AI warnings are a 'hoax' and Trump himself is sufficient as the only guardrail AI needs

Oracle Summary

Donald Trump lands at 74/100 (heavy cope) for denial. Trump explicitly calls expert AI warnings a 'hoax' and claims sole presidential authority is sufficient guardrail. This is textbook denial: labeling legitimate structural concerns as fabricated while substituting personal confidence for evidence-based regulation. The cope is compounded by dismissing regulatory necessity as economic suicide ('kill the Golden Goose') and attributing concern to partisan motivation ('Radical Left'). High score warranted for explicit denial of AI risk, magical self-regulation claims, and economic fantasy framing despite his own party's local opposition.
