Trump keeps his unsecured phone, staff fears telling him facts
And some people wonder why so many people are angry and fearful that the man in the Oval Office acts like a clueless buffoon:
[R]eports about Trump indicate that he is “dogged by insecurity over his loss of the popular vote in the election and a persistent frustration that the legitimacy of his presidency is being challenged by Democrats and the media, aides and associates say.” This prompted him on Wednesday to say that he plans to launch an investigation into voter fraud, even though there is no merit to the claims that any significant fraud occurred at all (much less enough to account for Trump’s nearly 3 million vote deficit in the popular vote).
On the other hand, Trump is reportedly starting to enjoy living in the White House, although The New York Times article which also noted “Trump has the television — and his old, unsecured Android phone, to the protests of some of his aides — to keep him company.”
On Wednesday’s edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist painted a portrait of a White House staff failing to be candid with trump about the mess he is in:
Geist offered, “Donald Trump can’t stand hearing that somehow he’s not a legitimate president, that he won fewer votes than Hillary Clinton.”
“And his team can’t beat to tell him the truth,” Brzezinski chimed in. “That’s bad,” noting that Spicer is simply spouting things off from the James Brady Press Briefing Room, “because his boss wants to hear [them].”
Mike Barnicle added to POTUS directly, “Act like the President.”

How/ Why does he have time to watch TV? Seriously?
mea_mark January 26th, 2017 at 09:18
I can see him watching old ‘Green Acres’ re-runs and thinking, this is what America should be like, this will Make America Great Again. It’s divine (dysfunctional) inspiration for him.
Tommie January 26th, 2017 at 10:32
Haha!
The Original Just Me January 26th, 2017 at 10:56
NO, He watches Green Acres because SHE wore a lot of Nightgowns.
granpa.usthai January 27th, 2017 at 15:15
personally I think it’s probably because he wants to watch Arnold the pig pee pee.
The Original Just Me January 26th, 2017 at 10:55
He is NOT doing His job as President. THAT is a Full time position.
Larry Schmitt January 26th, 2017 at 08:44
“Acts like” a clueless buffoon. Okay, we’ll go with that.
The Original Just Me January 26th, 2017 at 10:54
You are Wrong. He doesn’t ACT like a Clueless Buffoon. HE IS ONE !
eyelashviper January 26th, 2017 at 10:43
So, he still uses an unsecured phone and no one stops him?????
How about the phone company, for starters? Do we have to wait until he blabs out classified infor to Joe Schmoe from msnbc or to Alex Jones, while raving into his phone?
The Original Just Me January 26th, 2017 at 10:53
Shades of Hilary’s Endless Email Investigations. NO Cell Phone connection is Secure.
The Original Just Me January 26th, 2017 at 10:51
And THESE are the People who were telling us How Bad and Dumb Hilary IS ?????? Their views of Reality are being blocked by their Colon Walls.

Gutless wonders maybe ? ;)
The Original Just Me January 26th, 2017 at 10:57
Brainless Idiots is more like it.
oldfart January 26th, 2017 at 11:03
I get the feeling that the people who have the ear of the president
are smarter and much more dangerous than tRump is.
THAT’S what worries me the most.
Suzanne McFly January 26th, 2017 at 11:27
Exactly
Larry Schmitt January 26th, 2017 at 11:39
And if trump is dumped, Pence is not exactly a bargain. Can you say Christian Sharia Law?
oldfart January 26th, 2017 at 11:45
DAMNED we do, DAMNED we don’t.
That’s the reality.
granpa.usthai January 27th, 2017 at 15:13
just thinking about Nixon and the way they tossed Spiro Agnew (remember him?) under the bus first to try to stop any more damage to the party.
trump IS a Republican, right?
The Original Just Me January 26th, 2017 at 23:16
Let’s see, smarter than trump ? That would take like a third grader ???
granpa.usthai January 27th, 2017 at 15:09
no doubt, mostly.
Foundryman January 26th, 2017 at 15:55
He should feel insecure about his loss, we are coming to get him and won’t stop until he’s thrown out. The very idea, no FACT that Russia tried to manipulate and influence for his benefit is all the reason anyone needs to impeach his sorry ass.
granpa.usthai January 27th, 2017 at 15:08
IMPEACH THE REPUBLICAN WHITE HOUSE!
if trump is guilty, then there HAS TO BE a criminal conspiracy going on at all levels of the executive branch.
Foundryman January 27th, 2017 at 21:52
You can bet the republicans in the house and Senate are in on it too.
Roctuna January 26th, 2017 at 19:26
Unsecured phones? Private servers? Lock ’em up!

Staff fears the trumpster
Could there be a meltdown soon ?
I hope it goes viral
The Original Just Me January 26th, 2017 at 23:14
Let’s Hope together maybe there is strength in numbers.
robert January 27th, 2017 at 04:00
A mutiny ?
Go on……..
whatthe46 January 27th, 2017 at 00:05
all you have to do is keep reminding him that he lost by 3 million and that Obama’s inaug, both of them were larger than his, and that the women’s march was much larger than his 200k crowd of no body’s. and that 60 other countries joined us by marching against his sorry ass as well. all of that is causing his meltdowns.
robert January 27th, 2017 at 04:04
The trumpster doesn’t want to hear about popular votes. It’s mostly illegals who put Hillary over the top
Someday he will find those illegal votes once the domestic waterboarding starts
granpa.usthai January 27th, 2017 at 15:06
well the only real loss he’s having is from those who voted for him,
I’m thinking 2018 will be the real turnaround -matters of national security breeches never really go away.
