AI concerns are hoaxes, US must not hinder AI development, and AI will be 25% of GDP

Oracle Summary

Donald Trump lands at 28/100 (moderate) for fantasy economics. Trump combines denial of AI risks ('hoaxes'), fantasy economics (25% GDP claim without structural analysis), and minimisation of community concerns about data centers. While framed as policy rather than economic analysis, these statements reflect comfort-story economics typical of CopeCheck heavy cope: dismissing legitimate safety concerns while projecting magical economic benefits. The 25% GDP projection ignores displacement, productivity unevenness, and rentier concentration dynamics.
