Trump Claims ‘I Rarely Use A Cellphone’ In Tweet Sent From iPhone

President Donald Trump blasted a bombshell New York Times report that Russia and China are spying on calls made from his unsecured personal cell phones in a pair of tweets on Thursday morning, claiming the report was “boring” and “soooo wrong.”

The so-called experts on Trump over at the New York Times wrote a long and boring article on my cellphone usage that is so incorrect I do not have time here to correct it. I only use Government Phones, and have only one seldom used government cell phone. Story is soooo wrong!

The New York Times has a new Fake Story that now the Russians and Chinese (glad they finally added China) are listening to all of my calls on cellphones. Except that I rarely use a cellphone, & when I do it’s government authorized. I like Hard Lines. Just more made up Fake News!

Despite claiming “I rarely use a cellphone” in his early-morning tweet, CBS News’ Sara Cook noticed that both of the president’s tweets were sent from an iPhone.

In fact, all eight of Trump’s Wednesday tweets were sent via the Twitter app on his iPhone.

AFP correspondent Andrew Beatty claimed to have witnessed the president call up a “senior staffer” from what appeared to be his personal phone.

I watched a senior staffer take a call from POTUS to her personal phone from what she said was his personal phone. https://t.co/pV54xeRGty
