The Trump Mobile T1 Phone looks both bad and impossible

The site is taking $100 USD up-front to preorder this fictitious thing, but requires that you consent:

> By checking this box, you authorize Trumpmobile.com to charge your card on a recurring basis.

Recurring? No terms. No details. Just as shady and amateurish as you would expect.

> and you can reserve one now with a $100 down payment

This is such an obvious grift. How have the people still supporting him managed to sink so low? His approval rating is still nearly 45%. That's so bonkers, I don't understand.
