If you’ve been following my reporting on Trump Mobile, you’ll know that Trump Mobile does not keep open lines of communication with the media. It doesn’t look like that will change, as the company is no longer working with the long-term media relations firm.

Poplar group Representing Trump Mobile since at least last June, when company co-founder Chris Walker made a statement to… USA Today“T1 phones are proudly made in America,” he insisted at the time. This, of course, is not true, which Even Trump Mobile is admitting now.

He told me this week that his team “will not help Trump Mobile any further.” He did not know if the company had retained a new public relations firm in Poplar’s place.

Perhaps with the phone launched now, the company doesn’t think it needs to endure the press for much longer.

Social truth and X Who appear to be genuine buyers, but that’s all for now. For more on Trump’s phone, check out my account A great wrap up for his first birthday.
