'Get your act together!' Donald Trump blasts internet service provider AT&T after delay in religious call; says he ‘will use another carrier next time'
The United States President, on Monday afternoon, expressed frustration online regarding his
telecommunications
service provider and said, "AT&T ought to get its act together."
Donald Trump
posted on Truth Social about his inability to commence a conference call with religious leaders nationwide due to technical issues.
"AT&T is totally unable to make their equipment work properly," the Republican president said in a post. "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!"
Subsequently, Trump posted, "AT&T ought to get its act together."
AT&T representatives responded to the White House press secretary's post about Trump's concerns.
"We've reached out to the White House and are working to quickly understand and assess the situation," AT&T stated.
According to an anonymous White House official unauthorised to speak publicly, AT&T responded immediately. The issue was resolved, resulting in a 20-minute delay to the call.
AT&T released a statement on X on Monday night explaining that "the disruption was caused by an issue with the conference call platform, not our network.

Unfortunately, this caused the delay, and we are working diligently to better understand the issue so we can prevent disruptions in the future."

‘Get them the hell out': Donald Trump renews call to deport US-born offenders
US President Donald Trump has yet suggested deporting individuals born in the United States who commit crimes, describing it as 'the next job' for his administration. Speaking at a migrant detention facility in the Florida Everglades on Tuesday (July 1), Trump said, 'Many of them were born in our country.' 'I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, you want to know the truth, so maybe that'll be the next job that we'll work on together.' Trump has repeatedly raised the idea of revoking birthright citizenship, a principle enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, which grants citizenship to anyone born on American soil. His comments are likely to inflame legal debates over constitutional protections and due process, as well as intensify scrutiny of the administration's hardline immigration policies. Separately, the Justice Department issued a sweeping directive to US attorneys to prioritise denaturalisation proceedings against naturalised citizens accused of crimes or national security threats. 'The Department of Justice may institute civil proceedings to revoke a person's United States citizenship if an individual either 'illegally procured' naturalization or procured naturalization by 'concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation,'' wrote Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate in a June 11 memo. Shumate instructed prosecutors to focus on individuals linked to terrorism, espionage, and serious human rights abuses: 'The benefits of civil denaturalization include the government's ability to revoke the citizenship of individuals who engaged in the commission of war crimes, extrajudicial killings, or other serious human rights abuses,' he stated. He added that such cases would also 'prevent convicted terrorists from returning to U.S. soil or traveling internationally on a U.S. passport.' The memo detailed several priority categories for civil denaturalization, including: Individuals convicted of human trafficking, sex offenses, or violent crimes. Those who committed financial fraud against the government, such as PPP loan fraud and Medicare scams. Members or associates of gangs, drug cartels, or transnational criminal organizations. Individuals engaged in fraud against private individuals or corporations. Shumate emphasised that attorneys should take an aggressive approach: 'The Civil Division should prioritise and maximally pursue denaturalisation proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence,' he wrote.
