    How can you possibly have a politically agnostic video about the Trump phone? It’s literally a political product.

      Yours not wrong, and to an extent I see that as impossible.

      I suppose what I’m looking for is a teardown / comparison video that doesn’t have obvious slander direct bias against Trump. Like, a Johnny Harris style *pull off the back, “wait this looks a lot like this HTC phone I pulled apart”, *grabs it, *starts comparing parts, etc would be great.

      Edit: “slander” implies I’m claiming the video is speaking lies about Trump. I was in a hurry when typing up this comment, and that wasn’t what I intended to say. Others pointed this out, so edited to clarify (with strike through over original text).

          Copy paste from other thread:

          Was trying to be quick about comment, so “slander” may not have been the right word for what I meant to convey. Suppose “direct jab at Trump” is more what I meant.

          To see the kind of thing I mean, first one starts at 0:19 of the video:

          …or if its just a quick cash grab to increase his personal wealth while riding the coattails of a previously prestigious position while grasping at all remaining straw to remain relevant in his final days in office

          I’d love to pass this video off to my Aunt and old man (hard core maga folk) with a critism that the phone that Trump has endorsed is trash. But the moment the narrator says that, I know I’mma get a “tHiS iS jUsT mOaR tRuMp DeRaNgEmEnT sYnDrOmE” response.

            Honestly…

            Why bother trying to convince them to not get this phone at this point?

              Oh, they’re broke MFs; they ain’t buying a new phone any time soon. And when they do, it’ll be the cheapest most poorly made one they could dig out of a Goodwill bin. sigh as an IT type, its frustrating watching theyre lack of security posture on the matter.

              But anyway, I was hoping to send to point out the lack of quality of products that Trump is slapping his name on. Its the most minor point in getting them off the Maga train, but I figure every little bit helps.

            That statement would hold up in court and is not slander.

              Mkay, seems like the specific word “slander” is the hang up from you seeing what I intend to convey.

              I edited my other comment to (I hope) more clearly convey what I mean (leaving original text with striketbrough to make edits clear).
