Mr. President, instead of slandering Abdul and his family, why don't you explain to the American people why you started an illegal and unconstitutional war in Iran? Mr. President, why don't you explain to the people of Michigan, people of Vermont, people all over this country really why you think the Big Tech oligarchs should be trusted with AI? Tell us why you think it's a great idea that we should have data centers in every community in America.
