Day 644: Boring.


Listen Later

1/ Trump dismissed a report that Chinese and Russian spies were eavesdropping on his cellphone conversations, calling the report “boring� and “soooo wrong!� Trump’s aides have repeatedly warned him that his calls from his personal iPhone are not secure and that Chinese and Russian spies are listening, but Trump refuses to give up his iPhone.
