Poplar Group Drops Trump Mobile as T1 Phone Faces 1 More PR Blow

Summary
Poplar Group has stopped representing Trump Mobile, with founding partner Chris Walker telling The Verge his team is “not assisting Trump Mobile any further.”
The split follows a string of T1 phone controversies, including vaporware concerns, a data leak affecting thousands, and a teardown that identified the device as a gold-plated modified HTC U24 Pro.
Walker had also told USA Today the T1 was made in America, a claim later shown to be false and now no longer maintained by Trump Mobile.
Trump Mobile’s current media strategy is unclear, with Walker saying he did not know whether the company has hired a new PR firm.
