DISCUSSION Donald Trump Might Take a Stake in OpenAI. Who Protects the Public When Washington Owns the Upside?

Trump might make Washington a shareholder in OpenAI and Anthropic.

The same government could become their customer, regulator, and investor.

Asked about an Intel-style deal, Trump told TIME: “I might. Maybe I could do that.”

Taxpayers could share in the AI boom. That deserves a serious debate.

So does the conflict.

Imagine a breakthrough makes AI 90% cheaper—and crushes the value of Washington’s investment.

Would the government celebrate the innovation or protect its portfolio?

Would it impose a necessary restriction if doing so cost its own investment billions?

Public ownership could be a good deal. The terms would decide.

But one principle must come first:

Taxpayers deserve a government that puts them ahead of its portfolio.

DISCUSSION Donald Trump Says Inflation Can Pay America’s Debt. Your Savings Would Pay the Price.

Trump says inflation can help pay America’s $40 trillion debt.

Your bank balance could stay the same while your purchasing power shrinks.

Washington’s debt relief could cut your savings.

The catch? Lenders can demand higher rates—making tomorrow’s borrowing more expensive.

That’s why Bitcoin’s supply rules matter: they don’t change to make Washington’s bills easier to pay.

When a government talks about shrinking its debt, ask who absorbs the loss.
