It’s hard to imagine many politicians – particularly one about to become president of the United States – calling back an unknown number on their cellphone.
With Trump, it’s simply how business gets done, whether he’s fielding calls from real estate partners and longtime friends or foreign leaders and congressional lawmakers in the weeks after the election.
But as Trump prepares to take the oath of office Friday, the future of his ever-present Android smartphone is now a matter of national security. On Thursday, he told a friend that he had given up his phone, as security agencies had urged him to do.

More Americans to buy Canadian homes after Trump’s inauguration
– moneysense.ca
(Gage Skidmore/Flickr)Today’s the day. Donald Trump’s inauguration day. The day Mr. Trump becomes the 45th President of the United States. It’s also the perfect day to examine American interest in Canadian real estate property.
According to data released today by Royal LePage, a national real estate services provider, there’s been a surge in the number of Americans researching Canadian real estate markets. In fact, American web traffic on royallepage.ca, the company’s consumer real estate portal, has been highly correlated to recent U.S. political events. Turns out, U.S.-originated sessions have climbed 210.1% year-over-year the week after Donald Trump’s victory was announced in November—and surged 329.0% the day following the U.S. Presidential election results were announced.
