Trump Is A Threat To American National Security

Posted by Warm Southern Breeze on Sunday, December 8, 2019

Well… duh!

CNN is reporting that President Donald Trump has continued to use his personal cell phone to make calls, despite repeated warnings from his staff that the practice could leave him vulnerable to foreign surveillance.

“The Democratic impeachment inquiry has resurrected concerns about the security and potential vulnerability of the President’s communications. Witness testimony revealed some top officials repeatedly failed to follow protocol intended to prevent sensitive phone conversations, including those involving the President, from being intercepted by foreign intelligence services.

“Several former US officials have told CNN it is highly likely that US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland’s cell phone call to Trump from a restaurant in Ukraine over the summer was picked up by intelligence agencies from numerous foreign countries, including Russia.

“CNN previously reported that Trump has given his personal number to foreign leaders on multiple occasions, outright ignoring security protocols. According to The Washington Post, Trump handing out his personal line led to one-on-one calls that even top White House aides did not know about.

“The New York Times reported last year that Chinese and Russian spies have listened in on Trump’s calls on his personal cell phone and the President’s aides have told him that Russian spies were listening in on a regular basis.

“Senior officials view moving Trump away from unsecure lines as a lost cause at this point, one person said. For a brief period earlier in his term, Trump agreed to stop using his personal device, but quit after he realized all of his calls could then be monitored on a call log list. Former White House chief of staff John Kelly had staff monitor the list routinely while he was still at the White House.

Of course, there’s also his now-infamous tweet of a highly classified satellite image of an Iranian missile site where a launch failed, which demonstrated to the world the superior surveillance capabilities we have.

It was NOT a smart move.

But what does that son-of-a-bitch care?

Intelligence veterans are pulling their hair out over Trump’s ‘outrageous’ and ‘moronic’ decision to tweet out a photo from a classified briefing

“Trump may have blown “the cover on a multi-decade, multi-president campaign to disrupt Iranian missile and nuclear development with minimal loss of life,” wrote Alex Stamos, the Director of the Stanford Internet Observatory and adjunct professor at the Center for International Security and Cooperation.

“President Donald Trump’s decision to tweet out a photo of an Iranian launch pad that he got from a classified intelligence briefing this week has astonished national-security and intelligence veterans.

“One analyst said the photo was likely taken by a classified US spy satellite. The US rarely disseminates such imagery, and Trump’s move to release the photo presents a goldmine for foreign intelligence services, who can use it to make inferences about the US’s aerial surveillance capabilities.

“Robert Deitz, a former top lawyer at the CIA and the National Security Agency, agreed Trump made a “serious mistake” and told Insider “the Russians and the Chinese will be very happy to study this.”

“Trump’s tweet immediately set off alarm bells in the military and intelligence community because the photo was a much higher resolution and better quality than the commercial satellite images of the explosion that were publicly available.”

Sure, as “Commander in Chief” he has the ultimate and absolute right and ability to declassify literally ANYTHING. In fact, he has the authority to tell ALL of America’s military secrets. It just wouldn’t be a very wise, nor smart thing to do. And, realistically – like it, or not – he couldn’t be charged with any crime for so doing.

And so, that’s why his tweeting of this image was so ultimately STUPID – just like him.

And, when his lips are moving, he’s lying.

There is NO truth in him.

He CANNOT tell the truth.

So, for the Liar in Chief to tweet in response the news story that – “Fake News is reporting that I am “still using personal cell phone for calls despite repeated security warnings.” This is totally false information and reporting. I haven’t had a personal cell phone for years. Only use government approved and issued phones. Retract!” – is only pure Trump bullshittery.

Face it, America… POS45 Trumpanzee is a stone cold loser, a buffoon of unparalleled proportions -AND- a genuine threat to American National Security.
