Trump rants about AT&T service after tech issues delay his call with faith leaders

Source: The Independent

Monday 30 June 2025 15:39 EDT


President Donald Trump blamed AT&T for faulty service on Monday after he experienced technical difficulties trying to connect on a conference call with faith leaders.

On Truth Social, the president summoned the “Boss” of AT&T to “get involved” in the issue after claiming the telecommunications company was “unable to make their equipment work properly,” which delayed the Faith Leaders Conference Call.

“I’m doing a major Conference Call with Faith Leaders from all over the Country, and AT&T is totally unable to make their equipment work properly,” Trump wrote. “This is the second time it’s happened. If the Boss of AT&T, whoever that may be, could get involved — It would be good. There are tens of thousands of people on the line!”

Minutes later, Trump took to his social media platform again to apologize to those participating in the conference call for the delay, which he attributed to AT&T. “AT&T ought to get its act together,” Trump wrote, claiming the call may have to be rescheduled because “AT&T obviously doesn’t know what they’re doing.”

How come we can never actually see when Jesus fixes things? Really weird, huh?

Or since they all claim that God speaks to them, couldn't they just have God relay the messages to each of them?

Wonder if God was displeased with Trump AND faith leaders.
What fresh hell are they planning for us now?

There is a world of difference between having faith and having religion. The Christian fascists couldn't dismantle faith as they have Christianity.
Maybe God was giving them a chance to reconsider what they've done.

I'm sure everyone was an opportunistic charlatan, whoring their faith for lucre.

The whole “faith” thing is a scam, which I pointed out in a paper for my psychology class in high school.

Nobody needs faith; just go find out about your place in the universe by your own self.

“Believe me with no evidence.” Sounds like a con to me.

I have internet service with them and was having all sorts of trouble with it being slow and other issues. They finally told me I needed to get a wifi extender from them because the signal was weak. I have had them for 13 years and the gateway has always been in the same place - a place their tech guy said was "ideal". Then they had the nerve to charge me a monthly fee for the extender.

I'd switch but it's too much bother and there aren't a lot of providers where I live. I think they just want to get money to pay for their new fiber which of course is not slated to be in my area anyway.
