Their phone has 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, uses a Cortex A53 based processor (typically used as the little battery saving cores in flagship devices) and sells for $1999.

I would not be surprise if it's main customers are like some partner MLM that gets their entire cult to buy it
Trump Says China ‘Not Easy’ as Trade Talks to Continue Tuesday
The US's modus operandi:
1) Sanction another country. If that country does not retaliate or has no means of a retaliation, nothing further is needed.
2) If the other country retaliates, wait for sometime and arrange a meeting to negotiate.
3) Few days before going into negotiation, sanction something else.
4) Negotiate the other country to reverse their retaliation for 1 in exchange for US reversing 3.
5) US gets away with 1.
6) Sometime later reimplement 3, which now becomes the new 1 and continue the loop.
This time also looks like that's what US is trying to achieve. According to these statements what the US is willing to undo is bans on EDA, Jet Engines, Nuclear materials and chemicals. All of that were done in the last few days in preparation for a potential meeting to negotiate RE. Also all of these bans were done by sending letters to the individual companies rather than putting it into a published BIS rule.

Says in the article that his customers are mostly the government. There are some super security conscious people who buy their stuff as well. However, two more points about their phones.
1) He says their MIC phone is only $50 cheaper to produce than his MIA phone ($600 vs $650). That's complete bullsh1t. His MIC phone is a 3GB/32GB phone with the same processor from 2015. A Tecno phone with far better specs in every way wholesales for $30 a piece on Alibaba.
2) If you look at his company's reddit page, customers have waited 1-3 years for the phone after payment.
Lol Yeah a good tactic.. Now let's see if the Chinese negotiators gonna fall for it.
This company, Purism, is probably better known for their "Librium" Laptop, Phone, and Linux distro.
It's hot garbage, and I'm not saying to be mean. Look anywhere with tech enthusiasts including their own forums and it's countless complains about hardware QC issues and overall crappy engineering. Their Linux distro is advertised as highly secure, but it's so unstable people opted for other security-hardened distros like Qubes OS. Yes you'll also find good things to say and I'm willing to believe it. But that leads to the second problem.
Purism has been around since 2014, and their hardware has been available for sale since 2020. They can't even use the "we're a startup" excuse anymore considering Framework exists, was founded in 2020, and fixed the majority of hardware issues with greatly improved QC in just two years. Prism's failures are entirely on their leadership at this point.
On a personal level, the spec sheet you listed is... odd? RAM and Storage parts would be sourced from Micron Inc. based in Idaho. Not only is their fab huge they're a major supplier of LPDDR5X DRAM and UFS NAND chips. So why is the Liberty Phone skimping? Is the extra $50 in profit really that important?
Are the protest in LA even large scale? Do they have 40 to 50k+ people out in the streets or is it a couple hundred to maybe 2000 or so? Just doesn’t seem like it is generating a mass protest movement.
Just realized that banned member @tacoburger has a username that combines two of Trump's favorite things...
