Donald Trump is just hours away from being inaugurated as the next President of the United States.

The President-elect will take office tomorrow, but will be starting his new job equipped, like many of us, with a brand-new 'company' smartphone.

However this does not appear to mean an end to Trump's trademark tweeting, which has been a source of much of his opinions and political views for some time.

LIVE: Inauguration of Donald Trump
Fri, January 20, 2017

The inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States will mark the commencement of the four-year term of Donald Trump as President and Mike Pence as Vice President. A public ceremony will be held on Friday, January 20, 2017, on the West Front of the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.

Trump reportedly traded in his old smartphone, thought to be a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, yesterday, handing the device over to an unknown recipient.

Instead, the President-elect has received what New York Times sources has said is, a "secure, encrypted device" that has been approved by the Secret Service, and with a new number that only a select few people will know.

This was despite an Associated Press reporter claiming that they had called Trump's device, and that even more unbelievably, he returned the call.

Trump will follow in the footsteps of Barack Obama by maintaining regular use of a smartphone whilst in the Oval Office.


Obama famously insisted on continuing to use his own BlackBerry smartphone when taking office in 2009, resulting in a compromise deal being needed between him and the intelligence agencies.

However unlike Trump, Obama did not use his mobile device to make or receive telephone calls or surf the internet.

He was eventually talked in to upgrading this into an iPhone last year, according to an interview with talk show host Jimmy Fallon, a change which finally allowed him to use email and read the news.
