White House Bans Use of Personal Devices From West Wing (cbsnews.com)
In the wake of damaging reports of a chaotic Trump administration detailed in a new book from Michael Wolff, the White House is instituting new policies on the use of personal cellphones in the West Wing. CBS News reports: White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders released the following statement on the policy change: "The security and integrity of the technology systems at the White House is a top priority for the Trump administration and therefore starting next week the use of all personal devices for both guests and staff will no longer be allowed in the West Wing. Staff will be able to conduct business on their government-issued devices and continue working hard on behalf of the American people."
Wolff reportedly gained access to the White House where he conducted numerous interviews with staffers on the inner-workings of the Trump campaign and West Wing operations. Sanders told reporters Wednesday that there were about "a dozen" interactions between Wolff and White House officials, which she said took place at Bannon's request. The White House swiftly slammed the book and those who cooperated with Wolff.

... of fan fiction. Seriously, how anyone can quote anything from that book with all the very obvious factual errors in it is beyond me. If he can't even get the Trump/Boehner when there are numerous tweets, public pictures, how can you take anything seriously in that thing ?
"Not to mention all the idiots who use words like boxen."

Problem is, they are not the problem. They are all idiots but simply publicly on display idiots. The deep state and shadow government are in control of everything except the silly goings on in the white house and trumps twitter feed. How many decisions has Trump made that have impacted anything what so ever, especially in terms of foreign policy, probably zero. Although shooting off his mouth and twitter have undoubtedly messed up a lot of deep state and shadow government plans, by making them look really bad (on purpose on by accident still hard to tell). Trump certainly has done one thing, expose the deep state and shadow government, pretty much in full public view now, most can see the corruption now. The war industrial complex, the entirely corrupt fourth estate main stream media, corporate control, the horror of hollywood and it's part in controlling feeding the corrupt, with the sexually exploitable. All one giant shit show on full display, still pretending it is holier than holy and only being holey as in the PR is now full of holes and leaking the truth all over the place.
Chaos - everything, everywhere, everywhen
A better question is why Twitter hasn't shut down Trump's account over TOC violations yet.
(yeah, the obvious answer is that Twitter is hemorrhaging money and will cling at anything to say relevant in the eyes of their VCs).
