When Trump Phones Friends, the Chinese and the Russians Listen and Learn
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/24/us/politics/trump-phone-security.html
When President Trump calls old friends on one of his iPhones
to gossip, gripe or solicit their latest take on how he is
doing, American intelligence reports indicate that Chinese
spies are often listening -- and putting to use invaluable
insights into how to best work the president and affect
administration policy, current and former American officials
said. Mr. Trump's aides have repeatedly warned him that his
cellphone calls are not secure, and they have told him that
Russian spies are routinely eavesdropping on the calls, as
well. But aides say the voluble president, who has been
pressured into using his secure White House landline more
often these days, has still refused to give up his iPhones.
White House officials say they can only hope he refrains from
discussing classified information when he is on them.

So, Trump's cellphone use is being routinely monitored by our
adversaries. Perhaps part of his plan?
