    I’m a bit confused but my understanding is they updated the TOS. The new terms say it is at the discretion of the president if he wants to offer the phone for sale or not

    Tots And Pears!

    Seriously, how fucking stupid did you have to be to even want one of these, never mind the fact that it’s associated with a total con man known for failing and not paying debts and scams?

    I don’t even know why PEDOnald is even bothering with such small fry like this. 47 million. Meh.

    Hasn’t he been running cryptocrimes to the tune of billions? This seems like a waste of time.

    But still, kind of hilarious to see how the redcaps are getting owned by their White Jesus.
