Kinda nice. I like it.

Kinda nice, but for who? Just you? It did not meet any of the expectations of those who bought it (it’s been proven it’s made with cheap Chinese material, suffered from having multiple delays, and has piss-poor customer service and huge lack of transparency concerning certain information about the phone and its cellular provider), and it does not meet the expectations of a phone in general if your budget is 500 dollars (the price of the phone, there are much better phones in that price range & better hardware). It’s a phone for suckers that are lucky they are getting it at all.
And I’m glad this guy shown that it has a little tiny T1 watermark sticking on the corner of every photo you take. That is incredibly petty and ridiculous for a product you spent 500 dollars on.

He reviewed it. He didn’t turn it into a political statement about how corrupt and terrible the administration is.
What are you so sad about?
The company who makes this phone delivered it how late? When did they promise it?
You saw that they updated the terms of service to say that it will NOT be made in America, as promised. They also updated it to say it may never get made at all, and also the $100 deposit people made isn’t refundable.

They trademarked the logo and it’s against trademark law to trademark any logo with a depiction of the American Flag, hence the weird design where the words underneath can look like the 12th and 13th stripes
