President Donald Trump has responded in characteristic fashion to the recent debate around AI safety — by declaring that these concerns are part of a long line of hoaxes “generated by the Radical Left Dumocrats, for purposes of destroying our Country.”
(Both Republicans and Democrats have taken aim at data centers, and New York recently became the first state to halt permits for large projects.).
On Saturday, Trump went on to say that he will “cherish [the AI industry,] help it, and watch over it, as it grows,” but he’s also forming an AI Force, similar to the Space Force that he established in his first term.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, meanwhile, called Trump on-stage during the All-In Summit (which Sacks co-hosts), agreed with the president that the AI opposition is a “hoax,” and said that “we’re not going to let” a slowdown happen.

The article, shortened and in plain language
President Donald Trump has responded in characteristic fashion to the recent debate around AI safety — by declaring that these concerns are part of a long line of hoaxes “generated by the Radical Left Dumocrats, for purposes of destroying our Country.”
Trump did not offer any evidence to back up his claim that suspicion of AI and data centers is not organic and sincere. (Both Republicans and Democrats have taken aim at data centers, and New York recently became the first state to halt permits for large projects.).
The president’s post also echoes his comments at a golf tournament last weekend, when he said he’s open to “guardrails,” but also argued, “I think you have a lot of negative forces that are bringing it up that shouldn’t be bringing it up.”
On Saturday, Trump went on to say that he will “cherish [the AI industry,] help it, and watch over it, as it grows,” but he’s also forming an AI Force, similar to the Space Force that he established in his first term.
Venture capitalist Daivd Sacks stepped down as Trump’s AI and crypto czar earlier this year, moving on to co-chair the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, meanwhile, called Trump on-stage during the All-In Summit (which Sacks co-hosts), agreed with the president that the AI opposition is a “hoax,” and said that “we’re not going to let” a slowdown happen.
