Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 14, 2026

President Trump lashed out at calls for new AI guardrails and protections on Monday, arguing AI only needs a "STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT" and that AI critics should "BEWARE!"

Why it matters: Trump continues to plant himself against calls for AI safety regulations as a growing chorus of AI leaders and CEOs, spearheaded by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei over the weekend, call for a slowdown in AI's development and better regulations to help keep humanity safe.

"What he's saying: Trump said Monday afternoon that fears of "AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX," putting it on par with Russian election interference claims and his own impeachments.

He said the AI development "will not be stopped by brilliantly run Destructive Forces" under his presidency.

"WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS! We are leading China, and all others, and will continue to do so."

Trump said his administration "has stopped AI 'people' from doing bad, or potentially bad, 'things,'" though he didn't elaborate.

The other side: China's Foreign Ministry also criticized calls to slow AI development Monday, per CNBC.

"Fear-mongering, confrontation, competition will just disrupt [the] process of global AI governance," said Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry."

"China is harnessing AI to make its existing systems of control far more efficient and intrusive.

AI lets the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) monitor more people, more closely, with less effort," said Nathan Attrill, a report co-author and senior China analyst at ASPI, which is partially funded by the Australian and other foreign governments.

"In practice, AI has become the backbone of a far more pervasive and predictive form of authoritarian control."

DJT may be a cunning corporate ploy to make America think that they are lucky to have someone like JD Vance.* ;)
