If Clinton gets in, she'll probably appoint people from Google into high government positions. Eric Schmidt has given her campaign a lot of money and technical support, and she's mentioned bringing people from Silicon Valley in during some of her rallies. Probably that means giving Eric Schmidt a high-ranking position, or Google lucrative government contracts.
I don't think that Trump cares too much about Silicon Valley. He'll probably just review them as part of a routine audit of all federal agencies, and ask them to explain what it is that they do and then make a decision to keep them. I think this particular agency is not high on his list of problems.
