Yeah, good luck. Microsoft Teams has been changing rapidly. I doubt the French government will be able to keep up. The software will be outdated before the deployment is even finished. They'll use it for 5 years before they give up and go back to a software vendor.

They are being cautious with their statement but this is really part of the "Dump Trump" trade.

Wait until this starts to significantly impact our ability to borrow money and finance our debt.

The MAGA schtick is based on the flawed assumption that the USA doesn't need the rest of the world for anything --- never mind that we're borrowing nearly a trillion dollars from the rest of the world each year to stay afloat.

Trump's answer is the same one he has always relied on --- default, aka bankruptcy.
