PALM BEACH, FL — July 1, 2025
Former President Donald Trump lashed out at telecommunications giant AT&T on Monday, accusing the company of sabotaging a high-stakes prayer call with over 200 evangelical leaders after the line cut out during what he described as “the holiest part.”
“We were right in the middle of the Lord’s Prayer — maybe the best prayer — and suddenly, boom, the line goes dead,” Trump said from his office at Mar-a-Lago. “It was a beautiful call, very powerful, possibly the most spiritual ever held over a phone, and AT&T ruined it. Maybe on purpose.”
The Incident
The call, intended as a faith-based strategy session ahead of Trump’s “Second Coming Campaign Tour,” began with opening remarks by Trump, a Scripture reading from Pastor Paula White, and a planned group prayer for divine intervention in the 2026 midterms. But witnesses say the audio dropped out just as Trump began reciting, “Thy kingdom come…”
What followed was nearly 90 seconds of static, heavy breathing, and what one pastor described as “demonic-sounding modem noises.”
Trump immediately hung up and called an impromptu press briefing.
Conspiracy or Connectivity?
While AT&T issued a brief statement citing “a regional VoIP outage affecting legacy landline systems,” Trump was unconvinced.
“This is what happens when you let liberal tech people near the wires,” he said. “They don’t like faith, they don’t like power, and they don’t like Trump. But they’re going to like lawsuits.”
Steve Bannon suggested the glitch was part of a coordinated deep state attack, while MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell blamed “5G frequency pulses designed to disrupt Christian resonance.”
Faith Leaders React
Some pastors expressed disappointment, but most reaffirmed their loyalty to Trump.
“We believe this was a spiritual attack — possibly from Satan, possibly from AT&T’s internal ethics board,” said Pastor Greg Locke. “But President Trump is still God's chosen operator.”
Others, however, urged calm.
“It might’ve just been an old conference bridge,” said Rev. Alton Harris of Missouri. “Also, someone kept trying to fax during the call.”
Trump’s Solution: TrumpTel
In true Trump fashion, he ended the day with a pitch:
“We’re looking into launching our own Christian phone network. Very clean service, no woke ads, no dropped prayers. Maybe we’ll call it TrumpTel — only God and I will hear you.”
