It's not that complex. Our personal privacies have deteriorated with either party in power for decades. Both Dems and GOP have voted to extend the Patriot Act and similar acts. Most of the NSA/PRISM drama happened under Obama (PRISM in 2007 with Bush, to be fair) and I'm not sure anything changed by 2016.
So singling out Trump isn't really relevant or even useful.
