Legality hardly matters at this point. I didn't matter much last time Trump was the US President. Whether something is illegal is irrelevant to whether it's beneficial or harmful.

This ticking data breach is dangerous to citizens and a real threat to the United States of America as a political state.

As for the laughing emoji, the OP (like billions of people) see the self-sabotage of the United States of America's power and hampering its ability to harm innumerable people around the world as a good thing, but it's pretty ignorant of the ways it will harm regular worker-class citizens too.
