Trump posted twice on Truth Social. “AT&T is totally unable to make their equipment work properly,” he said first. “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.”

“I apologize for the long wait,” Trump posted minutes later. “AT&T ought to get its act together. Please pass along the word to the tens of thousands of people who are there. We may have to reschedule the call, but we’ll use another carrier the next time. AT&T obviously doesn’t know what they’re doing!”
