I'm surprised there's no mention of his first 100 days pledge to "announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership" - something that the EFF has been lobbying for.
Bloomberg tech analysis is actually pretty positive. The senators that blocked IP/patent regulation change got the boot,other house/senate members that tech supported got in, the grid lock that has kept 'new issues' from even getting to the floor is gone (with more willing to deal people in power), Trump also has a high interest in infrastructure (including internet with some lobbying) and the tech mind set of ignoring Washington is gone.
IMO if tech comes out behind for this, it's going to be techs fault. I'll actually be really amused if they mess up this chance.
Though it's worth reiterating the meme going around right now: anyone who claims to be able to predict the future statements and actions of Donald Trump from the past actions and statements of Donald Trump is lying.
Actually not really. It's doubtful that what he said would be executed for better and for worse but clamping on H1B abuses, tax evasions and media mega-corps isn't bad.
NSA style surveillance doesn't have direct impact on SV regardless on how much people cry foul ATM, it might in the future but not now.
Global warming and net neutrality is some what an issue but again overall bigger than SV and might not even be directly tied to it in the first place.
This isn't an article about the valley this isn't even about technology, to me it's just an random set of quotes with an incoherent message almost rivaling trumps own cyber quote about his 10 year old son.
"Media which got everything wrong will now tell you all the things that will happen as a result of the thing they said wouldn't happen."
