I'm thinking that software like Signal, Bitwarden, Firefox and RHEL is more likely to be pushed (by unconventional methods) to introduce backdoors under Trump 2.0. Less complex software that is developed by an international community is of course less suseptible.

What do you think? Will the risk be higher during Trump 2.0 or is the FOSS community diverse and international enough? Am I just paranoid and irrational?

Closed source software and cloud is of course a no brainer since always. But clompex FOSS with centralized development and hosting pretty much suffers from the same problem.

I don't see how Trump makes any difference or how his second term has anymore impact on the glowies and their desire to spy on everything.

You have to assume everything is back doored, you are just making your fed earn his salary with some good habits.

As others have said... Touch some grass lol
