1. You must wear a MAGA hat while on the phone.
2. No conversations with anyone who might be liberal, woke, LGBTQ, Latino, Black, Asian, etc.
3. Daily leave a message with "The Donald" to tell him what a wonderful president he is....extra minutes with be allocated to you equal to the amount of butt kissing you do.
4. when paying your bill, always check the box for you to make a donation to the Republican Party (min $10)

...done this. OTOH, running a phone company would actually require Trump to provide a high-quality product in a very competitive market, which is likely a little more work than he would wish to do.

There is a precedent for a Trump/MAGA phone provider; one of the far-right billionaires, Tom Monaghan I believe, runs a "pro-life" MVNO called Charity Mobile (originally Credo Mobile). (MVNOs are "virtual" phone companies like Consumer Cellular that rent time on cell towers owned by the major phone networks).

He probably bought access to someone else's network and is reselling it as his own.
