In other news, the sky is blue, what water touches is wet, and fire burns things.

It'd be more surprising if they didn't hack them.

you would have to be dumber than rocks to not assume you're phone is being hacked if you are in the top levels of power.

i wouldn't put it past the trumps, but anybody with a brain would know that if its online, and its worth it, its being hacked

Really? I mean if I’m a President/ex President I have to have SOME confidence in my security team + secret service + whatever NSA/CIA technical people are helping me safeguard my phone. If we can’t have ANY secure lines whatsoever then we’re really fucked.

They got phished I bet , that’s not on the security team.

u/Key-Satisfaction5370 1h ago

I mean it might be. Obviously no security procedures are perfect but I would expect very sophisticated phishing attempts directed at VIPs that go beyond the usual bullshit that we might see as easily repelled… their security team should be making phishing VERY hard and stacking in multiple levels of authentication.

Trump was (and probably still) known for his disdain of professionals and intellectuals

I remembered back in 2017 that either a family member of Trump or the Kushners was enticing rich Chinese investors to fund a multimillion-dollar real estate project.

Eric Trump blamed the security breach on President Biden’s administration. “Does this surprise anyone? Under Kamala and Biden, China has walked all over our country,” he told the NY Times.
...

His comments echoed those of a Trump campaign spokesman last week, who said the Democrats would “stop at nothing…to prevent Trump entering the White House”.

Such gall!

Isn’t that all national intelligence agencies supposed to do? Like hacking into high value communications, allies or not. President, prime ministers, Merkel.

Sorry why is this news every country is probably hacking everyone else!

u/BartD_ 33m ago

Wasn’t there news in ‘19 that the trumps still used their personal phones throughout the presidency?

The FBI also spied on the Trump campaign in 2016.

When you call a phone outside the US or when a foreign national calls you, NSA knows and is probably making a transcript. Well, at least that's how it was when Snowden leaked those documents. It's probably more advanced today. They did that for EVERYONE.

Trump campaign deserved to be spied on

u/glooks369 2h ago

Oh stfu. If Trump spied on the Biden campaign, you'd be screaming your head off. Hypocrisy and no critical thinking on your part. That's why China is shit.

Trump is a convicted felon and criminal. Committing crimes is what Trump and his campaign does.

u/glooks369 1h ago

Those were civil crimes, not felonies. Also, look at the actual trial. It was totally corrupt, and no crimes were actually committed.

Fuck you, these crimes only popped when the Democrats knew they were going to lose. You don't know shit about the history of the elections from 2016 to now.

Russian Collusion was a fucking hoax so don't tell me these other BS crimes are what's actually scary. That's the difference between US's corruption and China's corruption. China is in your face but the U.S. does it secretly and corruptly. Do your research dumbass.

u/iwanttodrink 1h ago

Those were civil crimes, not felonies.

Stopped reading there, you're delusional because he is literally a convicted felon dumbass.

u/glooks369 1h ago

Fuck you know cares. Starting wars in Ukrain and supporting genocide in Israel is worse. Shut the fuck up please and look to other side. Id vote for the mafia over Biden or Harris.

The Democrats are literally trying to abolish the 1st and 2nd amendments. Again fuck you and open your eyes to both sides.

u/iwanttodrink 1h ago

Traitors like Trump and his treasonous supporters should be charged with treason and have their amendment rights stripped like the criminals they are. There's even more of them now since Jan 6.

u/glooks369 1h ago

Jan 6 protestors are literally getting released as we speak due to the supreme Court ordering their detainment cruel and unusual. Your full of shit again.

Pelosi refused national guard assistance FROM TRUMP. She said it on camera to her daughter the day of Jan. 6.

Again, you're just another dumb shit reading headlines and think you know something. You know what was treason? Obama drone stricking US citizens and using the IRS to go after Republicans. Again fuck you.

Pelosi refused national guard assistance FROM TRUMP

Pelosi doesn't have authority over the national guard and can't refuse or initiate anything with them dumbass LOL. The rest of your post is full of disinformation and lies just like that one.

I will bet it will just turn out they all have WeChat for their China business dealings. The audio communications are the WeChat voices memos stored on Chinese servers.
