On Monday afternoon, the president of the United States was just another person complaining online about his service provider.
週一下午，美國總統和一般用戶一樣，在網路上抱怨他的網路服務供應商。
Donald Trump wrote in a pair of posts on Truth Social that he was trying to hold a conference call with faith leaders from all over the country but was unable to start the call because of technical difficulties.
唐納．川普在「真實社群」連發兩文，表示他本想與全國宗教領袖舉行電話會議，卻由於技術問題，無法展開這場會議。
“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!”
「AT&T完全沒辦法讓他們的設備正常運作」，這名共和黨籍總統在1篇發文中說，「這已經是第二次發生了。如果AT&T的老闆──不管是誰──能介入處理會很好，因為有成千上萬人在線上！」
AT&T reached out immediately, according to a White House official who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The issue was resolved and the call started 20 minutes late. (AP)
1名未獲授權公開談論此事的白宮官員，在匿名情況下透露，AT&T隨即與白宮聯繫，該問題便獲得解決，通話延後20分鐘開始。（美聯社）
