Gawker Gives out Trump's Phone Number

Call Donald Trump's Cell Phone and Ask Him About His Important Ideas
Sam Biddle
8/03/15 1:30pm


Last month, American reality show entertainer turned American political system entertainer Donald Trump publicized presidential rival Sen. Lindsey Graham’s cell number, urging his supporters to “try it.” In the spirit of open and fair political debate, we now bring you Trump’s number.

<...>

After sharing Graham’s digits at a campaign rally—he held it up printed on a large note card for all to see and read the number aloud—Trump joked “you know he won’t fix anything, but at least he’ll talk to you.” Graham responded by comically destroying his compromised cell phone on video.

Since Trump, in his considered political judgment, has decided that opening up a direct, personal channel of communications between his supporters and his primary opponents is a noble campaign tactic, we think it’s only fair and right that Republican primary voters be able to reach out to Trump himself. If it is the case—as Trump’s release of Graham’s number implicitly argues—that our political discourse improves when voters can ring up candidates on their private cell phones, then we are happy to add Trump’s cell phone number to the body of public knowledge.

Is there some exemption I am not aware of?

If he sues Gawker, he can look for a lawsuit from Graham.
