Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

Donald's Chief of Staff John Kelly said Trump had no knowledge of history. When they visited Pearl Harbor, Trump asked Kelly why they were there. And Donald clearly doesn't know that "Mission Accomplished" was widely mocked as an awkward lie about a failed war. So he uses it in the same way. Idiot.

It’s no coincidence that Donald Trump ran up enormous debts to banks (well over a billion dollars) in his business too. He defaulted on two multimillion dollar loans. And defaulted on massive debt obligations in *six* corporate bankruptcies. Pity the U.S. doesn’t have a rich daddy to bail us out.
