What is crazy about paranoia ... is that the authorities don't really care about you at all ... and that insults your overweening pride ;-)
Yes, the government monitors everyone, because they can. Even what I am typing right now. But it doesn't matter, they are all short-attention-span avengers!
And no, the President doesn't personally do anything, that is why there is a huge executive branch to do his bidding.

If it is any comfort, I seriously doubt he knows you exist. Or me. Really, he might be the most embarrassing atheist I know of in the US of A. He might be the dumbest person with orange hair. He could be the foolishest Trump in the Universe. But he will never care about us.
You might be being followed by real enemies day and night, but Trump isn't one of them.

No, he's not watching you.
And stop doing that with your hands, please.
There is no doubt that all the internet data is scanning,
including what you or me writes on forums and all kind of social media,
by the intelligence agencies, especially the agencies that are in the USA...
That's big bro...
I don't think Trump is monitoring you. He can't even monitor himself, and what he thinks he sees doing that is make believe anyway. He just twitters around in fog bumping into things, all the while thinking everything is hunky dory. I even kind of envy him.

No. He spends too much time tweeting and googling himself to spend any time monitoring you.
He is to Busy on twitter misspelling 'conference' to be looking into guys Like you and me.
For better or for worse, I fear your cause for anxiety lies closer to home. At the internal level.
Sleep deprivation, caused Lindberg to perceive a gremlin riding with him, behind his seat, all the way across the Atlantic, during the flight of the Spirit of St Louis. Monks and prophets frequently employ limited sleep deprivation to experience visions.

the human brain is a complex mess of neurons firing all over the place, and stress effecting those currents can have bizarre results.

Which is bizarre ... what seems normal to us, or what is abnormal?

We were told by the school principal, that any bad action we take, will "go into your permanent record". And it did. J Edgar was maintaining dossiers on everyone. Do you think that has stopped? You are a medieval peasant, with an iPhone.
Oh, old news but ... the Obama admin was efficiently searching that info, illegally, to get stuff on people associated with Trump. Too bad Seth Rich wasn't part of the protected class.

I don't really care what the government or industry knows about me. It doesn't do them any good. I am immune to advertising. Plus, they don't find out much about me.
And I expect some will contest that. It will be an interesting discussion.

I am also immune to advertising. Were you left on your parent's doorstep by gypsies, like I was?
In days past people feared the government was spying on them. In modern times they say "Hey Siri/Cortana/Alexa/NSA, can cats eat pancakes?"
Funny you should mention that. I was just researching whether cats eat fruit. Apparently they do...

Our cat (that has passed) ate a bit of banana every now and again, but turned his nose up to any other fruit.
You learn something new every day. I saw on another site where a person's cats were eating melons. I had a hard time accepting that cats would, but some research showed that some do.
My cats are smarter than any of you. They choose to live with me ;-)

Some cats carry a parasite that allows them to control infected owners .... must open can of tuna, now!
