When Trump Phones Friends, the Chinese and the Russians Listen and Learn

When President Trump calls old friends on one of his iPhones to gossip, gripe or solicit their latest take on how he is doing, American intelligence reports indicate that Chinese spies are often listening — and putting to use invaluable insights into how to best work the president and affect administration policy, current and former American officials said.

Mr. Trump’s aides have repeatedly warned him that his cellphone calls are not secure, and they have told him that Russian spies are routinely eavesdropping on the calls, as well. But aides say the voluble president, who has been pressured into using his secure White House landline more often these days, has still refused to give up his iPhones. White House officials say they can only hope he refrains from discussing classified information when he is on them.​

More lies from the NYT. They literally made this up out of thin air.

 

[joko104]

It was just once.

Oh, wait.

^ That tweet is what some Democrats claim divulged national security secrets. That is how much a joke this is. :lamo

 

[Aberration]

If the intelligence agencies can tell when spies are listening in, then they can’t stop them. And they are allowed to spy on foreign agents so they should be able to hear what they are supposedly spying on...

 

[Aberration]

That post showed trump lying about using personal phones as he tweeted on his personal phone.

And all of that super simplistic deduction went wwwaaaaaayyyyyy over your head. :lol:

A lot of progressive all seem to be claiming the same thing yet none of you can explain the lie.

 

[OscarLevant]

Ahhh, the old "current and former American officials" line again for some new alleged naughtiness.

A golden oldie from the Progressive-Left, sure to warm their hearts and set fires of "collusion/obstruction/EEEEvil" in the minds of even the most timid of Leftist listeners. (/HEAVY sarcasm) :roll:

You really haven't refuted the OP, eh?

 

[OscarLevant]

So more unnamed sources, also known as a Sock Puppet the NYT reporter talks to themselves on.

Emotional statements are weak arguments. Provide facts, evidence for such sentiments.
FYI, it's normal for news to use anonymous source. The journalists know who they are, and must protect identities otherwise important facts about the goings on in the corridors of the WH would never find it to press, as people would not talk. In other words, it serves the greater good.

Even the Chinese who currently hate the President are calling BS on this. Take this crap down

And you believe the Chinese? That means you believed Putin when he declared that Russia wasn't hacking the US.

Wonderful.

 

[OscarLevant]

Except the Govt has secure IPhones and there is nothing indicating that is not one.

Even if it were not one this fake news is about conversations not tweets. That a tweet has limited space with no room for him to specify conversations on Govt phones only is not a lie. Like everything else he is accused of lying about it usually the accuser lying about what he actually said.

I almost pity anyone listening in to Trump's conversations. That is what I imagine hell to be like.

Trump uses 2 gov secured iphones, one for calls and one for Twitter exclusively.

That’s reported in The NY Times.

But apparently, you’ll believe THAT, but not the rest of the reporting.

 

[bubbabgone]

Gidley rejected The Times' reporting on the number of Trump's iPhones and also downplayed the threat they may have posed.

"The President does not have three cellular phones," Gidley said in the statement. "He has one official government iPhone. This phone security follows industry best practices and is closely managed under government supervision in conjunction with recommendations from industry partners."

"The phone is rotated on a regular basis and is constantly monitored for any security vulnerabilities and attacks, in accordance with recommendations from the intelligence community," Gidley added.​

It's also substantiated by numerous credible left and right leaning newsies and on record gov officials. What's not substantiated is Trump's third (personal) phone being hacked by Ruskies and or ChiComs.

 

[Samhain]

So the government states that Trump has an official Government iPhone, people post pictures of his tweets from an iPhone, and that's "gotcha"? Wow, tinfoil hat level investigation there.

35 minutes of him telling the person on the other end of the line (and russia and china) how he just laid the greatest, bestest turd anyone ever has in history.

Intelligence community is concerned over Trump's use of personal iPhones

The intelligence community has long been concerned that Trump's use of his personal iPhones potentially opens his communications to surveillance by foreign adversaries, including the Chinese and Russians, U.S. officials said.

"This was not a secret," said one former senior White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk about a sensitive matter. "There were lots of people who were worried about this. I just assumed that anything he said was being listened to by a friend, a frenemy or all of the above."

Intelligence community? Must be deep state people.

Oh, the Chinese are saying they don't listen to POTUS? That's definitive because, obviously, if they had Trump's phones tapped they'd admit it to the world! :roll:

Reminds me of when Leftists say: "Putin has something on Trump" while ignoring or being ignorant of the fact that Trump as President is the worst thing to ever happen to Putin.
