Trump's stance on AI is just another indication of his MONSTROUS IGNORANCE / ARROGANCE and his deliberate, penchant for destruction, which marks every thing he touches.

Acosta: I think he is in full freak-out mode, sort of like that German movie Downfall, where the Allied forces are advancing on Berlin… I’m almost picturing Trump in sort of the same mindset right now. You know, “This poll says this, sir. This poll says that, sir,” and he’s losing his shit.
