The article discusses the complex relationship between the tech industry and the Trump administration. It suggests that while the tech industry initially supported Trump's election, the consequences of his policies have been detrimental to the industry. The article highlights how the tech sector's pursuit of favorable policies, such as tax cuts and deregulation, has backfired. Instead, the administration's policies, including the travel ban and the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, have created uncertainty and damaged the industry's global reputation.
