    Everything trump does is done in the single dumbest way imaginable.

    Not necessarily - he isn't bright enough to be that consistent. Sometimes he does something okay like a blind man playing darts will occasionally hit the dartboard.

    Trump shitting on the AI industry has a certain poetry about it

    Would be great if it was just the AI industry, but it's simply expanding what tech is subject to tariffs, so its the people that pay the price. Couldn't afford that RAM already, so I guess it doesn't matter right?

    Has the AI industry tried bribing him more? That usually does the trick.

    While I'm sure the end result will be worse for us in a lot of other ways, one thing i found oddly positive is how his stupid decisions are going to fuck things up:

    Most absurdly, given the priorities of Trump’s AI Action Plan, that tariff approach would cost the US about $90 billion annually in GDP losses and cause about 20 percent of data center projects planned through 2030 to be delayed or canceled

    Trump is literally demented but the ghouls around him are not.

    The plan is plainly obvious.

    The big guys will bribe him and get exceptions which means their competition who can't pay are at a detriment.

    Trump gets bribes.

    They both juice the market knowing the above.

    He simply cannot do anything but in the dumbest way.

    That would be the funniest outcome, the entire bubble pops because the idiots in charge still have not figured out how a supply chain works, or what the effects of tariffs are.

    "Guys, stock market is not going up much anymore and we aren't making money."

    "OK fine, short the tech stocks and I will scare the markets with some random threat that may or may not happen some time in the future."

    Starts talking about tax on data centers. Market starts to go down.

    "Thanks, appreciate it"

    Epstein class when they're raking it in:

    "This is amazing".

    Epstein class when you try and take a small portion of their wealth away:

    "This is terrible and I hate it."

    (PS. I hate Trump but this is essentially what's happening here)

    I'm not sure how higher tech prices for you and I are a good thing, but sure. Because that's what is going to happen here, it's simply expanding tariffs on more items.

    Hes seen a lot of money and he wants it.

    He must be lying awake at night furiously trying to figure out how to get a cut of anthropics $30T they definitely have.

    Trump is finally waking up to the deep, bipartisan unpopularity of AI and AI datacentres. Aside: the "single dumbest way imaginable" is the GOP brand.

    AI industry is the enemy, they own (they have a priority rier on the joint leasins of our politicians,) and don't believe for a minute the prez isn't going to do everything they want before it's over.

    Prez is the LLM model companies' bitch.

    To be fair, he probably asked AI what to do, so yeah.

    He thinks this is a quick way to reduce the US's $40T debt. It won't.

    He doesn't give a shit about that.

    This is a way to squeeze the tech oligarchs for something. If they play ball, the tariff gets an exception for data centers, and they continue their plan to take technology away from the people of the United States and hoard it all and rent it back to us and monitor everything said and done on it

    If they don’t play ball he crushes America’s position in the AI race, for which he doesn’t care because his goal is the destruction of America as revenge for making him kill Epstein to keep the whole thing quiet
