I would bet more than I can afford to lose that Trump knows next to nothing about the Patriot Act, the various provisions of which have a helluva lot more direct impact on US citizens than on any terrorist. If he thinks that the Patriot Act provides greater security, he’s a fool.
If he knows about it and supports it, or if he doesn’t know much about it but supports it for “security”, it doesn’t speak well for him either way.
