God help us, Donald Trump is launching Trump Mobile and plans to sell a phone
Donald Trump is launching a cellular brand called Trump Mobile. The newly formed company, which was announced today by Donald Trump Jr., will sell a single wireless plan called 'The 47 Plan,' which offers unlimited talk and texting, as well as unlimited data that throttles speeds after the first 20GB each month. The Trump Mobile service is a white-label plan built on an existing mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) called Liberty Mobile. The company also plans to sell 'The T1 Phone,' a gold-accented smartphone that it says will be manufactured in the United States. During the announcement event for Trump Mobile held at Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump Jr. said they were building something for 'people who have been underserved,' and to 'make sure that real Americans could get true value from their mobile carriers.' Trump Mobile's only plan will cost $47.45 per month, which is roughly double that of equivalent offerings at other low-cost carriers like Mint Mobile and Boost Mobile. Liberty Mobile, the MVNO behind Trump Mobile, offers plans starting at $20 per month. Customers will be able to use their own devices with a Trump Mobile SIM card. The plan will supposedly include a telemedicine service powered by Doctegrity, which will allow subscribers to access medical and behavioral health services through the third-party provider. The plan is also said to include roadside assistance provided by Drive America and mobile device protection by Omega Mobile Care. Details on The T1 Phone are sparse, though some specs are listed on the website. The phone is said to sport a 6.8' AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, a rear three-camera setup with a 50MP main camera, and 2MP 'depth sensor' and macro cameras, a fingerprint sensor and 'AI Face Unlock,' and a '5000mAh long life camera,' which we presume was intended to describe the battery. The phone is said to run on Android 15. Oh, and it costs $499, which is both more than what it's likely worth, and casts doubt on its manufacturing claims. Recall that estimates for American-made iPhone were in the ballpark of $1,500. Who knows if it will ever see the light of day, but if it does, maybe this piece of Trump-branded merch will be free of obvious spelling errors. Donald Trump's various licensing ventures have proved lucrative for the sitting president. In his latest financial disclosure, Trump disclosed over $50 million in income from token sales related to his crypto venture with World Liberty Financial. The disclosure also listed incomes of $2.8 million from Trump Watches, $2.5 million from Trump Sneakers and Fragrances, $1.3 million from the Greenwood Bible and $1.16 million from his NFTs.

Rick Moranis returns from retirement for 'Spaceballs 2' with Bill Pullman, Keke Palmer, and Lewis Pullman
Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis will reprise their iconic roles as Lone Starr and Dark Helmet in an upcoming Spaceballs sequel. The new film, produced by Amazon MGM Studios, will see Pullman and Moranis returning to the beloved sci-fi parody franchise that first premiered in 1987. This marks a significant return for Moranis, who has largely stepped away from acting over the past few decades. He last made headlines for his 2020 collaboration with Ryan Reynolds in a Mint Mobile ad. Also joining the cast is Keke Palmer, known for her role in One of Them Days, although her character details remain under wraps. Pullman's son, rising star Lewis Pullman, will also appear in the film, adding an exciting family connection to the project. The plot details of the sequel are still under wraps, but the film is being described as a "Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film." In addition to Pullman and Moranis, the film will feature Mel Brooks, the director and star of the original Spaceballs, who will reprise his role as Yogurt. The original film earned over $38.1 million worldwide and featured a stellar cast, including John Candy and Joan Rivers. The new Spaceballs film is slated for release in 2027, with Josh Gad directing and starring in the movie, alongside producing with Brian Grazer and Mel Brooks.

For Under $50, You Can Get Three Months of Unlimited Service From Mint Mobile
Phones plans are by no means cheap, especially with tariffs on the rise. Phones definitely aren't either, but service adds to that expense even more.

All new customers can get three months of service from Mint Mobile for just $15 per month. You have to pay the full three months, $45, up front and be a new customer to qualify for this deal. You can chose from any plan they offer. This includes everything from the 5GB per month plan to the unlimited plan.
