Trump says anyone who does not refer to AI as super intelligence is 'THE ENEMY'

Commenters focused on Trump’s demand that people call AI “super intelligence” and his label of dissenters as “THE ENEMY,” splitting along two main lines. Several argued this is a deliberate loyalty test and a way to condition followers to obey, with users like bediger4000 and api calling it manipulative rather than merely foolish. Those voices warned that underestimating him by treating him as a clown misses a calculating manipulator who exploits populist failure modes in democracy, and one commenter pointed out that autocracies have their own obvious failure modes.

Others contended he’s simply an idiot and that democracy can devolve into lowbrow populism, with JohnFen calling him a con man who is adept at manipulation in limited ways but otherwise unintelligent. Some commenters emphasized that follower count matters regardless of objective correctness, invoking a Pol Pot comparison to show how influence and loyalty can drive real-world consequences. The thread also included mockery and sarcasm - one user joked about being declared “THE ENEMY” and riffed on even more hyperbolic labels - highlighting disagreement over intent (calculated power play) versus capability (incompetence) and a shared concern about the impact of followers.
