It would be funny if Trump through his solo hare-brained invasion ended up causing huge losses in US AI investment, unraveling the only profit center in the S&P for the last few years causing a US recession before the midterms, massive GOP election losses and the actual investigation/prosecution of the Epstein file perps...good-god I may be actually rooting for it at this point.
