He love the publicity and most people won't realize that he doesn't have anything to do with this.

AI very much has to do with the state. It's an arms race between China and the USA, per many [4]. And China doesn't seem to be behind any longer [1].

It's not only Trump. Before leaving Biden already ordered the DoE and the DoD to lease sites for data centers and energy generation. The only reason we don't see a "Department of AI" or a "National AI Agency" is due to how the military industrial complex works, and a lot of lobbying I'm sure.

Funny how he said he did this, but then right during the press conference they mention the data centers already under construction from Biden time frame.
