🚨 HUGE: Trump is building what Victor Davis Hanson calls a new War Production Board—this time for AI, biotech, and national security.
Just as FDR mobilized industry in WWII, Trump is enlisting America’s tech titans to secure U.S. dominance in the 21st century.
THREAD 🧵
2/ Last week at the White House, Trump assembled some of the most powerful CEOs in the world:
➡️ Tim Cook (Apple)
➡️ Sundar Pichai (Google)
➡️ Mark Zuckerberg (Meta)
➡️ Bill Gates (Microsoft)
➡️ Sam Altman (OpenAI)
➡️ Arvind Krishna (IBM)
Even his critics showed up.
3/ The mission? 🇺🇸
➡️ Ensure America dominates AI, robotics, biotech & crypto.
➡️ Stop China from stealing our breakthroughs.
➡️ Keep jobs and innovation on U.S. soil.
Trump’s deal: no picking winners, no EU-style regulation—just unleash American innovation.
4/ This isn’t just about tech.
It’s about national survival.
China is pouring billions into AI + biotech. If they win, they dominate the battlefield, the economy, and the future.
Trump knows America must out-innovate Beijing—or lose the century.
5/ The parallel with history is clear.
In 1939, the U.S. military was weaker than 18 other nations. By 1945, after Roosevelt’s War Production Board mobilized private industry, America had:
⚡ The world’s largest navy & air force
⚡ 300,000 planes built
⚡ The atomic bomb
6/ But here’s the twist:
FDR was a Socialist who finally turned to industry out of desperation.
Trump is a capitalist who starts with the same premise: only private enterprise can out-produce our enemies.
This time, the war is economic, technological, and digital.
7/ The stakes:
➡️ AI deciding wars before they start.
➡️ Biotech rewriting economies and healthcare.
➡️ Crypto shaping financial sovereignty.
➡️ Robotics defining industry and defense.
If America leads, we thrive. If China leads, we bend the knee.
8/ Trump’s genius is forcing even liberal CEOs who despise him politically to admit reality:
They need him to protect them from…
✅ China
✅ EU regulators
✅ Washington bureaucrats
In return, they must commit to American workers and American soil.
9/ This is Trump’s 21st-century arsenal of democracy:
💡 Tech giants as allies, not adversaries.
💡 Innovation as the new steel & oil.
💡 AI as the new B-29.
And once again, America’s destiny depends on out-producing our enemies.
10/ Trump is building the modern War Production Board.
Not with tanks & bombers this time—but with AI, biotech, and technology that will decide the future.
🇺🇸 America won WWII by outproducing its enemies.
🇺🇸 Under Trump, we’ll do it again.
