Trump Torches a Tech Giant, and It’s Hilarious

President Trump opened this week by doing what he does best: calling out incompetence with a laugh and a fireball of truth. This time, the target was AT&T, after the company failed spectacularly to connect him to thousands of faith leaders nationwide for a major conference call.

Trump shared the meltdown in real-time on Truth Social, telling followers, “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. This is the second time it’s happened.” He asked for “the Boss of AT&T” to get involved while noting there were tens of thousands of people waiting, making it clear the magnitude of the event—and the magnitude of AT&T’s failure.

When the call still didn’t get through, Trump fired off another post: “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!”

The internet exploded, with supporters and everyday Americans roasting AT&T in the comments. One user summed up the absurdity by posting a video of a man tangled in wires trying to get them to connect, captioning it as the “Boss of AT&T” scrambling to fix the call. Another said, “Trump ROASTS AT&T for their terrible service. Completely justified,” adding that outages, delays, and incompetent responses have become the norm for many customers.

One Trump supporter even suggested the president move his calls to X Spaces, noting it can hold hundreds of thousands of people without dropping, hinting that old corporate giants like AT&T are losing touch in a rapidly shifting tech world.

While AT&T has remained silent so far, there’s no doubt its PR team is scrambling behind the scenes. Given Trump’s influence and ability to set the internet ablaze, this roast is the last thing AT&T needed as it tries to claw back its customer base amid constant complaints about high prices and unreliable service.

This fiasco hit a nerve for many Americans frustrated with large corporations that promise everything while delivering chaos. Trump’s raw, unfiltered takedown felt like a much-needed reminder that no company is too big to fail if it can’t serve its customers, especially when the customers include tens of thousands of faith leaders looking to support America’s restoration under Trump’s leadership.

The call itself was meant to connect faith leaders nationwide with Trump as he continues his mission to rally churches and prayer warriors in support of a stronger America, protecting children, safeguarding freedom, and restoring spiritual values to the center of American life. The irony that a company as large as AT&T couldn’t manage to handle a simple call while everyday Americans manage their families, businesses, and churches without missing a beat wasn’t lost on those watching.

In the end, the Trump-AT&T meltdown was more than just a moment of technological failure; it was a symbol of how bloated corporations often fail when tested under pressure, and how quickly Trump is willing to pivot, expose failures, and move forward with or without them.

As Trump gears up for another push in the battle for America’s future, one thing is clear: he won’t be waiting on hold for anyone—especially not for a failing phone carrier that can’t get its act together.
