'Trump's latest golden gimmick has finally been exposed - the grift goes on'
The crooked Trump Organisation's latest golden gimmick, the T1 smartphone - billed as a proudly American alternative to Apple's iPhone 17 - isn't quite as stars-and-stripes as advertised.
Marketed under the new "Trump Mobile" brand, the gold-plated handset is due to ship in August and proudly claims to be 'Made in the USA.'
But eagle-eyed social media sleuths have already called foul, uncovering that the T1 is actually a Chinese-made Android device in a MAGA makeover… and being flogged for three times its price on Amazon.
The Trump Mobile network itself has been dubbed an "All-American service," though critics suggest the only thing truly domestic about it is the markup. The Trump grift goes on.
A wannabe photographer learned the hard way that breaking into a prison can land you right where you'd expect - behind bars. Cody Mallon, 19, from Argyle, New York, fancied himself a bit of an urban explorer when he crawled through a hole in the fence of the shuttered Downstate Correctional Facility in Fishkill just after midnight.
Once inside, the teen reportedly got a little too into character and managed to lock himself in one of the old cells. Realising freedom wasn't part of the self-guided tour, he had to call for help.
State Police and the Glenham Fire Department responded and freed the red-faced inmate-turned-intruder. Mallon was promptly arrested for criminal trespass.
Ed the Zebra, who hoofed it out of captivity and trotted into internet stardom, was finally grounded after more than a week on the loose in Tennessee.

A DoorDash driver accidentally turned Chicago O'Hare into his own personal delivery route after driving miles through the airport's restricted roads on Saturday.
Airport police say the confused courier wandered along taxiways and secure areas before being spotted by someone in the control tower. Authorities confirmed it was all a mistake, but admitted the driver may have crossed actual runways. No word on whether the food was on time.
Things got a little too fraught at a Charlotte commission meeting when protesters released live crickets during a debate on gun violence awareness.
The unexpected insect invasion forced a recess while crews rounded up the chirping culprits. 'Disturb the meeting, and you'll be escorted out - or charged,' warned Chair Mark Jerrell.
