Election meddling. Corporate espionage. Ransomware attacks. Massive data breaches. The cybersecurity threats facing the United States seem to multiply by the year, leaving government agencies and private companies scrambling to keep up.

That is among the reasons why many experts are alarmed that the White House eliminated the position of cybersecurity czar on the National Security Council, or NSC, on Tuesday. John Bolton, President Donald Trump's new national security adviser, has been widely reported to have sought to cut the job.

"This is definitely not the signal you want to send to your allies and your adversaries," said J. Michael Daniel, who served as cybersecurity coordinator under President Barack Obama and now leads the Cyber Threat Alliance, a nonprofit group formed by cybersecurity companies.

he can’t lose because he’s afraid of what will happen to him and his business. That’s a honest fear and probably true.

from those overseas leaders who he is trying to emulate.

It's fairly obvious he wants to be like Putin, etc.

Trump isn't getting the support, co-operation and respect he thinks he deserves as the Top Man in the current system from the local supporters.

Putin's help worked last election, so why not repeat the same for 2020?

Republicans. Republicans. Trump is out of his mind. He's sold the country and Republicans refuse to do anything about it. They need to be pounded hourly that they are traitors plain and simple. We have the evidence in plain sight.
