I get that Donald J. Trump wants to open up lines of communication between his office and those of other world leaders.<\/p>\n

The president’s motives appear to be noble.<\/p>\n

But hold on! He’s giving out his personal, private cellphone number to those other leaders? Is that what I’m hearing?<\/p>\n

Whoa, Mr. President!<\/p>\n

Cellphones aren’t secure. I keep hearing how they’re vulnerable to, um, hacking<\/em>. People can listen in. Bad people<\/em> can listen and do\u00a0terrible things in reaction to what they hear.<\/p>\n

And so the president of the United States wants to talk openly, and I presume candidly, with world leaders about the myriad problems facing the world.<\/p>\n

If the president wants to maintain open communications with other leaders, I have an idea. Let ’em call you on the secure line in the Oval Office, or in the Situation Room.<\/p>\n

Handing out personal cellphone numbers is fraught, shall we say, with some serious national security concerns. Don’t you think?<\/p>\n

And didn’t the president — when he was running for the office — bellow incessantly about all the alleged security breaches created by Hillary Clinton’s use of her personal e-mail server while she was secretary of state?<\/p>\n

I am shaking my head.<\/p>\n\n
