Jimmy Kimmel spends 3 minutes ripping Trumps T1 smartphone to shreds

Donald Trump's newly announced Trump Mobile network and T1 smartphone have been roundly mocked by Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert, and in the video above Jimmy Kimmel joins in.

"Their website was a mess from the get-go. When they launched yesterday their coverage map said Gulf of Mexico instead of Gulf of America, so he had them take that down, there have been reports that it is difficult to even order the phone, and even though they're billing the phones as all-American and made in the USA, the phone appears to be a reskinned version of a Chinese phone made by a company called Wingtech," says Kimmel in his Tuesday night monologue.

"Wingtech sells the same phone on Amazon for $171 right now. But once it gets spray-painted gold and emblazoned with the word Trump, it's $500. He's selling an all-American Chinese phone. I wonder if he'll slap some tariffs on himself for this."

To emphasise how ridiculous this whole thing is, Kimmel ends with a simple comparison. "I just want you to imagine Barack Obama, while he was in office, selling something like this," he says. "You think Fox News would be excited about that?"
