MTG's pettiness is on the side of the right here:
A Trump Truth Social post dated 8 October 2026, reading "The White House considers anyone that uses the term, 'Artificial Intelligence,' as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, 'Super Intelligence,' THE ENEMY! President DONALD J. TRUMP" is quote-tweeted by former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on the same day, with the words: "Artificial Intelligence."

Trump's pushing the term "super intelligence" is stupid for many reasons (not least because "superintelligence" was already a term with a specific meaning in semi-technical and policy/philosophical discussions about AI). But now his bullying about it is reaching an Orwellian pitch.
A Trump Truth Social post dated 8 October 2026, reading: "The White House considers anyone that uses the term, 'Artificial Intelligence,' as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, 'Super Intelligence,' THE ENEMY! President DONALD J. TRUMP" (https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/117406176604364910). That post is quote-tweeted by @josephpolitano.bsky.social on the same day with the message: "Again he’s really losing it with the AI stuff now." And that, in turn, is quote-tweeted by @sky.skymarchini.net also on the same day, in two messages that read (combined) as follows: "Yeah, so, I work for an organization with federal government contracts and, the White House is not actually joking about this. It’s (probably) not at an 'I will I get fired if I put "artificial intelligence" in an email' level but the WH is making clear that the expectation is to use Trump’s politically correct terminology in public communication."

This is so dangerous! President Trump is deliberately inciting race hatred against an ethnic minority, calling on the people of Minnesota to "fight back" against "Somali immigrants." This must be a terrifying moment for the Somali community (who are overwhelmingly US citizens).

Meanwhile, the Trump family is disrupting the corruption industry, in ways that make Guilfoyle’s request for cash payments seem pitifully outdated. Let’s take just a sample of recent stories. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/stop-paper...
Trump invited another round of bribes in the form of worthless meme coin purchases. The biggest buyers will have the honor of dining with the President. Trump is estimated to have made $1 billion in crypto gains, while his investors have lost $4.7 billion. Other family members also benefit. The President’s 20-year-old son, still attending college, is estimated to have gained $150 million from the family crypto ventures.

Defense companies with ties to Don Jr. and Eric Trump have netted $6 billion in Pentagon contracts. What are the odds that two guys with no defense background would have such an unerring sense of where the Pentagon would want to invest its resources?

Trump’s son-in-law, and golfing buddy, are brokering Middle East peace and an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while also negotiating business deals in the regions. For example, part of a potential peace deal for Ukraine is a multibillion-dollar oil deal that benefits Middle East executives with ties to Kushner and Witkoff.

Most important in creating a corrupt environment is Trump's abuse of pardons, which has completely inverted the logic of investigating corruption. Trump benefits from a corrupt inner circle, because their graft makes them more dependent on him. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/stop-paper...
This is how Trump can guarantee that his circle will not turn on him. In traditional investigations of a criminal enterprise you catch the low-level crooks, and then get them to flip on their boss until you get to the top. Under Trump, that logic is turned upside down. The more corruption his political cronies engage in, the more leverage Trump has over them, since he alone can guarantee their protection from the legal system. The message: grab what you can, but stay loyal to the boss.
