On Wednesday, the New York Timespublished an article about how Donald Trump is adjusting to The White House and, in passing, mentioned that he's still using his old, unsecured Android phone, even though some of his aides are explaining to him why he obviously shouldn't:
The article's author, Maggie Haberman, says the reason is almost certainly so he can continue to fire off tweets from his personal account. As you might remember, a previous report said that Trump gave up his phone for a more secure device that was approved by the CIA, though it's understandable if you missed it due to the sheer volume of stories being pumped out about him. Haberman explained to a Twitter follower how those reports don't conflict:
We salute him for his ability to give it almost a week.
While this would seem like a bizarre justification for keeping this phone, considering Obama had a Twitter account when he was president (I mean, right?), the NYT sentence ended up leading to full blown articles *clears throat* and also some outrage by Twitter users. As it's always worth noting, Twitter pretty much survives on outrage. In this case, though, you have journalists/verified accounts tweeting instead of cartoon frogs with MAGA hats:
Here's hoping no foreign hackers read this.
