Fire and Fabrication: Trump's Golden Phone a Chinese Dragon in Disguise?

Winter is Coming... From China?

My loyal subjects your Khaleesi brings grave tidings! The whispers from across the Narrow Sea are becoming a roar. It seems the ahem *Trump Organization* has unveiled a golden trinket called the 'T1' – a 'smartphone' they call it. They claim it will be 'built in the United States'. Lies! All lies I say! It seems this 'American made' marvel is more likely forged in the fiery depths of… China. It appears someone has bent the knee to the wrong kingdom.

A Golden Cage for Google's Android?

This 'T1' runs on something called 'Android' a system crafted by Google. It is like housing a dragon in a gilded cage. But what good is a golden cage if the bars are made from falsehoods? Experts across the realm nay the *internet* are saying that it's 'completely impossible' for this device to be truly American made. This sounds like something Littlefinger would concoct another ladder of chaos. 'Chaos is a ladder' after all. And is this golden phone just another rung?

Original Device Manufacturers (ODMs): The Unsullied of Tech?

Apparently these 'smartphones' are often born from the loins of 'original device manufacturers'. Essentially companies that create and design based on another company's desire. They are like the Unsullied but for manufacturing. This means that this golden 'T1' is likely being crafted by a Chinese ODM far from the promised land. Where is the honor? Where is the truth?!

Tariffs and Treachery: A Game of Supply Chains

I've heard whispers of tariffs of walls built to keep out foreign goods. How ironic that this 'American' phone relies on foreign components! Even I Daenerys Stormborn know that my dragons need food from across the lands. But to claim one thing and do another? That is the way of Cersei Lannister not a true leader. The US president urged Apple to manufacture its flagship handset in the US as if he knows about supply chains.

The Devil's in the AMOLED Details

This golden monstrosity boasts a '6.8 inch AMOLED display'. My Dothraki would call it a shiny trinket. This type of screen is made primarily by Samsung and LG (South Korea) and BOE (China). For only $499 (which I believe is a very small amount compared to my dragons) the device will use a processor from Taiwanese firm MediaTek. It sounds like a puzzle box designed to deceive. The memory is one area that could use American technology but no one knows for sure.

From Essos to the USA: The Iron Throne of Manufacturing

So my faithful followers let us be wary of gilded promises. Let us question the source of power and the truth behind the claims. For even the most beautiful dragon egg can hatch a serpent. 'When you play the game of phones you win or you die.' Or in this case you get a very expensive possibly Chinese made device.
