The Trump family, already involved in various businesses from real estate to cryptocurrency, is expanding into telecommunications with Trump Mobile. Announced by Donald Trump Jr., the venture introduces a new smartphone and a wireless plan.
Eric Trump will lead the company, aiming to serve customers who feel underserved by existing telecom providers and promising “true value” to American consumers. Trump Mobile operates as a white-label service, reselling wireless plans through Liberty Mobile, a low-cost mobile virtual network operator (MVNO).
Products and Pricing
The wireless offering, called “The 47 Plan” — likely a nod to Donald Trump as the 47th U.S. president — provides unlimited data with speeds throttled after 20GB and costs $47.45 per month. Alongside the plan, Trump Mobile will release the “T1,” a smartphone made in America.
Beyond telecommunications, the Trump family has pursued technology projects following the President’s removal from major social platforms. Starting with a blog site, they evolved to launch Truth Social, a social media platform with features including live TV streaming.
In the cryptocurrency space, they created World Liberty Financial, a decentralized currency platform that has partnered with notable figures such as Justin Sun.
Author’s Opinion
Trump Mobile’s entry into the telecom sector seeks to appeal to a specific group feeling underserved by traditional providers. By combining political branding with a straightforward, affordable plan and a made-in-America phone, it taps into a loyal base. Success, however, will depend on how well the service performs in a competitive landscape where quality and price matter most. The venture might carve out a niche, but lasting impact requires more than just a familiar name.
