Everything Trump Says About AI

… more broad fashion. There has never been anything like has happened with this country or any other country in the history of the world. There has never been growth, there has never been manufacturing plants being built -- we have so many being built. And in the big ones like AI, some of the AI, we let them build their own electric plants. We force them to build; we don't want -- because the old grid that we have wouldn't be able to supply. They need, just as an industry, more energy than the entire country produces right now when you think about it, which … Read more →

… powerful, it needs more than that; in fact, some people say almost double. So, this was my idea. I said you can never service that; you can't reinvigorate the grid. You can make it better but nothing like that; you wouldn't be able to build. And we're leading China in AI -- well, in most -- just about everything, but we're leading China in AI. Even in TikTok -- you know, I was watching somebody say, oh, the TikTok deal, it's so bad for --. Well, because they say the deal was incredible, but they think the word that gets out is bad except the numbers just came out and I'm number one on TikTok … Read more →

… even me as a businessman, I'd see a lot of money starting to come in with Bitcoin and the different forms and I said, this thing's got a lot of life. And then I hear China was going to make a heavy move on it, just like they do for AI. By the way, we're leading China substantially in AI, by substantial. And one of the reasons is I allow -- when they build these big plants, I allow them to build their electric generating units, whether they use nuclear or oil and gas, whatever they want to use, they can use -- except wind. We don't allow wind. Wind … Read more →

… you understand. Scott, you know what I'm talking about. No, I think you're going to see a contribution made by those because they're making tremendous amounts of money. They're also creating tremendous -- the medical -- the medical, the things that are happening in the world of medicine because of AI is not even believed. I'm friends with many doctors because of what I'm doing as president. And I become very friendly with a lot of them, they're great. They're great as long as they tell me I'm healthy, OK. When they tell me I'm healthy, so far, so good. Where's … Read more →

… crypto is very powerful, a lot of people are using it, bitcoin. They're using it at levels that nobody -- I don't think anybody understands really how power -- and if we didn't do it, China would do it in a minute. And if we let our guard down on AI -- if I didn't come up with the idea for electric plants, producing plants, they become a utility. Basically, these guys producing, you might as well put them down. Paul, I think you should mark them down as utilities because, frankly, in many ways, I'm more impressed by their electric … Read more →

… up with that idea, maybe somebody else would have. I doubt it, because it's too simple. I mean, it's such a simple idea. Do you know that your friends, Michael, when I came up with that and I told Mark Zuckerberg, I told Bezos, I told all of the people AI, Sam, Elon, told them all. I said, no, no, I'm going to let you build your own plant and I'm going to get you fast approvals. They thought I was kidding. You know, they said and they would submit plans without an electric plant. And I'd get calls from Lee … Read more →

… going to go through the roof, when all those factories open They're being built all over the country at record numbers. We have never built, in the history of our country, what we're building now. We have $19.2 trillion, and much of that money is going toward building factories, plants, AI, automobile. We've never built as many automobile plants. They're all over and they're coming from all over the world. You know why? Because they don't want to pay tariffs. If they build their cars here, they pay no tariffs. So Japan, instead of making them in Japan or South Korea, … Read more →

… look at it the way it's grown over the years, you have believers, you don't have believers, you know, whatever it is, but it's a big deal, and anything we do, I want to be number one in, and we're number one in crypto, and we're also number one in AI. In the disclosure this week, the amount of money that you and the family made in crypto, it was an outsized number. I was just asking, did you, or you know about the crypto ventures? No. So, so that was just something -- By the way -- Yeah. I could … Read more →

… made a lot of money over the years, and I think one of the reasons that I got elected was we have a business person, and if you look at what's happening, we're beating everybody, we're beating China, we're beating every single country. We're the envy of the world, and AI, whether it's good or bad, we have it -- Let's talk about that -- And we are leading by so much, we're, you know, I'm letting all of these big plants. Everyone said, well, we don't have the energy to compete. I came up, and this was something I'm proud … Read more →

… own electricity. They become a utility, but these massive plants that are being built, they can't go off an old grid, so we wouldn't have anybody. We literally wouldn't have anything. We need double the energy, double the electricity that we have right now to do that, just that one AI industry. So I let the plants, as they build these billions and billions of dollars of plants, I let them build their own electric generating plants, and they build them on top, they build them on the side, they build them separately, and we have nothing but electricity. If you … Read more →

… place. We wouldn't have any. We don't have enough from the old grid. What about taking -- So I'm sort of proud of that. Reportedly, Sam Altman is discussing giving the government a 5% stake in OpenAI. Is that -- is that possible? And is that true? And would other AI companies do similar things, or would you like them to? Well I did something with Intel -- Right. That a lot of people don't know about and talk about, but it was, I, you know, they had problems with things, and they got hurt badly, because no president ever charged … Read more →

… what zero investment we made about, I guess, $70 billion in a period of eight or nine months. But that's a great thing. What's happened is Intel has gone through the roof. You know, it's one of the hottest companies, and they've done a great job. Has -- is Chinese AI -- is it catching up, and do you need -- are there some new restrictions you're thinking about that would make sense on technology -- Well, you need some guard rails, but you want to do as little as possible. You want to be good. We have -- when we think there's a bad player out there, there's a little danger, we stop the player quickly and effectively. We had a recent case where we did that. But you have to be -- look, you have to be in the game. AI is bigger than the internet. I've never seen anything -- you know, the internet was a big deal. I think this is much bigger than the internet, and I'm basing it on numbers. I'm basing -- I've never seen anything. Look, I went through the internet thing, and I watched, … Read more →

We got to write the rules for the new technology, which is what that's AI. Dollar's got to stay strong, we need financial leadership, but maybe most importantly, it's all got to flow up and down to every American needs to participate -- That's right, right. In the prosperity here. Trump Accounts, I think it's the big leap towards, I mean, it's a novel way. … Read more →

Yeah, that's right. But I did, you know, I've made a lot of money over the years, and I think one of the reasons that I got elected was we have a business person, and if you look at what's happening, ... Read more →

… business was going to engage in crypto? Did you have anything? Well, I was here before, I was there before I was in office, but the way I view crypto's a little differently, we have to be at the top, otherwise China's going to take it over. Like, for instance, AI, we're leading substantially in AI over China and everybody else. I mean, we're leading. When I was with President Xi three weeks ago, he greeted me, and he, his first words, I mean, literally were, "Wow, you've really done a great job. You've really," because this country was dead, we had a dead country. Now we have the hottest country in the world. And the way I look at AI, or the way I look at crypto, is if we're not going to do it, China's going to get it, most likely China -- No doubt. Or somebody else. Japan is, somebody else, and I want to, it's a big industry, crypto, if you call it an industry, but it's … Read more →
