... and the American flag design on the back of the handset appears to have 11 stripes instead of 13.

OMG, ROFL!

The 51st state announcements, just BS for the MAGA Evangelicals looking for another Jonestown.
Trump thinks so little of his followers that he expects this to boost his popularity, and he is right.

Tho.
MAGA could never invite so many South Americans to vote in their elections, travel freely etc.
They are thinking 'Vacant Possession'.
A few servants and such with no rights.

Old Testament wholesale slaughter of incumbents to create a vacant new promised land?
God was down with it then why not now?

Jesus thing just a woke aberration.

Washington Examiner - Trump and his sons ‘forever’ exempt from tax audits under IRS addendum

May 19, 2026

The Department of Justice released a settlement addendum Tuesday permanently barring the IRS from auditing the past tax returns of President Donald Trump and his adult sons, just one day after the administration unveiled a $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” geared toward alleged victims of government abuse.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed the one-page order, which states the IRS “releases, waives, acquits” any pending claims against Trump, his family, or the Trump Organization and is “forever barred and precluded” from pursuing claims tied to tax returns filed before Monday’s settlement agreement. ...

A DOJ spokesperson defended the agreement Tuesday, saying the waiver language was standard settlement practice.

“As is customary in settlements, both sides have executed waivers of a variety of claims that were or could have been brought,” the spokesperson said. “This is only with respect to existing audits, not future.”

It's official - Donald Trump is above the law. 😒

"Yes" to all of this:

Also: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/595621/trump-administration-creates-1-point-776-billion-fund-for-allies-of-the-president-after-he-drops-lawsuit-against-irs

The above is satire, but I bet you that is exactly what this stupid slush fund is for 😠

Edit, there may be hope yet: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/20/jan-6-police-sue-trump-anti-weaponization-fund 🤞

Two police officers who clashed with rioters at the US Capitol during the January 6 insurrection in 2021 have sued Donald Trump over plans to create a $1.776bn “anti-weaponization” fund.

The fund, which critics have argued is essentially a slush fund, is set to compensate allies of the US president who he claims were victims of prosecutorial overreach.

The target audience for this phone is crusty old retirees with more money than sense.

You know, the same kind that incorrectly believe the U.S. Flag code says an American flag touching the ground means it should be torched. See Snopes.

And Trump phone get the number of stripes wrong???

This is the country which formally named the blue square on the flag, named the "union" or "Old Glory Blue")

Maybe they should add an "*" in the 50 stars, in the "Old Glory Blue", on the chance Trump succeeds in turning any number of previously sovereign allies into states by "hook or crook": fair or unfair, legal or illegal, honest or dishonest.

So much for a brand is explicitly selling a hyper-patriotic identity.

Maybe don't have AI create the art, because in China they don't know about the whole "13 stripes on an American flag" thing

The 13 stripes is a look to future where only Trump/GOP states will have voting rights.
Don't change the phone change USA.

California and other 'disloyal' states will be stripped of voting rights.

Cementing a structure where 51st states can be added without diluting vote.

Trump makes a statement that Iran deal is almost there just before sharemarket open and...
No indication there is any reality behind this. Unless Trump is planning to capitulate.
Iran IRGC thinking they won, tunnels proven, and talking about tolling the fibre links going through Hormuz as well.

Trump family, goons and techbros winning, stealing the future of generations.

Meanwhile Antichrist hunter Peter Thiel looks in all the wrong places.

I think the best word for this is "corruption":

https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/im-not-greedy-january-6-rioters-trump-allies-eye-18-billion-weaponization-fund-2026-05-20/

Enrique Tarrio, the Proud Boys leader sentenced ‌to 22 years for seditious conspiracy over the January 6, 2021 riot, said he planned to apply to the fund, assuming he could get between $2 and $5 million.

To be honest the whole Trump phone thing is a raging success in one way.

I had no idea that there were 13 stripes on a US flag. I also didn’t know why.

Now I understand both points. Because Trump phone.

The Trumps started that long before Don Jr managed to figure out crypto would be best and finally succeeded in explaining it all to the big daddy. That took a while. In the beginning Don Jr was talking too fast for some reason..

I suggest this is the model for Trump's DC

So Albert Speer Trumps favorite architect, to go with his Mr H speeches he keeps by the bedside.

The Trump Hokey Kokey.

You pull the troops out so you can show MAGA you are a StrongMan punishing your ally.
Then you put the troops back before major meeting to say you are nice guy.

Then you can double up on MAGA virtue by pulling them out again later. :-)

Trump pledges an additional 5,000 troops for Poland in apparent u-turn
The US president’s announcement comes a day before Nato foreign ministers are due to meet, with Marco Rubio criticising the alliance’s failure to help with Iran
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/22/trump-5000-troops-poland-military-support

""
Announcing the additional troops, Trump pointedly praised his relationship with Poland’s conservative president, Karol Nawrocki, who unexpectedly won the last year’s presidential election after being hosted by Trump at the White House in the final weeks of the campaign. The pair has had a close relationship ever since, with Trump regularly referencing the importance of his endorsement for Nawrocki’s election.
""

Yeh its just to bolster the global MAGA project and swing Poland to become the next Hungary?
Paving the way for a future Polish version of Orban for Putin.

Seems unlikely but Trump is not the best at strategy.
