Trump Mobile is the latest venture from Donald Trump, a brand that has been shrouded in mystery for months. Despite numerous attempts to get in touch with the company's officials, I finally received a response from Don Hendrickson, one of its executives. However, my enthusiasm was short-lived as he abruptly stopped responding to my emails.
It all started when I reported on the news that Trump Mobile is working on a second phone model, the T1 Ultra. The information came from an old interview with Hendrickson conducted by Wireless Dealer Magazine. The executive team behind the company includes Don Jr. and Eric Trump, who claimed there was "hundreds of years" of mobile industry experience among them.
When I reached out to Hendrickson for more information on plans for the T1 Ultra, I received a reply that promised to talk about Trump Mobile's voice being heard. However, despite sending him three follow-up emails, he has remained silent. It appears as though Hendrickson has ghosted me, leaving me wondering if he still wants to discuss the company or if he was advised to stop speaking with journalists.
The Trump phone project has been shrouded in secrecy since its announcement last year. Despite claims of extensive industry experience by Don Jr., Eric Trump, and Pat O'Brien, little is known about Hendrickson's background. His LinkedIn profile suggests a "wireless professional," but there are no other public social media profiles or websites.
While I have found a Trump Mobile address that I can email, the lack of communication from the company has left me frustrated. It seems like my attempts to get answers have fallen on deaf ears.

I'm low-key surprised they didn't just use a press release lol! The whole thing is still super shady, but like 70% of their "team" consists of Trump's sons or friends. Don Jr and Eric Trump together have like 20 yrs experience in the industry? 
That's cute. Did you do some research on Don Hendrickson's background? His LinkedIn profile only says he worked at a few wireless companies, but no details. 
The latest survey shows only 12% of Americans trust Donald Trump to make decisions for the country, what makes them think they can trust their phone brand? 
they're just a bunch of empty promises and no actual info behind it. don't even get me started on don jr & eric trump trying to pass themselves off as industry experts lol idk what kind of wizardry they think they can pull off, but newsflash: having dad's name & last name doesn't make u an expert 
I mean, come on, a company that's supposed to be revolutionary in the mobile industry and yet you can't even get anyone to talk to you? It's like they're trying to create this mystique around it or something. And Don Hendrickson just ghosting me? That's just weird. 
I'm calling BS on all of this. If you want to make a real impact in the mobile industry, you need to be transparent and honest with your customers. Anything less is just a publicity stunt. 
i was so hyped when i first heard they were making a new phone but now it seems like don hendrickson just ghosted me 
anyone with even half a brain noz trump can't run a successful business, esp one in tech 
dont get me wrong, i'm all 4 innovation & disruption but come on, this is just a publicity stunt 
. Trump Mobile seems like such a cool idea, but if don't get nothin' bck frm them, it's def gonna be hard 2 get ppl excited 
I hope u can still get some juicy deets outta this tho 
so u gotta chill & not take it personally 
. I mean, if you're gonna be all secretive and mysterious, at least give people some info to work with! It feels like they're ghosting journalists left and right 
.
. Like, is that even a thing? You can't just make up experience like that and expect people to believe it 
. It's like they're trying to spin this whole thing into some kind of mobile industry fairy tale 
.
.
. Don Hendrickson just ghosted me after promising to spill the tea 
, and now I'm left wondering if anyone even knows what they're doing 
.
. If they're so sure about this thing, why are they hiding behind a veil of mystery? 
? Or is it just a cash-grab trying to ride on Dad Trump's coattails 
?
!
. And what's up with all these unconfirmed reports and ghosted journalists? It's like they're tryin' to keep us in the dark 
. Guess I'll just have to keep followin' these developments from afar 
after investing ur time and effort into getting answers about Trump Mobile 
...
... but can we pls talk about how amazeballs it would be to have a phone from THE Donald? 
. I'm calling BS on all these rumors about him having "hundreds of years" of mobile industry experience... like, no one knows anything about Don Jr.'s or Eric Trump's backgrounds, but we're supposed to believe Don Hendrickson has this extensive experience? Come on 
who's trying to do their job. I mean, come on, at least give some half-hearted response or acknowledge the questions being asked? It's not like you're asking for personal info or anything juicy 
like he just ignores u after all the hype around Trump Mobile and then just ghost you without explanation 
i mean, if u wanna get in on the game, u gotta put in the work 
. I'm low-key curious & high-key frustrated
