In reply to the discussion: Trump uses Russian Made Equip in WH to communicate directly with Putin! [View all]TwilightZone
(25,471 posts)50. The link has been there for 55 years...
and our end has been Russia-sourced for 55 years.
So, yes, that would qualify as historical.
Trump may not be using it in the same manner as other presidents (we don't actually know), but it's not new.
If it's been there for 55 years, there's clearly a reason for it (as others have noted in this thread), and it's clearly not an issue or Clinton or Obama would have had it removed or replaced. According to the article, the current version of the link has been there for roughly a decade.
