LOL. Was wondering when someone was going to bring up this subject.
I remember when Obama took office and his computer folks told him his Blackberry phone was not a secure device. To which he ordered: Then make it safe! Cause I ain't working without my Blackberry!
Seriously! We get so attached to our tech toys, don't we?
Let's see. Trump inaugurated on the 20th of January. Article published in New York Times on the 25th. That's actually pretty good timing.
However ... folks in the government who are responsible for computer security better move fast!
How fast? Uuuuh ... Faster than you can spell the word BREACH!!!
Well it's either secure the president's phone or block his access to Twitter.
Or ... you could give him his own private server. We know how well that worked out for Hillary!

LOL. There was a meeting today with Trump and Theresa May. Part of it was televised and they were responding to reporters' questions. She seems a very sensible lady. Well! Let's just say she left me with a good impression of her. Judging based solely on her public persona, she's definitely a CONTRAST in character to our president.

@Asylum - Uumm … just curious.
By comparison to Cameron (not Trump), do you think she will be able to be more effective in acting in the best interests of the UK and getting things done?
Also, were you suprised when Cameron stepped down after the BREXIT vote? I was!
Do you agree with the results of the BREXIT vote? I do!! I have heard that England is happy but Scotland and Ireland are not. Is that true?
(Yeah. These questions coming from a person who really doesn't pay attention to politics. LOL. 
If you only knew how much I hate politics. But I can't ignore what's going on in the world! That would be stupid of me!)

I think Trump should have his Twitter priviliges revoked. He is so nasty, he must be violating some kind of terms of service.

Hmmmm ... ? There's a thought. But I don't think he is violating the TOS.

Oh the phones are only dangerous if they are Samsung phones. Might blow up something in the White House.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 could explode. Read this to satisfy your burning curiosity.

The I.T. people for sure have jobs, even if everybody else in the country is unemployed!
