Trump Calls AI-Doom Fears A Hoax, Names Himself 'Hoax Buster'

Trump Calls AI-Doom Fears A Hoax, Names Himself 'Hoax Buster'

In a Monday Truth Social post, he compared AI-takeover fears to Russiagate and the 'Global Warming Scam.'

  • Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on September 14, 2026 at 4:34 pm ET, dismissing AI-takeover warnings as a manufactured hoax.
  • "This is even wilder than the RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX, or the Global Warming Scam."
  • The post ties directly to voter unease over AI, a live issue in the 2026 midterms.

Why it matters: Branding a fear a hoax spares the man in power from ever answering it.
