China Trump Has Learned How to Deal With China The president’s engagement with Xi is delivering results. (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images) This week, China’s President Xi Jinping returns to Washington, DC, a city he has not visited since 2015. This will be Xi’s first time meeting with President Donald Trump in the White House itself, and Trump has rolled out the red carpet for his Chinese counterpart. Ahead of the visit, much digital ink has been spilled trying to predict what the two leaders will discuss. Deservedly taking the spotlight are AI and its “shared risks ,” Chinese EVs’ access to the U.S. market, and the fate of the trade truce negotiated at Busan last year. But rather than forecasting exactly what might happen, a…Open

How has Trump's approach to Taiwan changed compared to his first term?
Trump has adopted a policy of "strategic ambiguity," avoiding the erraticism of his predecessor. For example, between September 2024 and February 2026, he did not mention Taiwan in his social media posts. When he does speak of it, he avoids specifics; in a November 2025 interview with Norah O'Donnell on 60 Minutes, when asked if he would order U.S. forces to defend Taiwan, he replied, “You’ll find out if it happens.”

AI has a long way to go before it can exterminate the human race. The post The Secret’s Out: It’s Actually ‘Artificial Stupidity’ appeared first on The American Conservative .

Artificial Intelligence The Secret’s Out: It’s Actually ‘Artificial Stupidity’ AI has a long way to go before it can exterminate the human race. (Ludovic MARIN / AFP via Getty Images) Artificial intelligence is going to be great. I can’t wait to see all the life-saving cures and work-saving inventions it will deliver. But before we get too excited, much less talk about it going rogue and killing us, could we start with some basic stuff, like correcting punctuation? It’s hard to scare me about AI when my Roomba still gets stuck under the couch, and Google’s AI can’t perform tasks that could be done by a teenage dullard, if you’ll forgive the redundancy. Nothing could be more trivial than catching missing commas in my…Open

THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Doug Bandow) - The President’s Irresponsible Power

If Trump wants the credit, he must also take the blame. The post The President’s Irresponsible Power appeared first on The American Conservative .

Politics The President’s Irresponsible Power If Trump wants the credit, he must also take the blame. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images) President Donald Trump’s popularity is suffering badly from another seemingly endless Mideast war. Amid rising prices, even some MAGA voters are turning against him, after supporting him due to the “affordability” crisis under the Biden administration. Since returning to the White House, Trump has dismissed the issue, claiming that prices are falling, and offered a $5,000 “dividend”—but only if Republicans retain control of Congress after the midterm elections. Of course, politicians commonly fault their predecessors. But Trump’s excuses appear increasingly threadbare as he nears the…Open
