Maybe the comparison with the REVVL phone is based on the stated specs rather than the obviously fake photo?

Aisle 23 at Home Depot, I think.

I don't see where he admits what the headline claims.

I don't see where in the article he "admits" what the headline claims.

The point is not that there's anything inherently wrong with a Chinese phone, but that they're lying by saying it's designed and manufactured in the USA. It is neither.

Flight-tracking websites showed dozens of Air Force aerial refueling planes departing from military bases in the United States and heading to Europe on Sunday, fueling speculation of direct U.S. involvement in the widening Israeli-Iranian war.

Military-focused news sites reported that around 30 U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A tankers were identified by flight-tracking software in what The Times of Israelcalled an "unprecedented mass deployment" to Europe.

Yes, I wouldn't assume the picture has anything to do with the phone (if any) people will actually receive.

He ripped off the font, and some are saying it's a slightly tweaked REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which is a midrange Chinese phone T-Mobile already sells for $170 with a T on the back. Trump's T is a bit bigger. Would be fun to see T-Mobile take legal action...

Yep, apparently it's a cosmetically tweaked Wingtech REVVL 7 Pro 5G, which goes for $170 under the T-Mobile brand on Amazon.

Eric Trump admitted it was going to be made in China, so the press release's description, "designed and built in the United States," is just a lie, or actually two lies.
