Donald Trump appears to be eyeing entry into the competitive mobile industry, spurred by the success of his non-real estate ventures. This is not a belated April Fools’ joke or a skit; rather, it seems he is genuinely exploring the market. While there are no official updates from Trump himself, there’s speculation around potential products such as a “Trump Phone” aimed at rivaling Apple’s offerings and a “T1” wireless carrier competing against Verizon.
Recent filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) by DTTM Operations LLC, a company that has managed Trump’s trademarks for over thirty years, suggest he intends to launch products associated with mobile technology. These trademarks cover mobile phones, phone cases, battery chargers, retail outlets, and wireless services. The application’s “intent-to-use” basis indicates that there are plans for these brands to be utilized soon.
Critics may dismiss the seriousness of Trump’s plans, given his history of shifting priorities. Yet, it’s plausible that we could soon see Trump-branded mobile products in stores, alongside a new wireless carrier. It’s also worth noting the potential challenges these ventures may face, especially given Trump’s ongoing threats of high tariffs against the mobile industry.
