I can't tell if that's a sarcastic Trump endorsement since he's one of the few candidates pledging to expand the surveillance state..

    Trump said his position in favor of the NSA data
    collection had been the same since before last
    month's terrorist attacks in Paris, which stoked fears
    of international terrorism and revived debate over
    government surveillance measures. 
 
    "I assume when I pick up my telephone people are
    listening to my conversations anyway, if you want to
    know the truth," Trump told Hewitt. "It's a pretty sad
    commentary."
 
    [..]

    Trump said Tuesday that he would be "fine" with
    restoring provisions of the Patriot Act to allow for the
    bulk data collection, something candidates such as
    former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush have also called for that
    was banned with the passage of the USA Freedom Act, 
    which Cruz supported.
 
    "As far as I'm concerned, that would be fine,"
    Trump said.
