This fuckwit doesn’t know and he doesn’t care. This is nothing more than a distraction.
That’s a great idea! I’m sure he has a concept of a plan how to achieve this.
That’s code for he wants more money from them, then he’ll give them grants or just tax payer money directly
A normal president would roll out proposed legislation, with a senator or two to back it.
For this guy, “changes are coming” is code for “we have no definite plan of action, but we’re floating this trial balloon to see who we can extort money from.”
I can assure everyone absolutely nothing will change and he’ll forget he said this next week. Epstein files anyone?
Right after the $2000 checks and 0% income tax
Jeff will just remind him about that movie he made for his fully depreciated woman and this will get buried
A little late for that, dick breath.
Well that certainly sounds like we’ll be picking up the tab
stop listening to what he say, instead observe what he actually does
big tech and russians bought him presidency, he may shit talk both but at the end of the day he will serve their interests
AI companies about to get a bunch of TACOs
He will get right on it – after he annexes Greenland, and definitely before he has a healthcare plan beyond just a concept.
Then, nothing will happen, the prices will still keep going up, and he will call it a hoax.
I guess he’s worried the GOP will lose the midterms. There must not be enough time to gerrymander.
Fees sound great, but try getting major grid upgrades approved here-feels like pulling teeth. UAE’s energy pros aren’t stuck in endless reviews; they actually get to build what’s needed.
Maybe they should use solar panels or wind turbines to create their own free energy 🤔
Is the electricity bill for AI data centers really more costly than invading Greenland?
Trump 6 months ago:
*bans all states from regulating AI in any way*
These deals have already been made. So him just talking shit means nothing.
Data center promise = Epstein files distraction.
All talk, no walk. All Trump does is say something to distract you with so he can kick the can without a plan
So am I getting retroactively refunded and a reduced power bill in the future? Like where the policy?
So…he wants them back on their knees working the shaft as he works the grift?
If he actually cared, he wouldn’t have helped stomp out so many electric projects like wind farms.
These are the same people who are trying to eliminate the estate tax as part of a plan to tackle housing.
“Pay their own way” = bribe me with a lot more money than they already have.
He is saying to them “Give me money or I’ll do this”. They will “donate” a bunch of money to him and he’ll forget all about it.
Still waiting for my $2000 tariff check….
Sounds like another lie.
I don’t believe him.
Haha, tech bros wondering why they are paying for that ballroom right about now
he wants tech companies to pay their own way but he begs people for money to pay his legal bills
