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.

At times he talked about possible listening devices and worried that he was being monitored, two executives said.

I did not say it was “in his head.”
To what are you referring?
I’m referring to the OP.

I wonder how much the communications industry has been in bed with the intelligence community over this.

There’s been a concerted effort to push consumers to VOD internet phone systems to replace the old land lines. I know it’s probably cheaper, but internet calls are also much easier to monitor.

Just something else to be paranoid about.

You either did not read, or did not understand, the Associated Press article, and thus you clearly did not understand my comment.
You keep arguing with what you think I said, not with what I actually said.

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

Oh yes, all kinds of 6 figure earning bureaucrats have been playing fast and loose with the law for years now. They are worried that they will no longer be working half days, getting paid large, and continuing life without the consequences of their law breaking!
