President Trump will leave office as the richest man in the world, a modern day Crassus.

Putin is still effectively the richest at present time, but it will be interesting if he can manage to not be impeached & removed for 3 years.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

According to Trump

Yeah I don't have any factual data to back that up. I accept their statement based on his experience running The Apprentice. He loves to make people compete for a project and tell the losers, "You're Fiyyaaad!!"

Trump has a very poor track record in terms of making true or accurate statements.

Still confused that you can do this kind of things while being the president

His sons are directing the work AFAIK. It's just Trump in brand only.

well, the american flag is pulled into the brand along with the american president too.

At the risk of stating the blatantly obvious, this will be a rebranded Chinese phone, if it happens at all. The photo on their website [1] is a quick and sloppy Photoshop job (note identical lenses and lack of flash), and the specs and pricing are totally implausible for a US-made phone. Compare that to the 2000$ Purism charges for their comically under-powered Liberty phone [2] that is mostly US-made.
