariff shelter', while leveraging the 'Made in America' label to generate momentum for the election; Real Dilemma: The U.S. self-sufficiency rate for components is less than 5%, and forced localization could lead to a 40% increase in costs (according to Apple's estimates). If the selling price exceeds $1200, it will struggle against Apple/Samsung; Political Risk: Product malfunctions or privacy issues will directly impact Trump's political image, and previous poor sales of derivative products like bottled water/clothing indicate questionable market acceptance; Key to Success or Failure: Need to obtain federal subsidies to reduce costs and convert over 3 million core fans (2.5% of his 120 million fans) to break even, otherwise it risks repeating the failure of hardware.
