President Donald Trump appeared to seek technical support in a social media post on Monday, stating that a conference call with American faith leaders had experienced difficulties, which he attributed to the telecommunications company AT&T.
He called on the company’s "boss, whoever that may be" to step in and address the issue. Trump also mentioned that his team might switch to a different carrier for future calls.
"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. 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!" Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Monday afternoon.

In a subsequent post on the matter, the president said: "I apologize for the long wait on the Faith Leaders Conference Call. 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 president's unusual remarks complaining about tech issues led to several tongue-in-cheek responses on social media.
Journalist Max Tani wrote: "The presidential equivalent of angrily tweeting at the airline when your flight is delayed."
CNN correspondent Hadas Gold said: "Well this is one way to get service."

"If the President can't get a conference call to work I'm not that sure it's an AT&T problem," wrote a user.
White House reporter Philip Wegmann said: "POTUS: Can you hear me now?"
The X account "Republicans against Trump" shared a screenshot of the president's post with the caption, "Totally normal and not crazy at all."
