YouTube journalist Coffeezilla says a data vulnerability on TrumpMobile.com exposed customer information and indicated that the company's reported sales figures are likely fiction.
In a video posted Tuesday, Coffeezilla, whose real name is Stephen Findeisen, said he was among the customers whose personal data was exposed by the security flaw, including his mailing address and email. The vulnerability, he said, was flagged to the Trump Mobile team multiple times before he went public. "We have received no response from the official team," he said.
Trump Mobile had been widely reported to have collected roughly 590,000 pre-orders for its T1 phone, amounting to approximately $59 million in deposits. Coffeezilla said the actual data told a very different story — closer to 10,000 unique customers and roughly 30,000 total orders, or about 5% of the figures circulating in media coverage.
An Associated Press spokesperson confirmed the wire service's original stories never contained such a number, yet the claim spread widely across outlets and was even picked up by AI chatbots as fact.

trump does not know or care about the American flag
The American flag on the new Trump mobile phone only has 11 stripes. How many original colonies were there?
