Donald Trump: Apple should hack San Bernardino shooter phone
http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/17/politics/donald-trump-apple-encryption-debate/index.html
(CNN)Donald Trump says that Apple should comply with a California judge's order to help the FBI break into the phone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.
"I agree 100% with the courts," Trump said on "Fox and Friends" on Wednesday morning. "In that case, we should open it up. I think security over all -- we have to open it up, and we have to use our heads. We have to use common sense."
Trump strongly argued that the Apple should unlock the phones, adding, the shooters "killed 14 people, other people laying desperately ill in the hospital from what they did. These are two people radicalized who were given a wedding party by the people they killed! There's something going on. We have to be very careful, we have to be very vigilant."
"But to think that Apple won't allow us to get into her cell phone," Trump continued, "who do they think they are? No, we have to open it up."
And the Republican presidential front-runner dismissed the argument, made by Apple and other cybersecurity experts, that opening a so-called "back door," which allows the government to access encrypted phones, would lead to breaches by cybercriminals.
"Apple, this is one case, this is a case that certainly we should be able to get into the phone," he said. "And we should find out what happened, why it happened, and maybe there's other people involved and we have to do that."
Apple responded to the court order with a public letter saying it opposes such a move, labeling the instruction "an overreach by the U.S. government."
The letter, signed by Apple's CEO Tim Cook and published Tuesday, warns that complying with the order would entail building "a backdoor to the iPhone," creating "something we consider too dangerous to create."
"The government is asking Apple to hack our own users and undermine decades of security advancements that protect our customers — including tens of millions of American citizens — from sophisticated hackers and cybercriminals," the letter reads.

I think its kind of funny that Trump out a "Tweet" from his I-phone to "ban all Apple products"..... this is what we are dealing with.
I've mentioned in the past that I own property in St. Magaret village
Cape Breton NS...I have options (lol)
Canada's Cape Breton Island offered as refuge from President Trump--
The mountains-meet-sea ambiance of Cape Breton Island, with national park views out over the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is strikingly similar to our Chuckanut Mountain only with frequent moose sightings and minke and pilot whales rather than orcas.
The island in eastern Canada is also a Trump-free zone.
A Sydney, Nova Scotia,born radio DJ named Rob Calabrese has launched a website suggesting the island as a refuge for Americans should Donald Trump win their country's 2016 presidential election.
Atlantic Canada is perpetually in need of entrepreneurial newcomers. Calabrese's website pitches:
"Welcome. Hi Americans! Donald Trump may become the president of your country! If that happens, and you decide to get the hell out of there, might I suggest moving to Cape Breton Island."
The website has collected more than 10,000 hits. It redirects visitors to the island's tourist website run by Destination Cape Breton. The website is getting lots of traffic, a spokesperson emailed seattlepi.com
Of course, Canada has escape routes closer to home, such as British Columbia's Sunshine Coast and the lovely country around Courtnay and Comox on Vancouver Island. Expatriates might have to dodge one of the huge liquid natural gas terminals dreamed of by B.C. Premier Christie Clark.
Calabrese did not expect to have a hit on his hands. "I'm in disbelief: I wish everyone from Cape Breton could read (messages) because they really make you proud of living here," he told Canada's National Post.
The website takes several digs at The Donald.
Trump is not popular in Canada. Civic leaders in Vancouver and Toronto have sought to get his name removed from hotels under construction, in protest at Trump's pledge that he would bar Muslims from entering the United States.
"Muslim people can roam freely," he writes, "And the only 'walls' are holding up the roofs of our extremely affordable houses.
"This is not a joke. You belong here with us on Cape Breton Island, where health care is free, you know your neighbors and they look out for you, and nobody has a handgun."
Expatriates from liberal enclaves in the U.S. would feel politically at home. The Liberal Party of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau swept all 28 House of Commons seats in Atlantic Canada when the Great White North voted last October.
Of course, Calabrese has received a bit of blowback. A grammar-challenged correspondent called "habsfanrocket" wrote on CTV.
"I would move to the States in a heartbeat if Trump were president. i am ashamed of Canada since they elected Trudeau! He and his father destroyed what was once the best country in the world.
"Now it's diluted to a point of no return. A well fare (sic) country that bend's (sic) over to all to accommodate everyone but Canadians."

I do think this particular phone and the fact of who it belonged to and the harm they meant to our citizens as well as the fact that it could hold clues as to who else they were plotting with and when and where, this phone should be hacked. If it pertains to national security and our safety I say yes. Trump? I dont care what he says or thinks. Even a broke clock is right twice a day.
"... Donald Trump is now leading Saturday's South Carolina Republican primary by 5 points — down from his 16-point lead in the state a month ago, according to results from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll.
Trump gets support from 28 percent of likely Republican primary voters in the state, while Ted Cruz gets 23 percent. They're followed by Marco Rubio at 15 percent, Jeb Bush at 13 percent, and John Kasich and Ben Carson at 9 percent each...."

I agree in part but he has to fall pretty far pretty fast before he'd drop out.
The latest poll seems to suggest he is losing appeal in SC. And, if that poll is to be believed, he's lost a lot of support.
We can only dream................

I think the Donald is losing his appeal as the public smartens up. I personally believe he will cut and run, having enjoyed his time in the national spotlight sooner than many believe.
He doesn't handle loss very well.
