    Don Jr isn't as charismatic as his dad and Barron is 18, 17 years away from being eligible to run. Trump has spent a life time building a brand, none of his children can fill his shoes.

    So according to the article it's probably settled, the trust stays as is. But what happens if Rupert lives past 2030?

    Yes that's reasonable but it's not going to make things better. If sacrificing pride is all it takes to make things better then there shouldn't be push back for this.

    Doesn't AI already have a ton of this information? Why would we need to "feed" it national security clearance level information to get better ideas on how to spend money? The bills and spending is already public information and there's been a ton of studies about so much stuff online as well, and these companies have no issue stealing so Im sure a lot of them are already baked in.

    The other thing is the questions you ask. Even something that sounds simple isn't " How can we make America better" is so reliant on who defines 'better'.

    There's a ton of ideas and concepts to try that are likely to make the country better but it doesn't align with corporate donors, lobbyists, high profile donors and it doesn't benefit politicians.

    To me this is like asking AI to add 2+2 instead of just using a calculator to do it yourself.

    I think it's best to lean towards giving others the benefit of the doubt, tone is very hard to read over text. I think comments like yours take away from tildes. Even if they were being short, or rude saying that the comment is tremendously rude is clearly over the top. I think you need to step back and reassess how you came to that conclusion.

    Anything is possible, most companies are "tech" companies now. Hell, even if some EU country bought it I don't think there would be a concern.

    C'mon man. I in no way insinuated that you would be blackmailed for any of that. If that's the kind of stuff you're going to push then it's clear you're not willing to engage in an actual discussion.

    Sure you see thirst traps and d&d memes, but what isn't being shown to you, what's being hidden on purpose and what's being pushed to you on purpose.

    Sure it would be nice to pass laws like the EU, but this doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.

    American companies aren't pushing agendas based on what the government tells them to do. Tik Tok is. That's not an equal comparison because we're a free nation. China is not.
