According to Dan Scavino, White House Director of Social Media, President Trump has now switched from some random unsecured Android phone (possibly a Samsung Galaxy model) to a real Apple iPhone.
Apple iPhones are more secure than Android phones. In fact, earlier this month, it was reported that 36 widely-used Android devices shipped with malware preinstalled. Numerous Samsung Galaxy phones populate that list of malware-infested iPhone knockoffs.
Now, though, the U.S. President’s smartphone offers security and privacy because it’s a real Apple iPhone, not a knockoff wannabe. It’s also from an American company, as opposed to one based in South Korea.
.@POTUS @realDonaldTrump has been using his new iPhone📱for the past couple of weeks here on Twitter. Yes, it is #POTUS45 reading & tweeting!

MacDailyNews Take: If it isn’t an iPhone, it isn’t an iPhone.
Anyone who values their security and privacy would be foolish to use any device that fails to sport the Apple logo. — MacDailyNews, March 22, 2016

There goes the neighborhood !
I love the MDN political dog whistle posts that are used over and over to drive ad revenue lol. Genius!
At what point does the cognitive dissonance move from:
Phase 1) “He is literally Hitler” to,
Phase 2) “Okay he’s not Hitler, but he’s incompetent” to,
Phase 3) “Okay he’s not incompetent but I still don’t like him”
Reportedly he had been using a Galaxy S3. Unbelievable for one of the richest and most powerful persons.
Look for it in the future Trump Presidential Library.
While Billionaire some don’t see the need to have the latest and greatest. Warren Buffett still drives a 2006 Cadillac and lives in the same house he bought in 1958.
Yeah but Buffet is known for being thrifty. Trump is known for being extravagant.
Reminiscent of Joe Public having a better smartphone than the Gates family, cos Billy Boy insisted on their using a Windows Phone.
There will be no future Trump library. Trump proudly tells everyone he doesn’t read, he watches Faux News.
If you want to see an archive of Trump’s twitter feed, the Wikileaks division of the Putin espionage machine has it all. They also have the original texts given to Trump by his KGB handlers.
Trump isn’t a billionaire. Not even close. He’s worth about $200m tops. The rest of his assets are purchased with debt.
Don’t you get it yet? The man lies and exaggerates in everything he does. He’s done it so long he doesn’t even realise when he’s doing it.
There goes the neighborhood
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby.
Ain’t nothing like the real thing.
Fake president.
Please tell us what part is FAKE, one line wonder?
Oops, I should have read the other comments first. I did not notice that someone had already posted the same thing that I posted.
Great minds think alike (fools seldom differ)
Took the dumb fsck long enough. So all the time @scrotus spent carping about leaks, his S3 was the culprit and he leaked himself.
Brilliant!
At least President Trump knows how to use an iPhone.
Twit.
Agreed..yet we elected him TWICE!
Agent Orange is the twit, twit and he was installed by putin – fake president twit.
“He was installed by Putin.” Keep telling yourselves that and the Democrat Party will go from the mere regional party it is today, to totally defunct before you know it.
I trust you will enjoy watching your grandchildren die from drinking coal slurry.
I feel sorry for them. I don’t feel sorry for you.
(And don’t nitpick with the literal sentence. You know what I mean.)
How much of so-called global warming is man-made?
And how much is due to things well outside of human control?
BTW, I love the taste of coal slurry in the morning and I FULLY BACK President Trump’s roll-back of every last one of Obalahblah’s stupid “global warming” edicts.
And, oh yeah: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!!
Well, you are at least making progress. Not so many years ago, the GOP vehemently claimed climate change was entirely driven by natural forces with no human influence. Now you and others are beginning to ask the right question, namely, to what degree are the current climate trends influenced by human activities, such as adding billions of tons of CO2 to the Earth’s atmosphere.
Unfortunately, you are still quite far behind in understanding the current climatological models and data, as is made evident by your utter disdain for any “global warming” edicts. The fact that no one can definitively answer your question does not mean that human-influenced global warming is not occurring, or that we do not need to take any proactive steps to avoid the worst consequences. The Earth is an extremely complex system to model, and the GOP has been relentless in denying funding to gather the data needed to improve our knowledge and our models. But we will succeed despite the party of “no” obstructionists, who have just recently recently found that they are incredibly ineffective even when they control the Office of the President, Senate, and House.
I do not know why people who claim to be focused on open markets and free enterprise and and believe in laissez faire are so enamored with the current President or attempting to protect jobs that are going to disappear anyway rather than support the new industry of renewable energy. There are already more jobs in renewable energy in the U.S. than in oil, gas, and coal combined. And renewable energy is already cost-competitive with fossil fuels in some areas, even discounting the adverse environmental impacts of fossil fuels. Think about it with your brain, not your gut or your RNC card.
My mother’s side of the family go way back in West Virginia and mined coal through many booms and busts. They saw the strip mining companies come in to rape the land and dump the waste into the valleys to foul the streams with sulfur and other contaminants. I have personally seen a strip mining operation…have you, Fwhatever? I seriously doubt it given your attitude.
Besides, nothing Trump does will result in bringing back a lot of miners because strip mining and long wall mining does not require as much labor as the old coal mining techniques. Trump may success in slowing the decline of coal for a little while, but at the expense of the environment. And it will do relatively little to help the workers in West Virginia in the end. The people of West Virginia and other coal mining regions need to look forward, not backwards. They need to plan for the jobs of tomorrow, not the lost jobs of yesteryear. Consider the farming industry, which used to occupy the majority of the workers in the U.S. Modern equipment and techniques farm more land with relatively few people. The same is true of highly automated factories versus the old assembly line. That is why I have long maintained that some manufacturing may come back to the U.S. for high value-added products like the iPhone, but it won’t create a massive number of jobs because of the automation.
I don’t know why the GOP has such disdain for people who value the environment. I don’t know why the GOP values profits and wealth over people. But your children and grandchildren may very well curse your names in the decades to come.
“There are already more jobs in renewable energy in the U.S. than in oil, gas, and coal combined. ”
utter horseshït.
Global warming, REBRANDED, as “climate change” by the Left because it did not poll well is a complex issue.
“OWNING THE WEATHER 2025” is a 1996 government
report that will twist everyone’s noodle on the subject:

