How oddly easily, if you know a person or two, it is to get hold of POTUS to be

Yet Trump remains omnipresent in American life, constantly communicating with the public via Twitter and media interviews without the varnish of news releases or the protection of handlers. Whether it is Meryl Streep’s remarks about him or the question of Russian hacking, no topic is too mundane or charged for him to lend his voice to it.
And he answers his personal cellphone, something that acquaintances and colleagues speak of in almost reverential terms. As he prepares to enter the White House, Trump is resisting his advisers’ efforts to take away his cellphone or at least restrict his use of it, said one person close to him, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal details of private conversations. They worry about national security; he worries about losing touch.
When Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) needs to reach Trump, the Foreign Relations Committee chairman does not have to go through an aide or schedule a meeting. He said he simply dials Trump’s cellphone directly, and the president-elect answers, even though Corker’s number registers as “No Caller ID.”
“I’ve never seen anything relative to access like this. Unbelievable,” Corker told reporters recently. “I don’t think there’s likely been a White House like this, maybe ever, but certainly in modern history.”

I don't see this any different than Obama. Obama kept his blackberry; they went through it and secured it to no one but his contacts able to call and other things I am sure...
Tell me that Obamas people over in Congress couldn't dial him up? We know the BCC had a hotline to Obama.

Trump has been over to my place every week for the last two years for poker night. Pence is a really nice guy. Ben Carson curses like a sailor when he a few drinks. Next week we are moving the game over to the White House.

Probably a good thing, imo.

It's a good thing he's not the Secretary of State.

I will say access is one thing Trump does on an unprecedented level. Don't know that that's a good thing considering all the yarn he spins, but I guess it's better than him answering a bunch of randos with true and closely-held secrets.
