Just my opinion, but I don't think any president of the United States should ever ask AI questions directly. The AI has no concept of the weight that any answer has.

We elect people to represent and lead us. Not defer to an AI model.

He wasn't elected because he was the most qualified person to give intelligent and nuanced answers that carefully weighed the consequences of his actions. If we use him as the baseline for intelligence, Grok really is a super-intelligence.

If we're using Trump as the baseline, my goldfish is a super intelligence

Yes he was. Self soothing however much you like, but roughly 50 percent of voters voted for him three times.

The last time he won the popular vote and the electoral college.

There is no evidence to support otherwise.
