President Donald Trump is facing a fresh call for his removal from office after a rapid-fire series of Truth Social posts about artificial intelligence, China, oil prices and his proposed “Trump Dividends” triggered another round of questions from critics about his fitness for office.
Trump, 80, began Monday with a fiery message rejecting calls for stronger guardrails around artificial intelligence and arguing that his leadership is enough to keep the rapidly developing technology under control.
Ben Meiselas on Donald Trump’s unhinged post about AI and data centers: Is this not the most ridiculous crap you’ve ever heard? Can y’all just impeach and remove and 25th Amendment this guy and throw this criminal in jail where he belongs? Maybe this is why sexual predators should not be in the Oval Office. Maybe this is why people who have bankrupted most of their businesses should not be in the Oval Office. Maybe this is why people who have been found civilly liable for sexual assault should not be in the Oval Office. This is why people who have been found liable for fraud should not be in the Oval Office. So utterly ridiculous.

“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Trump wrote.
The president also lashed out at Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who has warned about the potential risks posed by increasingly powerful AI systems.
Trump accused opponents of aggressive AI development of being part of what he called a “SICK conspiracy” that would benefit China and warned “Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers” to “BEWARE!”
Trump has repeatedly argued that heavy restrictions on American AI companies could allow China to gain an advantage in the global technology race.
But the president was far from finished.
In another lengthy post, Trump dismissed fears that artificial intelligence could eventually pose an existential danger to humans as a “HOAX.”
Instead, he predicted that AI and the massive data centers powering it could become the “Greatest Economic Development Engine in History,” surpassing oil, gold, diamonds and even the internet.
The flood of posts quickly drew fire from Trump’s political critics.
Ben Meiselas, co-founder of the progressive media outlet MeidasTouch, seized on the messages and called for Congress and members of Trump’s administration to remove him from office.
“Can y’all just impeach and remove and 25th Amendment this guy,” Meiselas said while reacting to Trump’s AI comments.
Meiselas also pointed to Trump’s past legal troubles and business record while arguing that he should not be president. His comments represent the views of one of Trump’s outspoken political opponents, not a medical assessment of the president.
Trump has previously faced questions and attacks from critics over his age and mental fitness, while Trump and his allies have repeatedly rejected suggestions that he is incapable of carrying out his duties.
Monday’s posting spree extended beyond artificial intelligence.
Trump also blamed rising diesel prices on the Russia-Ukraine war, reiterated his promise surrounding proposed “Trump Dividends,” and claimed Iran once again “badly” wants to reach a deal with the United States.
The AI comments came after Trump was questioned about the technology during a weekend trip to Ireland. Asked whether he was downplaying warnings from technology executives, Trump said he was not, but argued AI would ultimately produce far more benefits than harm.
“No, we are not downplaying,” Trump told reporters. “But you know it’s going to be more good than bad by a lot.”
The president’s latest social media barrage is now giving his opponents fresh ammunition as the debate over his age, temperament and use of Truth Social continues to follow him through his second term.
