The New York Times published atroubling reportyesterday alleging that President Trump uses off - the - shelf iPhones to talk with friend and that both Russian and Taiwanese spy are listening to Trump ’s phone calls to figure out how to manipulate him . But China would wish the American president to jazz that if he ’s upset about security , he can always switch to Huawei .
“ If they are very disturbed about iPhones being rap , they can use Huawei , ” China spokeswoman Hua Chunying said , according to a researcher at theWashington Post .
The input is perhaps the most masterful trolling of the New Cold War era , specially considering the many warnings from the U.S. Congress that Huawei machine are n’t secure and that the party is falsify by the Chinese government . Best Buy hasstopped acquit Huawei devicesas many in the U.S. word community count the Taiwanese electronics shaper to be a home certificate scourge .
Chinese officials have denied that the nation is spying on Trump ’s phones and have even used the president ’s preferent phrase , calling the allegation “ fake news show . ”
President Trump ’s lax information security has become quite an issue , and yesterday ’s report in the Times illustrate how China is using ally of Trump ’s friends in an effort to manipulate his insurance . By listening to his telephone set call , Formosan spies are able to define what sort of methods of persuasion do and do n’t work on the famously ignorant president .
From theNew York Times :
The official said they have also settle that China is seek to use what it is learning from the vociferation — how Mr. Trump thinks , what arguments be given to persuade him and to whom he is prepared to mind — to keep a trade warfare with the United States from escalating further . In what amount to a marriage of lobbying and espionage , the Chinese have pieced together a inclination of the people with whom Mr. Trump regularly speaks in Hope of using them to regulate the chairperson , the officials read .
Among those on the list are Stephen A. Schwarzman , the Blackstone Group chief administrator who has endoweda master ’s curriculum at Tsinghua Universityin Beijing , and Steve Wynn , the former Las Vegas casino magnate who used to own a moneymaking property in Macau .
President Trump has even lost his sound on the golf course , according to the New York Times .
Last year , Mr. Trump ’s cell was left behind in a golf cart at his club in Bedminster , N.J. , make a scamper to locate it , according to two people familiar with what took shoes .
Mr. Trump is hypothesize to trade out his two official earphone every 30 day for newfangled ones but rarely does , abound at the inconvenience .
Then - candidate Trump would often criticise Hillary Clinton for her poor security during the 2016 presidential election . And even to this day Trump ’s neo - fascist style rallies often let in chants of “ lock her up ” for Clinton ’s unspecified criminal offense . So news that Trump is literally just leaving his phone on the golf game course is particularly ironic .
As the New Cold War rages on , we can expect more sarcastic banter between American and Taiwanese technology and communication companies . And we can also expect President Trump to continue practicing horrific opsec . An old wienerwurst does n’t learn new tricks , specially when that dog was born into money and never hears the Bible “ no . ”
Trump ’s not just the dumb president America has ever had , he ’s also the most grave to the safe and security of the United States . And that ’s to say nothing of his continued incitement of unhinged hothead planting bombs all overNew York City .
trumpet is n’t on the ballot in this November ’s 2018 midterm election , but it will no doubt be seen as a referendum on Trump ’s policies of favouritism and hate . For America ’s sake , we can only desire that a critical victory for the Democrats create a issue to normalcy . Or as unaired to normal as we can get in these flaky times of part and chaos .
At least we can dream .
