WASHINGTON (AP) — Long before he tweeted about wiretaps, Donald Trump worried about who was listening in on his calls.

As a real estate mogul and reality TV star — well before he alleged on Twitter that former President Barack Obama wiretapped his phones during the campaign — Trump expressed regular concern that his phone lines were not secure, according to three former Trump Organization executives.

The White House Communications Office used to provide the president with a portable secure phone wherever he went. His desk phone was also secured.

“white house communications office used to provide the president with a portable secure phone”

With these deep state spooks of Barry’s nothing is secure.

Agree. Also concerns me that Kim Dotcom on Twitter said Trump is in danger.

Nobody had accused Trump of being dumb. He does not use e-mails either.

Just because they are out to get you doesn’t mean you’re paranoid.

If you like your privacy, you can’t keep it. No one has secure phones or tvs or computures or toasters.

I’m sure Trump had his own people inside the democrat machine and would hear from thing what the democrats had that there was no way for them to get without some sort of wiretap. He’s not a babe in the woods in spite of the fact that he isn’t a life long politician.

Private conversations are best whispered, face-to-face, with loud music playing in the background. Maybe this is why Valerie Jarrett has moved in with Obama.

The AP citing anonymous sources that supposedly worked for Trump for decades—?
Fake, totally made up news on steroids, with an agenda on steroids: to float the notion that Trump is mentally ill, then go the 25th Amendment route.

It was confirmed he was spied on, so not in his head.

Music and background noise can be filtered out.

Since Comrade Valerie Jarrett has openly advocated for blood in the streets resistance, and moved into Obama’s Sedition Compound, would not a FISA request be in order for DJT to file?

He continues to prove to me he knows how they'd try to destroy him and he knows how to fight back.

Pray for President Trump to persevere.
