Opinion Artificial intelligence can't come soon enough. We've used up the regular kind.

President Trump is smarter than everybody else put together. When somebody who thinks such a thing also happens to be president of the United States, you know that you have come to the end of something or other. We do know we are not at the end of history, because Francis Fukuyama notwithstanding, what history teaches (and maybe the ONLY thing it teaches) is that it keeps going. On top of all the other outrageous aspects of the Trump presidency, we have the absolutely exhausting one of trying daily to disentangle the web of nonsense and distortion being continuously ejected from the Trump spinneret. This will last, alas, as long as the Trump presidency does.
