It's rather off-putting to have a corrupt, amoral president who uses transparency as a weapon against his political opponents, lies, and doesn't show respect for civil servants.
I was the deputy director of the Sunlight Foundation and have covered the space for a decade. I tracked Trump's record on open government and documented it daily: https://sunlightfoundation.com/tracking-trumps-attacks-on-tr...
It is, in other words, just my opinion, but a statement of fact. Moreover, bill in question is the OPEN Government Data Act. This president's record on transparency, accountability, ethics and civic engagement is atrocious. Therefore, these issues are directly related.

Your article starts off with an unsupported opinion irrelevant to the issue, it's not very auspicious for the rest of it.
