It feels like one of the tenets of the MAGA movement is you always have to act like you're the dumbest motherfucker alive. JD Vance has a degree in political science and philosophy from Ohio State. He has a law degree from Yale. He absolutely knows what socialism is, but he has to do this act.

The 2024 GOP policy platform was: -Put Trump above the law, let him crime without consequence -Hurt the darkies and the queers -Make things more expensive -Censor media and academia -Empower corrupt tech oligarchs And it worked! Voters were into it. So I can see the logic of trying that again.

read it.
“But it's hard to get a read on a company such as OpenAI or Anthropic, because their finances aren't public and may not be for some time. All anybody on the outside seems to know is they are burning through lots of cash, with an insatiable need for more and no visible profits by conventional measures.
If OpenAI can rely on the likes of Nvidia
and SoftBank to keep funding it, that helps hold the AI ecosystem together in the hope that one day it can become self-sustaining. OpenAI's ability to raise new money also means a company like Oracle, which is counting on OpenAl for hundreds of billions of dollars of future revenue, can continue to justify its own debt-fueled capital expenditures on data centers.
But if those circumstances should change, and the capital window narrows enough to create a funding gap for an  of the world's most important AI startups, the momentum behind the AI trade could quickly reverse. Once that happens, there is no telling how events may play out…”

Trump turned down entreaties from Saudi Arabia to attack the Houthis because MAGA doesn't like the US at war. So Houthis shut down Saudi Arabia's pipeline, which allows it to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. This will cause gas prices to skyrocket, which MAGA hates even more. Donald is smart that way.
