Trump's Golden Phones Spark Outrage Over Presidential Spending
President Donald Trump has been spotted with his latest golden addition to the Oval Office: two new Cisco phones. The devices, which appear to have been designed specifically for Trump's tastes, feature a gold-plated presidential seal and gold lettering proclaiming 'The President,' 'Donald J. Trump,' and '45' and '47.' The phones also have a golden line framing their edges.
Trump showed off the new phones during an event touting this summer's tourism, telling Fox News' White House correspondent Peter Doocy that they were given to him by a phone company.
Cisco's CEO Chuck Robbins has an estimated net worth of $367 million and took home an estimated $52.8 million in 2023, according to Quiver Quantitative.
The new phones have drawn backlash and mockery from critics who point out that Americans can't afford to gas up their cars but are paying for the President's luxuries.
