President Donald Trump is living in the White House, but he has held on to his unsecured Android cell phone, according to [link:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/us/politics/president-trump-white-house.html?_r0a New York Times report]. Per the Times, Trump uses his phone when he's alone at his new home:

Mr. Trumps wife, Melania, went back to New York on Sunday night with their 10-year-old son, Barron, and so Mr. Trump has the television and his old, unsecured Android phone, to the protests of some of his aides to keep him company. That was the case after 9 p.m. on Tuesday, when Mr. Trump appeared to be reacting to Bill OReillys show on Fox News, which was airing a feature on crime in Chicago.

It appears that Trump's latest tweets were sent from an Android device, suggesting that he used his unsecured personal cell phone at the White House.

The latest news follow a New York Times report last week that Trump had handed in his unsecured Android for a secure device, as former President Barack Obama did.

9. Frankly Anonymous seems like a paper tiger.

I wish they could do what they claim - but I've never seen anything impressive coming from them. I'd be happy to have them prove me wrong and embarrass the hell out of Twittler but I ain't holding my breath.

10. I agree; that's why I said " or somebody."

I was hoping somebody more qualified than this Luddite would pick up the ball and run with it.
