On Monday, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was hosting a two-day “FRANK-a-thon” to raise money for his new social media platform “Frank”, and was duped by a prank caller pretending to be former President Trump while taking live calls.
Lindell was taking in calls during the event, Lindell cut to a caller who claimed she has Trump on the line.
“Oh, we have the president here, our real president everyone,” Lindell said.
But Lindell’s excitement quickly turned sour as “the President” on the other line let out a stream of profanities, prompting Lindell to scramble to end the call.

“You see what they’re doing, they’re attacking us,” Lindell said after the incident.
The MyPillow CEO also received a prank call from another caller who posed as a Wall Street Journal reporter.
Lindell, one of the most vocal supporters of Trump’s conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, announced plans last week to create Frank after being banned from Twitter for spreading conspiracy theories after last year’s elections. He was sued by Dominion Voting Systems in February for pushing unproven claims that their machines were used to help President Biden steal the November election from Trump.
