Discussion: China Suggests Trump Replace iPhone With Huawei After Denying Spying Report

Trump pushed back against the idea that he uses insecure cellphones, tweeting Thursday that he only uses government phones “and have only one seldom used government cell phone.”

Now we know it’s true that he’s using a vanilla unsecured iphone.

Authoritarians regimes around the world are just loving how the US President consistently delegitimizes legitimate news media, which is one of the greatest challenges those regimes face (which is why journalists around the world are being murdered by these authoritarian regimes).

In response to Trump’s tweet, in which he claims he rarely uses cellphones and only when it’s “government authorized”:

I suppose Trump would say his tweets are authorized by the government - the government of one.

Maybe Trump can use Steve Miller to pass notes. If Trump glues the notes, Miller will eat them after they’re read.

The thing that rang most true in the NYT story was that Trump uses his personal cell phone to avoid having any public record of to whom he is talking, and because it has all his contacts in it. He doesn’t want a FOIA request revealing how many hours he spends on the phone taking advice from his buddies like Hannity.

Isnt the iPhone also made in China?

But also why not a Russian phone? If we are trying to cut out middlemen.

WOW! :laughing:

May I suggest one of these?

What you did there. I see it.
