Daily Kos this morning:
Melania Trump’s newest fake job started this week when she hosted the “Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit.” The new initiative is supposed to be For The Children, but looks more like an international sales conference for President Donald Trump’s favorite technology companies.
But on Wednesday, things got, uh, a little weird when the first lady entered with “Figure 03,” an AI robot.
Sure, why not? It’s not like Melania has any real obligations at this summit, so yeah, whatever, bring a robot friend. [snip]
This summit was supposed to be all about how the children are our future, and Melania and the random collection of countries and companies in attendance would help teach them well and let them lead the way. But it isn’t at all clear why that required a robot. [snip]
While there is no need at all for the robot to be here as Melania’s plus-one, the Trump administration actually does have a specific reason for letting the robot take a stroll. You will not be surprised to learn it has nothing to do with schoolchildren.
Donald Trump is currently preparing an executive order on robotics. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is already meeting with CEOs of robotics companies, and the Department of Transportation is spinning up a robotics working group. Those robotics companies are angling for tax breaks and sweet, sweet government contracts with your tax dollars—hence, the very special robot appearance...
So, the usual pay-to-play angle that's a hallmark of this most corrupt regime in American history.
Well, it also gave us this picture and headline, so that's something, too.
BONUS: It also gave Gov. Gavin Newsom something, too:
