Trump warned of ‘great danger’ posed by Clinton’s emails. But he avoids security procedures for his own phone.

Basically nothing was sacred to Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign, except Hillary Clinton's email account. This was the one thing he insisted needed to be done by the book. And in Trump's telling, Clinton's choice to use a private email server had grave consequences. At one point Trump said he was “sure” China had hacked her server and that the whole thing was “putting all of America and our citizens in danger, great danger.”

You'd think a guy who felt so strongly about that would go above and beyond to protect his personal communications once he became president. Apparently, you'd think wrong.

Politico is reporting that Trump has eschewed the normal security procedures when it comes to his personal cellphones. He has at least two — one for making calls and one for Twitter — but the call-capable phone has a camera and a microphone, which was against protocol in the Obama administration because those things could be used to monitor a president's activities and movements. As for the Twitter phone, Trump has reportedly gone as long as five months without having it checked by security experts, despite phones being checked every 30 days during the Obama administration.

Trump's reasoning for resisting the regular security sweep? It's “too inconvenient,” according to one official.

1. Yeah....and he complains about "spying" too

You can't make this stuff up.

Trump is singularly the laziest creature on the planet

2. Well, he kinda has a point:

it's not as if anything he ever says is of importance nor can it be relied on as "intel" since he contradicts himself with every breath/tweet.
