The New York Times on Monday published a blockbuster report detailing how US President Donald Trump’s administration gave the United Arab Emirates access to high-powered artificial intelligence chips just days after receiving a massive investment in Trump’s cryptocurrency startup.
As the Times report documented, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) ruling family, had one of his investment firms deposit $2 billion into World Liberty Financial, the startup founded by members of the Trump family and the family of Trump Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
Just two weeks later, wrote the Times, “the White House agreed to allow the UAE access to hundreds of thousands of the world’s most advanced and scarce computer chips, a crucial tool in the high-stakes race to dominate artificial intelligence,” despite national security concerns about these chips being shared with China.

Maybe, maybe not. Pretty soon, the billionaires are going to be targeted. We’ll see if they do their own thing.
The billionaires own and or buy the press. So long as the billionaires want more power and money and to pull that money from the working class they have the support of the executive and judicial branch now. The most powerful branch in a republic is supposed to be the legislature. By far in my opinion. Yet right now we have gotten to the point where the executive branch may honestly be hoping for a shutdown because it only makes Congress look worse.
“They never get anything done and I can” is the image that will likely be pushed soon by this administration. The President doesn’t believe in freedom of speech, press, assembly, or religion. He only believes in populism, and trying to create an authoritarian rule over people using the media to manipulate the people to make him popular regardless of people’s rights getting stomped on in the process. He wants money flowing into his pockets, and everyone around him to praise him for it. He doesn’t care that the money coming into his pockets is coming from working class Americans, so long as they are foolish enough to keep him in a place where he can keep making that money.
If you think the MAGA government, or even a Democratic government, is going to hold Billionaires responsible for anything, you’re delusional. The worst they would do to them is give them a multi-billion dollar government contract, and a huge tax break.
No, I meant trump is going to russia style and go after the oligarch’s money.
