Claim 2: “It's been almost a year since the made-in-America Trump Mobile T1 smartphone for true patriots was announced.”
DISPUTED
The claim states the phone was announced 'almost a year ago'. However, Wikipedia evidence states Trump Mobile was founded on June 16, 2025, and other search results indicate shipping in August/September 2025. This suggests the announcement happened much more recently than a year ago, contradicting the 'almost a year' timeline.
