Chinese and Russian spies are listening in on calls by President Trump, who has often ignored warnings from aides that his iPhones aren't secure.

When President Trump calls old friends on one of his iPhones to gossip, gripe or solicit their latest take on how he is doing, American intelligence reports indicate that Chinese spies are often listening — and putting to use invaluable insights into how to best work the president and affect administration policy, current and former American officials said.

Mr. Trump’s aides have repeatedly warned him that his cellphone calls are not secure, and they have told him that Russian spies are routinely eavesdropping on the calls, as well. But aides say the voluble president, who has been pressured into using his secure White House landline more often these days, has still refused to give up his iPhones. White House officials say they can only hope he refrains from discussing classified information when he is on them.

Nobody else here is going to express empathy and concern for the mental well being of the Russian and Chinese agents tasked with listening to all of Trump's cell phone calls? You monsters!

This is the party that spent two years pretending to be outraged that Hillary Clinton used an unclassified network to respond to an email about a phone call to the newly-elected president of Malawi. But their reaction to the president of the United States chatting merrily away on a phone that we know the Russians and Chinese are listening in on? Apparently nothing.

But, you know, President Obama once saluted a Marine while holding a coffee cup in his hand. So I guess there’s plenty of justified outrage on both sides, amirite?

Imagine being the spies who's job it is to listen to Trump's conversations and then having to write up a report about what the fuck it was that he was talking about.

Unhinged rant - couldn't follow.

New intern is a five at best - White House needs better hiring standards.

From the OP article:

Administration officials said they had further confidence he was not spilling secrets because he rarely digs into the details of the intelligence he is shown and is not well versed in the operational specifics of military or covert activities.

The silver lining in his stupidity and laziness?
