With so many actions taken by President Donald Trump in his first seven weeks in office, it can be hard to figure out what the dealmaker-in-chief views as his favorite accomplishment.
From ending the border crisis in record time to draining the "swamp," Trump and his White House team have already touched more problems than any other president in such a short time, according to presidential historians.
But one move does stand out: His historic Day Two announcement of securing $500 billion in private investment for “Stargate AI,” which will push the U.S. into the lead in artificial intelligence.
Trump’s team made the agreement the top item listed on its first 100 Hours “Golden Age” list. Now some are regretting that.
The reason: Altman is hosting a top-dollar fundraiser for Trump critic Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) in 10 days. The San Francisco event is collecting donations from $1,000 to $22,000.
According to the New York Times, Altman had stepped away from hosting big fundraisers, so returning it to host a Trump critic is angering administration insiders, they told Secrets.
The fundraiser has also drawn White House attention to OpenAI’s liberal board, including former Clinton era Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, Sue Desmond-Hellmann, the former chief of the Gates Foundation, and Bret Taylor, the former Twitter chief when the platform banned Trump at the end of his first term.
