The Morning After: Can the golden Trump Phone actually be made in USA?

When the Trump family announced its debut into the glitzy world of phone carriers with Trump Mobile, it came with a phone, too: a not-gold slab called the T1. The biggest heady claim (beyond the fact that its sole $47.25 plan would be ‘true value”) is: how can any modern smartphone claim to be made in the US?

Garmin’s tracker is worn on the upper arm and tracks multiple metrics, including skin temperature, light, deep, and REM sleep stages as well as variations in heart rate and breathing.

Skin temperature tracking provides a clearer understanding of how your sleep environment impacts the quality of your sleep, even identifying potential illnesses based on your body temperature. It also features menstrual health tracking, with skin temperature changes useful for tracking cycles.
