“In the last election it was Hillary’s emails. ‘This is terrible.’ ‘Hillary’s emails!’ We were hearing Hillary’s emails everywhere,” Obama said Friday at a campaign rally in Milwaukee.
"They didn't care about emails. And you know how you know? Because if they did, they'd be up in arms right now as the Chinese are listening to the president's iPhone that he leaves in his golf cart,” he continued. “It turns out, I guess it wasn't that important.”

The New York Times reported Wednesday that Russia and China are eavesdropping on Trump’s personal phone, which he still uses despite repeated requests from national security officials that he stick to more secured landlines.
A day later, NBC News reported that officials are increasingly concerned that Trump is using unsecured cellphones to discuss sensitive matters with informal advisers.
Trump pushed back against the Times's report on Thursday, calling it “soooo wrong” in a tweet.
The so-called experts on Trump over at the New York Times wrote a long and boring article on my cellphone usage that is so incorrect I do not have time here to correct it. I only use Government Phones, and have only one seldom used government cell phone. Story is soooo wrong!
