You're misunderstanding. The government is the one that said it didn't want/couldn't use this "weapon."

This is not surprising. Did anyone really think the government wouldn't lie?

It’s a pretty bog standard observation. Not deep, not interesting; just true. A 14 year old might indeed accurately observe this, or a 54 year old.

Really? "Every American?"

“Rhetoric” is your search term, should you choose to accept it.

That is expected. What is not expected is us knowing about it. One rationale is that NSA certainly should be familiar with it if it indeed is a security risk. Nothing to see here.

I find that confidence quite unsettling considering everything we know about just the government in general, not even to mention what Snowden released, and I know he did not release everything. Are you at all familiar with what Snowden released? I’m curious because I find it odd that anyone with any sense of what he released can be confident in believing it is safe that this or any government can simply be trusted wi…

I don't see the OP implying that anyone should trust the government. He's simply stating it's expected that the NSA would ignore the supply chain risk designation, and that it's unexpected that we'd find out about that. If anything the comment seems to imply a lack of trust in government.

Are they on a blacklist or there was a random tweet from the president saying they are? Because sanctions and tariffs change day to day...

Haven't you heard? Under the new form of government in the US, random tweets from the President ARE government policy, superseding laws and any act of Congress. The Supreme Court has blessed this new form of government, declaring that the President is immune to all laws, but retaining for themselves the right to reverse any tweet on the "shadow docket".

It’s funny that you say that tweets are US policy when the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s tariffs.

Technically, the Pentagon did. I don’t know if that’s legally binding on the NSA.
