Three months later, the phone’s ship date keeps getting delayed with no explanation — although the company continues to collect $100 deposits.
The grift never ends.

Hilarious to see Trump aide Steve Witkoff coach Yuri Ushakov, the top foreign policy aide to Putin, on how to butter up the perpetually praise-needy, Donald Trump. They all know he’s a thirsty pushover if given enough false flattery.
