Journalist Barak Ravid revealed in an interview with Erez Tal on the program "Talking About It" an intriguing detail about the connection he maintains with US President Donald Trump. According to him, conversations between the two take place quite frequently — between once and twice every week.

However, precisely when the conversation reached a small detail regarding how Trump appears on his phone, Ravid preferred not to reveal the answer. When asked how Trump is saved in his contacts, he replied: "I cannot say, because I assume, I know, that very many foreign intelligence services are following who I talk to and what I do, and therefore I try, again, not that it will prevent anything, but I try as much as possible to cover my tracks."

Erez Tal responded to the remarks with the word "interesting," and Ravid replied in the affirmative. His explanation indicated that the refusal to answer did not necessarily stem from a desire to keep the nickname itself a secret, but from his attempt to avoid as much as possible revealing details that might make it easier for entities following his activity and the people he is in contact with.

Later, another intriguing detail emerged. Tal wanted to know how often Ravid and Trump speak. Ravid initially replied in general terms: "We talk," and then specified that these are conversations that take place "between once and twice a week."
