Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba was asked for his first impression of President Donald Trump at the conclusion of their first meeting.  You could hear a pin drop as the White House press pool listens to the respect delivered.  WATCH:

.

Regarding the politics of the Japanese military aspect to the reply.  It is the legacy of assassinated Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was a close and dear friend of President Trump, that set Japan on the path to rebuilding their military and independent national security.  PM Abe was crossing the country to talk about the need for a newly built military that would provide American defense forces the ability to draw down.  PM Ishiba is continuing that legacy initiative.

RIP Shinzo Abe. He is greatly missed.

I’m not feeling any better about it, you guys know EXACTLY WHY. However, it’s good to know that President Trump is at least concerned about the potential runaway process within automated Artificial Intelligence.

During an interesting interview aboard Air-Force-One on the return from Las Vegas, President Trump was asked whether he was concerned about “artificial super intelligence” or fully automated AI.  President Trump said it was the first question he asked the AI team (Musk, Sacks, presumably Ellison and Altman).  Trump expressing the concern that it could be, “the rabbit that got away.”

The entire interview is loaded with some really interesting topics and insight; however, the AI comments come at 12:42 (prompted):

.

I also want to remind everyone that a DHS memo was issued on August 8th, 2023, discussing using AI as a tool for the domestic surveillance of American Citizens.

DHS’ AI task force is coordinating with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on how the department can partner with critical infrastructure organizations “on safeguarding their uses of AI and strengthening their cybersecurity practices writ large to defend against evolving threats.”

What are those critical infrastructure organizations?  They include voting systems.  Who or what are those evolving threats?  You!

During a press conference following a review of the devastated area, President Trump questioned why he was being told by Los Angeles residents that it would take 18 months for permits to begin the rebuilding process.

Los Angeles area officials are not permitting residents to clear their own lots after the fire.  Under the auspices of “hazardous material concern” the LA officials are telling residents they must wait for local officials to clear the area.  This ridiculous impediment resulted in President Donald Trump confronting Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass over the timing of when displaced residents can legally return to their properties to clear out debris after the recent fires.

President Trump drowned Karen Bass in buckets of common sense.  WATCH:

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump arrive in Asheville, North Carolina, to show support for those in Western North Carolina devastatingly impacted by Hurricane Helene.  President Trump has vowed to support the long-term recovery of the region and correct the negligent approach by Joe Biden and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

President Trump has said he increasingly sees the FEMA results as fraught with too much bureaucratic red tape and negligent positive results.  He is now holding the opinion that a better use of federal support funds is to allow the states to operate the recovery operations with federal assistance.

Upon arrival at the airport, President Trump and First Lady Melania delivered remarks to the assembled press pool as well as morale boosting conversations with those impacted.
