WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 On Monday afternoon, the president of the United States was just another person complaining online about his service provider.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump wrote in a pair of posts on Truth Social that he was trying to hold a conference call with faith leaders from all over the country but was unable to start the call because of technical difficulties.<\/p>\n
\u201cAT&T is totally unable to make their equipment work properly,\u201d the Republican president said in a post. \u201cThis is the second time it\u2019s happened. If the Boss of AT&T, whoever that may be, could get involved \u2014 It would be good. There are tens of thousands of people on the line!\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump then followed up with another post in which he said, \u201cAT&T ought to get its act together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Representatives for AT&T responded to a post from the White House press secretary sharing Trump\u2019s complaints.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve reached out to the White House and are working to quickly understand and assess the situation,\u201d AT&T said.<\/p>\n
AT&T reached out immediately, according to a White House official who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The issue was resolved and the call started 20 minutes late, <\/p>\n
Trump rarely shies away from posting his gripes on social media, whether the target is foreign leaders, media organizations, elected officials or telecommunication companies.<\/p>\n
The call he was delayed from holding was not on his publicly released schedule.<\/p>\n
Between 8,000 and 10,000 leaders of Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths were on the call, the first of a series that the White House expects to regularly hold with religious leaders.<\/p>\n
During the call, according to the official, Trump spoke for about 15 minutes and touted provisions in his big tax breaks and spending cuts<\/a> bill, like the boost to the child tax credit, the Israel-Iran ceasefire<\/a> and African peace deals<\/a> he brokered, and the pardons he issued<\/a> for anti-abortion activists. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 On Monday afternoon, the president of the United States was just another person complaining online…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":28230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[24340,64,69,57,59,80,158,11084,67,370,132,68,93],"class_list":{"0":"post-28229","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-att","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-donald-trump","11":"tag-general-news","12":"tag-inc","13":"tag-politics","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-trump-media-technology-group","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-united-states-government","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-washington-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114774650659908907","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
