Where is the Device? Trump Phone T1 Release Delay Extends to Three Months

Flashy promises haven't translated into physical hardware. The Trump Phone T1 has missed its launch windows for the third consecutive month, leaving pre-order customers and tech analysts wondering if the device will ever see the light of day.
