Why Trump was/is/will be in the future terrible for our country in two stories
Last Friday in two different reality streams of the same world of Trumpland.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is not worried about artificial intelligence displacing U.S. jobs for at least 50 to 100 years, he said Friday. "I think that is so far in the future — in terms of artificial intelligence taking over American jobs — I think we're, like, so far away from that that," said Sec. Mnuchin at an event held by Axios. "Not even on my radar screen," he added.
Well, I guess that means we won't be trying to use this technology that at the White House even if it is basically responsible for what ~90% of job loss (http://fortune.com/2016/11/08/china-automation-jobs/). It's not even on their radar. Meanwhile in that exact same Trumpland...

Jared Kushner will be announced Monday as the head of the newly formed White House Office of American Innovation. The new White House office will work with the biggest names in tech, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
Now I wonder what the darlings of Tech are going to recommend to Jared Kushner to help innovate government. I mean, I'm totally sure they're going to recommend that AI and automation since they're 100 years off and we need to work with what we got now. Yeah, right. So basically while Trump pretends to be innovating government with technology, his Treasure secretary seems clueless to the actual goals of Trump's presidency. It's almost like no one is in charge of this presidency. Meanwhile automation is coming fast and they're in no GOP plan on how to cope with it. None. They're going to embrace it, pretend it isn't happening, not understand its happening, complain about immigrants, complain about fake statistics, and leave the next president with one hell of a totally predictable mess.
