During a speech to mark the unveiling of his new AI Action Plan, President Donald Trump revealed that he suggested simply breaking up Nvidia, despite appearing to have never heard of the company or its CEO, Jensen Huang.
Trump made the remarks on stage at an AI summit in Washington, D.C., as he unveiled the United States' new AI Action Plan.

"I said, look, we'll break this guy up — this is before I learned the facts of life — I said we'll break 'em up," he continued. "They said 'very hard', I said 'Why?' I said, what percentages of the market does he have? 'Sir, he has 100%.'"

"I figured we could go in and we could sort of break them up a little bit, get them a little competition, and I found it's not easy in that business." Trump even claims he suggested putting together "the greatest minds" to work "hand in hand for a couple of years" to try and match Nvidia's success, upon which he says he was told it would take 10 years to catch Nvidia if Huang ran it "totally incompetently from now on."

President Donald Trump loves artificial intelligence, calling it “one of the most important technological revolutions in the history of the world” at an AI summit in Washington Wednesday.

“Everyone around the globe is talking about artificial intelligence…. ‘Artificial,’ I can’t stand it. I don’t even like the name,” he said. “You know, I don’t like anything that’s artificial. So could we straighten that out please? We should change the name.”
Over laughter, he clarified: “I actually mean that.”

“I don’t like the name ‘artificial’ anything because it’s not ‘artificial,’ it’s genius. It’s pure genius,” Trump said.

He not only thinks AI is genius, our ridiculous-looking orange president says he doesn't like anything that's artificial.
Anyone have video of the reactions from his audience as he said this?
