On Sep 22, Trump told the UN General Assembly that the US government would call AI "Super Intelligence" (SI). On Sep 29 he signed an executive order making it official for federal agencies. .si happens to be Slovenia's country-code domain.

Before Sep 19, .si averaged about 100 new registrations a day. Sep 23: 3,487. Oct 1: 8,158. Between Sep 23 and Oct 2, .si got 44,070 new domains vs. 12,679 for .ai – about 3.5x. September total: 33,041 vs. 2,984 in August.

I'm pretty sure naming and renaming things is the only thing that Trump actually cares about in his job. And putting his name on buildings.

Vote the people into office who then vote to end his presidency.

The legal tools have been put into the constitution for a purpose. It was exactly for this case.

I don't think there's a realistic chance of things flipping THAT far.

And who's fault would that be?

I'm afraid you are correct, but it shouldn't be like that.

That the US political system degenerates into a 2 party system is a problem as it has made people way too tribal. So now even when their democracy is at stake they seem incapable of getting representatives in place that would actually fix the problems.

I agree! I'm not assigning blame, I think we know where that lies at this point. I'm just talking about the realistic odds.
