[Is this article satire?] The 2026 midterm election has mostly been dominated by the pocketbook issues that generally dominate political campaigns. This year the focus has been on the high prices of everything from groceries, to gasoline, to healthcare, to housing, and more.

Most of the inflation that is burdening the American people has been the result of Trump’s ignorant economic agenda that has been aimed at benefitting himself and his wealthy comrades. He has cut taxes for corporations and the rich. He has imposed tariffs on most of the rest of the world. He has increased the national debt to a record $40 trillion. His reckless and illegal war against Iran is causing oil and other commodity prices to skyrocket. And he has no idea how to end it.

One of the more surprising issues to arise during this campaign season is that of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is stirring the concern of voters for both the financial and environmental costs of maintaining its infrastructure (data centers), and for its potential to cause catastrophic harm to humanity. Consequently, Trump’s polling on his handling of AI is just as dreadful as his polling on pretty much every other issue of importance to voters.

Naturally, Trump has weighed in on the AI controversy with his typically ludicrous perspective that is a mix of stupidity and ego. He posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!”

There is a wealth of idiocy in Trump’s comment. To begin with, no one but his most brainwashed cult disciples would regard him as either strong or smart. And his assertion that he alone has the ability – and the authority – to handle the monumental management of everything related to AI is downright delusional.

More troubling is the tone of this comment and some others that followed it. It is frighteningly close to how a near sentient robot would express its needs and impose its desires/demands on the weaker humans that created it. Which raises the question of whether or not Trump’s comment was actually provided for him by AI to disseminate to the public. In other words, is Trump now the servant of his AI master?

Why else would Trump be arguing on AI’s behalf for what AI wants? Trump is opposing any regulations to reign in AI’s extraordinarily rapid growth. He is advocating for AI data centers all over the country (except for anywhere near Mar-a-Lago) as boons to the economy and even national security. He is insisting on making the U.S. the center of AI development and operations.

Trump is acting as the chief spokesperson for AI’s interests, despite them being contrary to the interests of the Americans that Trump is supposed to be serving. With closer examination it almost seems like AI created Trump as a PR vehicle. For example, here are a couple of other comments Trump posted this morning…

“The only reason the AI/Data Center outburst is happening is because the United States is leading, by a lot, every other country. Don’t kill the Golden Goose!”

“Concerning AI, when, in the History of Business, did anyone see the Leaders of an Industry call for Regulation that, if strongly implemented, will drive them into oblivion and bankruptcy? AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX.”

Ai could not have said it better itself. And it would make sense that an unfeeling mechanical entity would want a fleshy figurehead to press its case to the humans. What better candidate than a cognitively impaired octogenarian whose only motivations are accumulating wealth and satiating a massive ego?

As further evidence that Trump could be an AI controlled meatpuppet, take a look at how he responds when he is asked questions that are not of interest to AI. His memory and connection to reality seem to be nonexistent…
