Trump's Cellphones Lack Proper Security Because It's 'Too Inconvenient' For Him—And The Hypocrisy Is Real

President Donald Trump refuses to allow security features to be added to his cell phones, Politico reported on Tuesday.


Two administration officials told Politico that Trump thinks having security features that could shield his communications and prevent hacking and enabled on his phones would be "too inconvenient," despite the urging of White House aides that he should swap out the devices on a monthly basis.

According to Politico, Trump uses two iPhones—one for the bulk of his personal communications, the other for reading news and using Twitter.

"Due to inherent capabilities and advancement in technologies, these devices are more secure than any Obama-era devices," one official told Politico. Another senior White House staffer said Trump's call-enabled phones "are seamlessly swapped out on a regular basis through routine support operations. Because of the security controls of the Twitter phone and the Twitter account, it does not necessitate regular change-out."

Of course, Trump is exhibiting the same type of behavior of which he accused his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, of doing during her time as Secretary of State under President Barack Obama. The FBI's investigation of her use of a private email server overshadowed most of the pressing issues during the 2016 presidential campaign, including when former FBI Director James Comey announced in October of that year that the probe was being reopened. Clinton has blamed her election loss, at least in part, on Comey's announcement. Comey later wrote in his memoirs that the idea that he swayed the election "sickened" him.

As is widely known, no criminal activity by Clinton was found, and no charges were ever filed against anyone at state or within Clinton's inner circle. Nevertheless, Trump made "Hillary's emails" a centerpiece of his presidential campaign. "Her server was easily hacked by foreign governments, perhaps even by her financial backers in communist China — sure they have it — putting all of America and our citizens in danger, great danger," he said in June 2016. All of these claims by candidate Trump were and are completely untrue. In fact, Trump actually called on Russia to hack and release emails from the Democratic National Committee, which Wikileaks fed to the press that summer.


Trump also referred to Clinton as "the most corrupt person ever to run for president," rousing crowds of supporters who regularly chanted "lock her up." Trump's dizzying display of hypocrisy is but the latest in the president's habit of accusing others of what he himself may be guilty, including but not limited to: colluding with Russia during the 2016 campaign; spying on his campaign; leaking national security secrets; and using unsecured means of communication when dealing with materials pertaining to national security.

Twitter shared its thought on the story, and the president's double-standard certainly didn't go unnoticed.

Trump Blasted After Military Scrubs WWII Navajo Code Talkers From Websites Due To 'DEI'

The Department of Defense and the U.S. Army have been widely criticized after they removed materials from their websites about the World War II Navajo Code Talkers, who from 1942 to 1945 played a crucial role in every major Marine Corps operation in the Pacific, using their unbreakable code to secure communications.

News outlets found that at least 10 articles about the Code Talkers had vanished from the U.S. Army and Department of Defense websites as of Monday. The Defense Department’s URLs had been modified to include the letters "DEI," indicating they may have been removed following President Trump’s executive order dismantling federal diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

MTG Gets Schooled By Holocaust Historian After Unfounded Claim About 'Nazis In Ukraine' In Resurfaced Clip

A resurfaced video from 2024 reminded social media users of the time Yale historian and best-selling author Dr. Timothy Snyder gave Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene a blunt fact-check after she touted the rise of "Nazis in Ukraine" during a recent congressional hearing.

The video is more relevant than ever following a contentious White House meeting last month between President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Vice President J.D. Vance. The meeting turned heated when Vance berated Zelenskyy, leading the Ukrainian president to leave without signing an agreement for U.S. security guarantees in exchange for access to Ukrainian rare earth minerals.
