I don't think Trump has ever cared what the US intelligence community has to say about anything. Maybe when AI hacks his TruthSocial.

Have you already forgotten the Claude Fable ban from a few months ago? That’s exactly what happened.

Amazon called up Trump and said Fable was too dangerous. Trump called up the NSA and Asked For Their Opinion. They agreed, so Trump banned it.

That's not how I remember it. Anthropic didn't grovel sufficiently when the White House/Pentagon wanted to use their models to kill people, so they were penalized for their disloyalty.

His carefully crafted public persona. For all we know, he was a long con by the deep state, played a Russian agent since the 1980s, cooperated with Epstein on Iran Contra [1], backstabbed Epstein in the early 2000s and went on to be president twice.

Twice by lying to MAGA about his true intentions, which are fundamentally neocon just like Musk's and Thiel's. They all lie about being libertarians and anti-deep-state.

[1] He was on a boat with Robert Maxwell and several Iran Contra folks around 1990.
