[QUOTE="fishtm2001, post: 6153903, member: 54375"] Tom Friedman on donald's bbb: "The Chinese simply can’t believe their luck: that at the dawn of the electricity-guzzling era of artificial intelligence, the U.S. president and his party have decided to engage in one of the greatest acts of strategic self-harm imaginable.
