Trump Mobile has finally deigned to respond, but not in the way one might hope. Don Hendrickson, an executive team member, replied to a message from yours truly, only to immediately ghost me after just those initial words.
In what's been a months-long email campaign, I'd managed to snag a response from Hendrickson last week. His enthusiastic tone was tantalizing – we were finally going to talk about the Trump phone and its impending release. But when I sent follow-up emails, withering silence ensued.
It's disheartening to think that I'd come so close only to be brushed off once more. A brief chat had piqued Hendrickson's interest in talking about Trump Mobile, but now it seems like he's lost all enthusiasm. The lack of transparency from the company is staggering – what were we supposed to discuss?
As a journalist, I've grown accustomed to pushing for answers, no matter how elusive they may seem. It's frustrating when an opportunity for insight vanishes into thin air.
Trump Mobile has been tight-lipped about its operations and plans, with little more than the occasional hint from Don Jr. and his team. This latest development raises even more questions: is Hendrickson truly out of the loop? Has someone advised him to keep mum?
Regardless of what's behind this abrupt departure, I'll continue to pursue answers – at least for now, there's a Trump Mobile address I can reach out to with some confidence that someone will deign to respond.
