Trump Mobile's golden phone remains nowhere to be found

... When the Trump Organization launched a mobile phone service last June, it was supposed to be a stage setter for a new smartphone bathed in gold with a $500 price tag -- a bargain compared to Apple's latest iPhone models that sell for anywhere from $800 to $1,200.

The newly formed Trump Mobile targeted its T1 phone for an August or September release.

What's more, Trump Mobile initially hailed T1 as a device that would be "proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best."

But both the T1's shipping date and U.S. manufacturing ambitions gradually began to shift, even as Trump Mobile continues to accept $100 deposits for the device.

Not long after announcing the device, Trump Mobile pivoted from describing it as phone that would be made in the U.S. to framing it as a device that would be "proudly American." Trump Mobile's website now touts the T1 as having an "American-proud" design, with no further explanation. ...

Later in the summer, Trump Mobile also became more vague about when the T1 would become available, but still indicated it would be delivered to customers who paid the $100 deposit by the end of 2025. Trump Mobile's website continues to list the T1's targeted release date as "later this year." ...

So...

Pres Trump seems to have gone into a project (the Trump phone) with little or no understanding of the difficulties in the planning required to bring the project to completion?

What does that say about the planning of his other endeavors, say, Venezuela?
