Trump’s AI Rant on Truth Social
He claimed the United States already possesses such leadership and labeled warnings of AI-driven human extinction a “hoax.”
Background: Trump’s Stance on AI Regulation
During his 2020-2021 administration, Trump’s team took a hands-off approach to emerging technologies, emphasizing market-driven growth over regulatory oversight. The recent posts revive that perspective, rejecting the “guardrails” advocated by AI industry leaders and asserting that the administration had already prevented “bad” AI actions, referencing Anthropic’s Dario as an example.
Criticism and Calls for 25th Amendment Action
Meiselas urged Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from any remaining public office and to pursue criminal charges, framing the posts as evidence of deteriorating mental fitness.
Verbatim Quotes
- “The Trump Administration has stopped AI ‘people’ from doing bad, or potentially bad, ‘things,’ like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a ‘perfect little angel’ - and we will continue to do so!” — Donald Trump
The episode underscores ongoing partisan tensions over how former leaders influence public discourse on emerging technologies, and it has revived debate over constitutional mechanisms for addressing perceived incapacity in former officeholders.
