Reason Magazine published a brief commentary on October 9, 2026, reacting to a post by Donald Trump on Truth Social. The post, which Reason describes as declaring the author and everyone who uses the term 'Artificial Intelligence' as 'THE ENEMY!', is presented without further context from Trump. Reason's commentary consists of two rhetorical questions: 'What is this even supposed to mean?' and 'Is it just self-parody?', expressing confusion and skepticism about the meaning and seriousness of Trump's statement. The article does not provide additional analysis or reporting beyond this reaction.
Source report
Former President Donald Trump has posted a confusing message on Truth Social, declaring himself "THE ENEMY" — along with anyone who uses the term "artificial intelligence."
The post, which can be viewed here, reads:
"I Am Now 'THE ENEMY!' (as Is Everyone Who Uses the Term 'Artificial Intelligence')"
The meaning of the statement remains unclear, raising questions about whether it is intended as self-parody or a serious declaration.
