Trump reportedly gave out his personal cell phone number to world leaders and US - Polidicks

US officials 'had no idea' Trump was making calls on cell phone

L O C K H I M U P

Why does he seem intent on jeopardizing the information security of the highest office in this country? And why aren't the people around him troubled by this fact? Shouldn't this be seriously worrisome to the Republicans as well as the Democrats? Shouldn't this be considered a sign of incompetence?

Title got cut off, could someone edit to "Trump reportedly gave out his personal cell phone number to world leaders" if it all doesn't fit?

Is this how that one guy prank called him?

He really is running the country like he's a CEO, not a President. This is a very bad thing.

It's difficult not going numb at this point

This is exactly why people voted for him.

This is exactly why the people who voted for him were wrong, and the people who stand by him are verified idiots. Congratulations on your successful vote to throw the credibility of the United States into the gutter, and significantly reduce our standing with our allies, and our power as a world leader. Take pride in what you strive for.

To break federal law and circumvent national security measures?

when i become president i'm going to invite all world leaders to my discord server

This is why he will win again. The democratic party is so focused on trivial matters that they will be unable to win the hearts and minds of the average American. Ironic considering if I even voted for him it would not have mattered due to the state being blue. Might I remind you that 44 let world leaders walk all over him as well as dismantled our military?

Since when the hell is national security a "trivial matter"? What the fuck

Because democrats think Stormy Daniels & a golden shower tape is a national security matter.

This thread has nothing to do with Stormy or tapes. It's about circumventing a secure contact system between countries. What the hell are you on about?

I mean the golden shower tape WOULD be a national security matter if it's real. It would mean he was compromised by a hostile foreign government.

trump: "eh we'll go to the list figure something out tommorow, then bullshit around for a few weeks playing the apprentice." for an appointee that will serve 20-30 years

They are if people can blackmail you for it with information.

This presidency is a strange situation where I'm not sure if the President of the United States is either incompetent or deliberately sabotaging his own nation and using incompetence as a cover

44 didn't let world leaders walk on him. The worst he did was bow or greet someone incorrectly, similar to how 45 did in North Korea, and equally as inconsequential. As for dismantling the military, I'm not sure what anecdotes you're pulling that from. Military spending as a dollar amount went up during 44's "reign" and stayed level as a percent of GDP. We remained active overseas, and we actually responded to threats from Russian powerplays. Not so much the case with 45. Republicans fucking smashed every morsel of scandal out of the e-mail servers, Benghazi, and anything else they could get Clinton on. All of which were pretty fucking stupid. Here we have 45 doing the same thing and now it's just "Lol not even a big deal, simmer down libs". If you fail to see the hypocrisy, then you are just as bad as the people you are fighting.

Not so much the case? Our military has actually fought and killed Russian soldiers in Syria under the current administration. Yet the media specifically ignores this because it doesn't fit their narrative.

This is hilarious because Hillary Clinton's email controversy was something Trump and the right would not shut up about and this is probably just as serious of a security concern that you're saying is trivial

Trump literally won by focusing on trivial matters. Is that something that only works on Republicans?

It probably seems pretty mild compared to that time he invited russian diplomats, ended up blabbing about some israeli secret intelligence without their consent and also never invited any western press to the event

Yep, Republicans are the best minmaxers at the political game. Freak out about Obama wearing a brown suit and putting dijon on burgers? Perfectly fine, freak out about 3/4 of the things Trump has ever done? Nope

Mike Pompeo said that "hundreds of Russians" had "met their match", and other US officials said that the attacks were coordinated with Russia and no Russian casualties were had. The Russians that supposedly died were those of the Wagner company, and were mercenaries. Not uniformed Russian soldiers. That would be like saying if Blackwater mercenaries died abroad it would be an attack on Americans. True, but wildly misleading. Cool narrative though.

We have the largest and highest funded military in the world, you are delusional if you think it's been "dismantled".

Friendly reminder for @seano12 that you have some open ends that need tidying.

Your cataclysmically funny use of the phrase "hearts and minds" reminds me of a similar usage from Vietnam: "LET ME WIN YOUR HEART AND MIND OR I'LL BURN YOUR GODDAMNED HUT DOWN".
