Trump mobile finally gives update on gold mobile phone after investor backlash

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://metro.co.uk/2026/05/14/trump-mobile-finally-gives-update-gold-mobile-phone-investor-backlash-28363922/

My worry is that Donald Trump is going to sell out Taiwan to China in exchange for help with Iran.

If he does, I will no longer believe in the United States.

I am not Taiwanese. I have never even visited Taiwan. But for my entire life — all 45 years of it — while everyone here kept saying, “Russia, Russia, Russia,” even long after the Cold War ended, I saw China as the main concern. I have watched China bully its neighbors, spy on other countries including the United States (people like to forget the scandal involving stolen nuclear secrets), and threaten both Hong Kong and Taiwan with a horrible future.

Today, Hong Kong has not escaped that nightmare, and perhaps for them it was unavoidable. But Taiwan has been effectively independent for nearly a century, with its own people, laws, government, justice system, and rights. The United States promised, long before I was born and throughout my entire life, that we would aid Taiwan if needed.

Throughout my life, we have fought so many senseless wars instead of noble ones — or at least the kinds we once claimed to fight. We teach children about how America once stood up for what was right, even though I have never seen that in my lifetime. We spent enormous amounts of money on war while failing to provide healthcare or guarantee Social Security’s future. There always seemed to be more money for bombs than for people.

I think that after a lifetime of portraying Russia as the great enemy — when they clearly were not the threat we made them out to be — while ignoring China, bombing innocent people for oil, and failing to provide for our own citizens, if we now abandon our promise and sell out Taiwan, I do not think I will be able to say I still like this country anymore.

Many people I know do not even vote anymore. It almost seems like it does not matter, especially when the Democratic Party admitted in a court of law that the primaries were essentially only a formality and that, as a private organization, they could choose whomever they wanted — the will of the people be damned.

I remember watching live TV coverage, and later YouTube videos, of the Nevada caucuses, where an entire room full of Bernie Sanders supporters was ignored and, in the opinion of the chair, Hillary Clinton was declared the nominee even without the votes.

Long before that, I remember the Supreme Court telling the state of Florida to stop counting votes when it looked like Al Gore might win instead of George Bush.

Today, we have fascist Republicans redrawing maps, and a Supreme Court saying they can, while most Democrats refuse to respond in kind. The few who try are often told that somehow it is only acceptable when Republicans do it.

If we cannot elect a truly progressive government to correct this madness, voting will no longer seem like a valid or legitimate means for change. And the so-called democracy we learn about in schools will have long been dead, while the illusion that we still have it today will be nothing more than a farce.

Our government, I fear, has become the very enemy of the state — for in the United States, the state was always meant to represent the people. If it no longer does that, then the true threat is not some enemy from a foreign land, but the corruption here at home.

I, and many others, have many reasons to no longer have faith or trust in our government. I suppose I look at our promise and good faith toward Taiwan as the last canary in the coal mine. And as I hold onto that last shred of hope, I worry that today a very dangerous man — one who should be in prison and never should have been allowed to become president because of his crimes — will sell out yet another ally, abandon yet another promise, and whatever hope I still have left for this country will blow away as easily as a dandelion in the wind.
