TL;DR
- US President Donald Trump reportedly prefers using his personal iPhone to communicate with friends, family, business titans, reporters, and even world leaders.
- White House officials are concerned about this, especially since the phone number is now being widely circulated.
- Despite the concerns, Trump reportedly continues to use his personal phone to communicate and offer bytes to the media.
How do you imagine the President of the United States communicates on sensitive matters? If you’re thinking of a purpose-built device running a highly secure and private, perhaps even a bespoke, network, you’re wrong. Quite unlike the Hollywood vision of a futuristic, customized communication device, President Donald Trump frequently relies on his personal phone, and it’s starting to irk White House officials.
White House officials recently confirmed to The Atlantic that President Trump’s private phone, particularly an iPhone, is often constantly buzzing from calls and messages. The frequency is supposedly getting out of control, especially since Trump’s private phone number is now being widely distributed.
