Recently, Donald Trump surprised many by answering a cold call from reporters at The Atlantic, raising eyebrows about his willingness to engage. This incident occurred despite the limited access afforded to the official White House press pool. Such actions highlight Trump's unconventional approach and provoke questions about the norms of presidential privacy and media relations. This behavior, in the year 2025, stands out as particularly surprising and arguably reckless, given the scrutiny and potential consequences involved in dealing with unknown callers.
We have all grown very used to reading about his gaffes from across the Atlantic, but one recent event gave me pause: Trump answering a call from an unknown number.
It's puzzling that the official press pool at the White House has been limited, yet the President answered a cold call from two reporters.
In 2025, who in their right mind would answer private number calls? This behavior from the most powerful man in the world is totally unhinged.
This incident showcases not only Trump's offbeat openness but also highlights concerns about a lack of access for the press and compounds existing frustrations.
