That line was near the end of the article and puts the whole thing into absolute hogwash territory
I'm pretty sure this is just how people try to manipulate Trump. He responds to flattery, and this almost makes it sound like Trump would be weak to do nothing.
It's worth noting that what you said is the only way this guy is going to get fired. Trump has literally zero intrinsic understanding of the issue. He doesn't use computers or smartphones, probably has only a vague grasp of what an app or end-to-end encryption are, and no understanding of app security vs device security. He has literally no basis on which to understand any of this, and crucially, he won't care to learn if someone explains it to him.
So yeah I have no doubt that he's completely baffled by all of this and doesn't really see how it affects him.
He's trying to stroke his ego
