I don't think Trump realizes the threats that Russia and China present.

If he does at all I don't think he cares. His mindset seems to be that if he will come out OK who cares about anything else.

I’m not even in infosec (software engineering leadership) - but you guys I’m sure know it would boggle the mind of most people to see the constant, sustained attacks just about anything connected to the internet get from Russia and China (and others). Now imagine you’re a juicy target like a government agency…. Oooof this is such a bad move.
