Donald Trump loves to tweet. Now that he is the President of a nation, he is supposed to use a more secure and basic cell phone, but he has chosen to continue using his personal Android phone.
Listen to this NPR News story once or twice before you read the transcript and be ready to discuss the topics of mobile phone security and social media usage specifically in the role of a modern president or politician. *Find the blue play button on the upper lefthand side of the screen, as well as a link to the Transcript if you'd like to see the words after you've listened.
Here are some things to listen for:
