Scratch that. 600,000 people ordered the Trump phone, put $100 deposit down on it, and never got it. So where's the $60 million Donnie? It's been reported that nearly 600,000 people forked over $100 as a deposit for the phone, to the tune of almost $60 million. Why did it take so long to push what looks to be a middling Android phone out the door?
A spokesperson for Trump Mobile, a carrier founded by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, didn't get into the why of it all but did say that the"delays were worth it in our minds as we are delivering an amazing product.

The average price for this exact model via other retailers sits at around $300 to $350. Trump Mobile was"going to change the game" and that the phone"will deliver the highest levels of quality.
