The Wall Street Journal has another ridiculous story today that China is dominating us, and the World, on the production of Electricity having to do with AI. They're WRONG, as usual! Every AI plant being built in the United States is building its own Electric Generating Facilities. The approvals are being given carefully, but very quickly, a matter of weeks. Any excess Electricity being produced is going to our Electric Grid, which is being strengthened, and expanded, for other purposes than AI, like never before. In other words, AI has far more Electricity than they will ever need because, they are building the facilities that produce it, themselves. We are leading the World in AI, BY FAR, because of a gentleman named DONALD J. TRUMP!

Fact Checks (3)

"Every AI plant being built in the United States is building its own Electric Generating Facilities"

Mostly True

Major tech companies (Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta) have announced on-site power generation for AI data centers, though not literally every facility.

"We are leading the World in AI, BY FAR"

Half True

US leads in frontier model development and investment, but China leads in certain deployment metrics, research papers, and AI patent filings. 'BY FAR' overstates the margin.

"Approvals are being given in a matter of weeks"

Unverifiable

No specific project approval timelines cited; energy infrastructure permitting typically takes months to years.

Psychological Analysis: AI Electricity / WSJ Response (2025-12-11)

Overview

Trump responds to a Wall Street Journal article about China's dominance in AI-related electricity production. The post follows a familiar pattern: media criticism triggers a defensive but grandiose rebuttal, culminating in third-person self-reference.

Authorship

Posted at 3:07 PM ET (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago or DC). The post is substantive but contains characteristic Trump markers: odd capitalization ("Electric Generating Facilities," "Electric Grid"), the third-person self-aggrandizing close, and reactive emotional framing ("ridiculous," "WRONG, as usual!"). The policy content suggests possible aide involvement in drafting, but the emotional bookends and capitalization patterns are authentically Trump. Likely a hybrid—aide-drafted talking points with Trump's personal touch.

Psychological Dynamics

The WSJ article functions as a narcissistic injury: it implies Trump's America is losing to China on AI infrastructure. The response is a textbook narcissistic repair sequence: (1) devalue the source ("ridiculous," "WRONG, as usual"), (2) assert grandiose counter-narrative, (3) claim personal credit in third person.

The closing line—"because of a gentleman named DONALD J. TRUMP"—is a striking example of third-person self-reference that serves both grandiosity and parasocial intimacy, as if narrating a heroic tale.

Cognitive Notes

The argument has internal coherence issues: claiming AI companies "have far more Electricity than they will ever need" while also saying excess goes to the grid conflates current and future states. The odd capitalization of common nouns ("Electricity," "Electric Grid") is consistent with baseline Trump patterns rather than cognitive decline.
