After finding the following comment by cyber-security expert John McAfee, I now disagree with Trumps stance against boycotting Apple. This is for the simple reason that McAfee has indicated that a 15 year old boy recently hacked the FBIs system.
”The very FBI,” McAfee charged, ”who says, ”we will protect this software and only use it on one phone,” that agency was hacked by a 15-year-old boy just last week, who walked off with all the personnel records including, [of] undercover agents.” - John McAfee.
If such is the case, then how can the FBI be trusted to keep an Apple key for the iPhone secure?

They can’t. The US government is lagging behind when it comes to cybersecurity, it has been for decades now.
One example of why... say you are a 15 year old whiz kid hacker and you break into your government’s secured servers. If you were in China or Russia, you would immediately be hired to work from the government, to direct your talents at the nation’s enemies. In America, we charge the kid with a crime and try to make him not touch a computer until he is 21.