When it comes to your political and numerous hateful posts of President Trump, I give you a grade of F.
When it comes to your cheerleading eyes wide shut support of Apple I give you a grade of A+ (for effort). But unfortunately a FAIL for reality …
Says the twat.
Mmmm, WRONG GOTCHA. You’re talking about the FORMER president …
Down votes for speaking the truth just makes my day. Thanks, Clint.
It took so long because he was too busy playing golf.
I do recall the complaints about Obama playing golf, even though Bush played quite a few rounds, himself. Yet the same GOP supporters do not seem to have a problem spending tends of millions (and rapidly climbing) supporting Melania in New York and Trump flying to his Mar-a-Lago resort most weekends.
If you are too biased to apply the same level of scrutiny and the same rules to all politicians, regardless of party affiliation, then you are a fool.
Finally some good news coming from the White House!
Well, compared to the last president, who did not use an iPhone, appointed Lucy Koh to overturn the domestic ruling and give $amsung a big break, this is welcome news.
So he can now more efficiently roll back attempts to prevent environmental disaster. #dumbarse
Yes, but the big news on everyone’s mind is what sort of underwear does the chump wear, Sir Dignity, Depends the mind reels at the possibilities.
Silk Depends, definitely.
The former administration primarily used Blackberry devices. I don’t see a problem with that. All the immature attacks about Obama pale in comparison to your hero, and idiot who used a 2012 Samsung Galaxy G3 for 5 years – even after he was issued a secure device upon arriving to the White House — and whose Twitter account was registered to a private Gmail address. How come all the scorn you pile onto all other Android users not apply to Trump?
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/26/trump-android-samsung-phone-security-hacks
Knowing what a hypocrite Trump is for digital security and privacy, when shall we all chant “Lock Him Up”?
By the way, the Russian army hacked Android phones used by the Ukranian army. The android phones were perfect GPS targeting coordinates used by Russian artillery and used to track troop movements. Don’t think Donald’s Russian friends aren’t able to drop one on his fat ass too.
