Trump warned of ‘great danger’ posed by Clinton’s emails. Naturally, he rejects security procedures for his own phone.

Basically nothing was sacred to Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign, except Hillary Clinton's email account. This was the one thing he insisted needed to be handled by the book. And in Trump's telling, Clinton's choice to use a private email server while she was secretary of state had grave consequences. At one point, Trump said he was “sure” that China had hacked her server and that the whole thing was “putting all of America and our citizens in danger, great danger.”

You'd think a guy who felt so strongly about that would go above and beyond to protect his personal communications once he became president. But apparently you'd be wrong.

Politico is reporting that Trump has eschewed the normal security procedures when it comes to his personal cellphones. He has at least two — one for making calls and one for Twitter — but the call-capable phone has a camera and a microphone, which was against protocol in the Obama administration because those things could be used to monitor a president's activities and movements. As for the Twitter phone, Trump reportedly has gone as many as five months without having it checked by security experts, despite phones being checked every 30 days during the Obama administration.

Trump's reasoning for resisting the regular security sweep? It's “too inconvenient,” one official said.

That sound you hear is 60 million Clinton supporters tearing out their hair. You may recall that this was exactly the justification Clinton used for her private server: convenience. “When I got to work as secretary of state, I opted for convenience to use my personal email account, which was allowed by the State Department, because I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two,” she said.

Whether convenience was truly Clinton's reason for the private server is up for debate (it certainly seems possible that she was attempting to avoid disclosure). But even if you set that aside, there are eerie parallels between what Trump attacked Clinton for and what he's doing now.

“Clinton’s home email server that she lied to the American people about was a profound national security risk,” Trump wrote in one Facebook post. “Hillary Clinton has bad judgment and is unfit to serve as President.”

He said in July 2016 in a campaign speech: “This is not just extreme carelessness with classified material, which is still totally disqualifying. This is calculated, deliberate, premeditated misconduct.”

He added on the eve of the election: “It's believed that no less than five foreign intelligence agencies successfully hacked into Hillary's illegal insecure server. In other words, Hillary's corrupt criminal scheme put the safety of every American family in danger; that's what's happened.”

A lack of regular security checks on Trump's cellphone may not be on the same scale as a “home-brew” private email server, but the practical implications are similar — the possibility that foreign actors could gain access and use it against Trump and the United States. Trump seemed very bothered by that possibility as a candidate; he seems far less bothered as president — almost as though he wasn't really that concerned in the first place.

A White House aide insisted to Politico that technological advances have made for more secure devices and necessitate less procedural security. But Trump went big on the importance of taking every precaution as a candidate. Matching the Obama administration's protocols would seem a very basic way to avoid any possibility of the “great danger” Trump warned about as a candidate.

You mean to tell me all that talk about cybersecurity was just projection? I am shocked!
I just didn't expect this kind of sloppy lack of security from the man who didn't enable basic social media security settings on both his own and the official POTUS twitter account for weeks after the inauguration, which allowed anyone to see a partially redacted version of the linked email addresses (a gmail on his personal account) and a partial phonenumber.
Other members of the administration such as Mike Pence, also known as [email protected] (yes, really), had similar issues but Pence was quickest to resolve it.

There were 2 who didn't bother enabling security settings and change to government-issued email addresses even after everyone else did. One of those was Michael Flynn, who used his private company email ltg@michaeltflynn to secure his social media. The second one was none other than Jared Kusher, who never bothered enabling basic security on twitter for months with an email address that is very easily deciphered from the redactions; [email protected]

Politico also reported a relatively long time ago that Jared and Ivanka were using private emails in the WH.
I know that Scott Pruitt has also used private email to conduct government business, though that was back in Oklahoma when he was the state AG.

If I had to make a guess, Trump's unsecured phone is probably far from the only security threat that should be dealt with. Especially when you read stories about the chaos in the WH, particularly in the Personnel Office. I'll add a separate link* to that below.



*Link mentioned earlier here.
It's from March 30th but I don't see it having improved by now. Something tells me that with chaos and people like this in the WH, I reckon it'd be a miracle if there aren't some glaring security flaws in there.
