I do care about cybersecurity, but I’m well past a point with the Trump administration where it’s possible to take even the few good-sounding things coming out of it at face value. I don’t believe for a second Trump or anyone in his cabinet values cybersecurity over: jingoistic “Made in America” posturing to his audience, enforcing a monopoly on spying on US citizens, giving as much power as possible to the two departments he’s most heavily and illegally abusing, and using this as more “trade war” bullshit where multinational corporations can personally bribe him to get whitelisted.

I might celebrate this if we had a POTUS who hadn’t demonstrated over and over for a decade that everything they do is a ploy to turn the US into a kleptofascist hellscape.

I agree with you; your concerns are rational. I don’t think you or I share them with the Trump administration.
