This is the guy who, as president, literally asked “who knew health care was so complicated”. And more recently, he thought he could waltz in any stop the fighting in the Middle East just by telling Israel and Palestine to get along, then threw a hissy fit when that didn’t work.
How anyone takes this man seriously or thinks he’s anything but a complete moron is beyond me. Not knowing what the fuck he’s doing is literally his only move.
Art of the Deal
Apart from the fact that Trump is a pedophile, rapist, fascist, and a criminal, he and his entire administration are also incredibly incompetent.
Wait until he learns they make chips. I can totally see him saying if Lay’s can make chips in the US then why can’t nvidia?
“No, no, no, I like Pringles, Pringles are amazing, Pringles are great. Everybody here at the Oval Office loves Pringles, we can’t get enough of’em.”
They’re boycotting Pringles as an evil trap created by the democrats to trap their hands in the cans so they can’t vote.
He’d be the first one to ask … “Pringles come in a can? What are you talking about?”
Took me a second more then I care to admit.
Here I am thinking what does Lay’s have to do with chips, made of silicon.
Good.
Now tell nvidia they can continue if they play nice with linux and use it as a bribe. And then call Adobe…
Good, NVIDIA can die for all I care with their anti consumer bullshit practises.
This felon rapist pedo is tanking fast.
😭😭😭 needs to go faster
Omg, this guy’s the fucking President of the USA… (I do have object permanence, yes, but he’s so fucking dumb, that I frequently re-experience the shock)
Did you hear that he found proof that Obama was "sedacious"?
Was his proof cutting up all the times his name appeared in the Epstein files and then spelling “OBAMA BAD” with the few letters of what was left?
I once saw Obama having a covfefe.
… my brain wants to assume it’s “seditious,” but my heart knows any assumption would be bold when it’s about what Trump meant…
Please take away Chrome and Andriod from Google first, please. Thank you.
Do it you fucking coward. While we’re at it, intel and amd as well
Intel is at deaths door. You just need a gentle push…
I’m glad they are at least trying to get into the GPU part of the business now.
You have to be kidding me. Mr AI president doesn’t know Nvidia? Their stock like quadrupled in value because of AI
Has the Nvidia CEO sent swathes of innocent people into concentration camps?
And man, Trump’s not even the most evil in his administration. That arguably goes to Stephen Miller.
I dunno, that’s a pretty high bar to clear.
I have a feeling that everyone in those positions of power are just competing for that title at this point
If Amerika makes so much energy maybe Canada should turn off our supply to them
You know what? Good. Do it. Let’s see what happens.
Let him cook that one though
Bet he won’t be able to remember being a pedophile when the time comes.
Whenever a company has reached a critical size or control of the market that it is no longer incentived to serve the interests of its customers and starts serving its shareholder’s instead, it should be broken up. This is the only way you will see actual innovation and positive growth again.
Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta are only a few in a long list that are long overdue to be broken up.
That being said, Trump is more believably saying that to scare them into giving him a bride. He just pulled his head out of his ass just enough to hear about a “new” company with deep pockets and smelled the money.
some people on this thread need to understand that two things can be true,
the headline can be misleading yea but it can also not really matter
in other words, I’m the grand totality of all the actually harmful things he has said and actions he is doing… this feels like a nothing burger to me lollll. So people think he can just wear his little fingers and Nvidia magically breaks up? even if he goes after th administratively, it’s not like Nvidia would just roll over 😭it’s just absurd to even take this seriously in the first place imo. idk I think it’s funny people are debating about what he actually said when it doesn’t really matter, dudes going senile and Nvidia is gigantic corporation that can defend itself and also fuck it I wouldn’t mind if they got broken up tbh. people will find whatever to argue about
I smell another “lawsuit” that is totally legit guys I swear, and NVidia just happens to settle out of court with DJT to the tune of millions even though every laywer/judge on the planet says the case is without merit. Move along, justice working as expected.
Oh neat, the tech flavored distraction, place your bets on whats next. My bet is he tried that freedom fries shit again.
Fun
Kinda clears up his motives when he doesnt even know the name of the countries, even the worlds, largest company. Well fucking done, Mr. Clownident.
I am so sick of that fucking traitor cunt.

