If what Trump is going to do with the surveillance powers is exactly what it was intended the president could do with them, is it really misuse?
In software engineering, we call this “works as designed.”
Yes it sucks more that Trump specifically will weild them. But the real problem is that the office of the presidency has these powers. Not specifically which president had them.
I think non-software people call this getting their face eaten by leopards.
Our “left”-centre government party here in Germany is still trying to pass the next version of a surveillance bill, which has been struck down multiple times for being unconstitutional over the years. All the while, it is getting more and more likely that we will have our own neo-nazis in power next year.
