perhaps especially relevant given how much he and his campaign have attacked Clinton on national security issues from her email system (even though no successful hacking of her server has been demonstrated).
Everyday I get an email from The Washington Post called “The Daily 202” on aspects of political issues, put together by James Hohmann. In light of the hack of Yahoo, there was some discussion of why the candidates themselves might not be jumping on this issue. Here is what Hohmann wrote about Trump on this topic:
And Donald Trump has an abysmal record when it comes to safeguarding the data of his customers. Trump’s hotel chain disclosed this April that its computers had been attacked, but Eric Trump refused to say just how badly. Last year, Trump’s company admitted that hackers had installed malicious software into their payment systems – potentially collecting the credit card information of anyone who stayed at one of the GOP nominee’s hotels over more than a year.
Trump, of course, also encouraged the Russians to hack Clinton’s emails during the Democratic National Convention. And Rand Paul, who made privacy and opposition to government surveillance centerpieces of his campaign, failed to catch fire during the primaries.
Read that again.
Then follow the links.
Then ask yourself — if Trump cannot be trusted to keep customer information safe, how can he be trusted to keep national security information safe?
As far as the choice of pictures on this? Ivanka is involved in the hotel part of Trump Enterprises, so I felt it relevant to include her.