This is a clickbait headline from Tom’s, as that’s not how the speech was worded. Per their own cherry picked quotes
He’s implying he had never really heard of Nvidia before, like most of the US population.
Tom’s does this all the time; they’re notorious for it in the PC Hardware news community.
Yes Trump is an idiot and his speeches are stupid, but can we please not have ragebait stretching it even more?
I’m sorry to keep bringing this up and getting so sour, but I feel like Lemmy’s information hygiene is deteriorating, and we’re happily upvoting it away. Big community mods need to put their foots down and put up basic soft rules, like:
Link the original source (in this case the NBC video), link the place you found it in the description.
Check the Wikipedia perennial news table (which, to be fair, Tom’s isn’t in yet): en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/…/Perennial_sources
Try to avoid ragebait

Trying to put Trump quotes into context is like trying to read a Pollock, it’s not possible and it’s not supposed to be. Your interpretation really didn’t change any of the meaning for me, and it certainly didn’t contradict the headline.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Here’s the actual video source:
youtu.be/BrTT7dX0mcQ?t=851
And if you don’t want that, a clip of the auto transcript I ripped from YouTube:
Trump’s clearly referencing learning about Nvidia in the past, and getting to know Jensen. Tom’s headline, on the other hand"
Is worded to imply Trump didn’t know who Nvidia is during or just before the speech, cherry picking a quote with no context, but technically plausibly deniable. Call it what you want, but that is classic tabloid journalism from Tom’s.

THANK YOU. I’ve said many times, lemmy will upvote anything they believe to be true without a second thought. Then we turn around and make fun of gullible Boomers on FaceBook.
Around 1999 I learned to fact check if a headline or meme sounded crazy. Still applies today y’all!

I remember this happening back when everyone was using forums. This is a "Social Media" problem, not just a Lemmy problem. I have no idea how to fix it, but it's been around longer than votes have been a thing.
pennomi@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Twitter did exactly one thing right, and it’s community notes. Lemmy could definitely use a feature like that where the users can provide context that corrects clickbait headlines. Other than comments of course.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yeah. To be fair, everyone’s gotta slowly learn that.
But I think it’s fair for communities/mods to lay down some posting standards.

Nobody but computer nerds had heard of NVIDIA back then. Go outside right now and snatch 10 neighbors or strangers, ask them if they know anything about the company.
I can only think of 3 people on my block who have heard of them. Me (35 years of IT), young neighbor (works county IT), young neighbor (PC gamer). Bet not another soul on the whole block would have a clue.
As my favorite YouTuber Paul Harrell (RIP) always said:
“Everything I’m saying today are my conclusions and my opinions. My opinions are based on my education, my training, my experience. Different people have different experiences so they have different opinions. I make no claim that my opinion has its origin in the mind of greatness. And if someone does tell you that their opinion has such origins, you should be very incredulous.”

To PC gamers and hardware nerds. Not to the average person or the high levels of US politics.
Woht24@lemmy.world 1 day ago
100%.
Frequently Lemmy left users appear as deluded as Trump supporters with their foaming at the mouth support for anything and everything anti Trump.
It’s like hating Trump is a personality trait now, it’s fucking sad.

Thanks for outting yourself. I haven’t blocked anyone here lately.
yagurlreese@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I mean, I don’t have a problem with hating Trump being a personality trait. explain why I should like him, he’s represents everything I despise and it’s having the country somehow am even bigger laughing stock of the world. I mean I think he’s a character and fun to watch sometimes, but that’s about it. don’t really know how you can make Trump look worse than he already does with his hateful vile words and disgraceful record. he’s brought a new level of corruption to an already corrupt office, which I find quite astounding
I can’t see how anyone would be like, ‘why are people so quickly anti trump’ if you ask noone with braincells and good intentions should be supporting him (or the Dems for that matter)! but certainly.mot ana administration that is actively covering up one of the greatest child trafficking rings in modern history.
sorry for the rant but I just truley do not get this take 😭
I’d be more shocked if I came to lemmy and it read like r/conservatives
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s also how we got Trump. We overfed the troll.
artyom@piefed.social 1 day ago
I mean I realize we're talking about a moron here but grammar is important:
"I've never heard of them" vs "I had never heard of them"
So no, not clickbait.
floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
The journalist pretty clearly put the quotation marks in the wrong place. It should be this:
He’s quoting himself, in the past, saying “I’ve never heard of it before.” He’s not saying that he hasn’t heard of NVIDIA in the present moment. The context makes that clear, because in the next paragraph he describes how he got to know Jensen Huang and learn about NVIDIA. But the journalist closed the quote too early.

I think it was a couple of years ago, I made a reply on a thread where people were accusing the acreage Reddit user of being a bot or a shill (rightly so) - anyway, my position was that Lemmy is already being infected by similar.
Oh man did people get salty; but I swear it’s only been getting worse.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’m not accusing anyone of being a bot or shill.
But I think information hygiene is super, super important, lest the Fediverse meet the same fate as the rest of the internet.
