Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, is known for his decisive leadership style and his commitment to fostering American innovation. Recently, he revoked a regulation initiated by Joe Biden, which he deemed restrictive for the growth of the AI industry. Trump's aim was to prioritize competitiveness and excellence over adhering to what he referred to as "woke" standards. In his evaluation of global technological advancements, Trump pointed to a breakthrough by a Chinese AI company, Deep Seq AI, which developed a faster and more cost-effective method enhancing AI efficiency. He viewed this as both a challenge and an opportunity, urging U.S. industries and scientists—regarded by even Chinese officials as the world's most brilliant—to step up their game. Trump's focus remains on maintaining America's leading edge in technology and innovation.

All of life is one big Jedi mind trick.
If pursuit isn’t bringing you joy, ease off of the pursuit and focus on what you already have.
If all you have is a pot to piss in, good. You’re not dying of cancer.
And if you’re dying of cancer, good. It will make you savor this moment.
The only reason I enjoy my life is precisely because I DONT value myself for succeeding. I only pursue things because I like the chase.
If I wasn’t having fun with the pursuit I would stop chasing and never look back.
I remind myself constantly that in my back pocket is the option to choose monk-like detachment.
Wanting is the disease. Helping others is the cure.
Read the Tao te Ching. It will change your life if you let it.
None of us ever achieve our desired level of greatness. Greatness itself is a trap.
Sit with your eyes closed and think of those you love. Fill your heart with that love. If you love no one, get a dog.
Pour yourself into those who need it. Stop thinking you will love yourself when you achieve. You won’t. You will love yourself when you decide that you’re already enough. Flawed as you are.
When self-improvement stops being fun, slow down and love something.
Want nothing more than you have. Need nothing more than a warm room, a full belly, and something that smiles or wags it tail when it sees you.
Life really is that simple.
And have cheap hobbies.
Love you, brother. Wish life was easier. But it’s not.
