I think it's pretty clear, with the most charitable possible reading of this article and your comment, that the root cause is not an issue with contacts on his phone.

The root cause is quite clearly a complete lack of respect that Trump has for the American people: He does. not. care. about the country's security or anybody in it.

The root cause isn't some stupid argument about contacts in his phone. The root causes are arrogance [1], hate towards American people [2], and corrupted power [3]. I'll cite these.

[1] He says he is the smartest person in the world and does not need to confer with experts about anything. Why would he need a secure phone then?

[2] He has directly insulted American citizens who care about the national security risks he poses. He uses terrorist-like language to describe Americans. He doesn't care about his phone being hacked.

[3] He acts like he thinks he is King. He acts like there are no rules for him, and the Republican Congress makes that fact true - for now.

This has nothing to do with technology and the solution doesn't have anything to do with technology either.
