Insane detail:

-) Estimations are that the HTC U24 Pro sold just ~10.000 units globally since 2024, at ~459 USD*

-) The "Trump T1" variant is rumored to have sold ~30.000 units in 2026(!), at 499 USD

--> So they managed to sell a 2-year old device at a HIGHER price than HTC did, and sold ~3 times the volume in ~6 months of what HTC achieved WITHIN TWO-YEARS just by branding it with the "Trump" Name...

If that doesn't at least demonstrate how broken the competitive landscape in the smartphone industry is (me gently excluding the gravity of the 'Trump' branding), I don't know anymore...

*) approx., with 2024-style memory/storage spec of 8GB/128GB

The only thing it demonstrates is that the kind of person who would buy this phone suffers from brain damage and a handful of extra chromosomes.
