I don't know that Trump cares much about encryption by itself, except perhaps indirectly by bolstering the NSA to protect against foreign attacks.
Though, Hillary blowing a few million(or tens of millions) on some cryptography research wouldn't be the worst thing a president could do.
After Wikileaks, Trump might be more sympathetic to whistleblowers like Snowden. He seems to be making corruption a central point in his more recent rallies. And I can't imagine Clinton would have much sympathy for whistleblowers, probably associating them with Assange.
