Trump Criticizes AT&T, AT&T Responds to Call Disruption

Former President Donald Trump criticized AT&T after technical issues disrupted a major conference call with faith leaders, marking the second such incident and prompting Trump to consider switching carriers. AT&T responded by stating its analysis indicated the disruption was caused by the conference call platform, not its own network, and that it was investigating further. Trump briefly speculated, without evidence, that the disruption could have been intentional due to the call's religious focus, but later dismissed this as unlikely. The incident coincides with the Trump family's preparations to launch their own mobile service, Trump Mobile. AT&T's stock experienced temporary volatility following Trump's public comments but later stabilized. The episode highlights ongoing tensions between Trump and AT&T and the importance of reliable telecommunications for high-profile virtual events.
