I was having trouble deciding between Proton and Tuta until that happened.

I did see that and I investigated Tuta. I had already paid for the year unfortunately. But I also wonder if he knows how Trump operates and would try to make foreign hosted encrypted data illegal, and so he was just pandering to trumps narcissism by congratulating him in his pick.

This is the Internet's common wisdom at the moment but it's a bit reductive. Here's a decent write up about it:
