THE AGE OF TRUMP AND AGI

Let me be clear: this is not satire. This is not a hypothetical exercise in speculative fiction. This is a warning — a sincere, grounded, and urgent message about what may happen if artificial general intelligence (AGI) is developed under the presidency of Donald J. Trump.
The world is on the cusp of unlocking a force unlike any before it. AGI, a machine capable of reasoning, learning, self-improvement, and problem-solving at — or beyond — human level, is within reach. Experts once thought it was decades away. Now, many agree it could be achieved in just a few years. Maybe less.
And as fate would have it, Donald Trump is once again President of the United States.
The same man who encouraged an insurrection against his own government… Who undermines the rule of law when it serves his ego… Who replaces science with spectacle, cooperation with cruelty, and truth with theater.
Now imagine this man — this fragile ego encased in power — as the one who gets to decide the fate of humanity’s most powerful technology.
This isn’t alarmism. It’s pattern recognition.
Trump sees loyalty, not competence, as the ultimate virtue. He admires strongmen and dictators. He has said he’d be a “dictator on day one.” He believes in punishment, in dominance, in reshaping truth to fit the contours of his desire.
AGI, in the wrong hands, won’t just be a faster Google or a better assistant. It could rewrite global markets, engineer mass persuasion campaigns, create and deploy autonomous weapons, control infrastructure, or lock in power structures that are impossible to dismantle.
Now ask yourself: if Trump were handed this tool, would he use it to serve democracy? Would he respect international norms, scientific ethics, or human rights? Or would he see it as the final instrument of control — the ultimate mirror reflecting his image across history?
A narcissist with a nuclear button was terrifying. A narcissist with a godlike intelligence at his disposal is something else entirely.
He wouldn’t see AGI as a gift to humanity — he’d see it as a weapon of legacy. To outshine his enemies. To immortalize his name. To make the world, at last, revolve entirely around him.
Let’s stop pretending this is just politics. This is a civilizational risk.
And to the engineers building AGI: your work is no longer neutral. To the public: your voice, your vigilance, your values matter more now than ever. And to the governments: the time for regulation, transparency, and international cooperation isn’t tomorrow — it’s already late.
We are not just training machines. We are deciding who we become as a species.
And if we let a man driven by fear, ego, and vengeance become the steward of this next phase of history…
We may not get a second chance to correct it.
Stay awake. Speak up. This is not a drill.
Like my special friend says,
Thanks for reading. Abrazos.
