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.

Given how Crassus, ah, left office, I'm not sure he's an example many people would be keen to follow.

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.

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.

I think we have the new top target for hackers everywhere.

Will it be made in the USA by Americans from genuine USA sourced materials?

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.

... Oh, wow. I saw the website yesterday, but assumed it was a _joke_.
