Trump on the possibility of a Universal Basic Equity (UBE) system: "...where the American people can benefit from the success of AI. And by doing that, they're going to like it better."
He seemingly references AI's terrible public favorability.
Donald Trump is basically describing Universal Capital Ownership.
If AI creates trillions of dollars in new wealth, normal people should not just watch a few companies and investors get insanely rich.
The public should own a piece of the upside too.
That could mean equity stakes, public dividends, or a national AI wealth fund where every citizen benefits when AI companies win.
Because if AI starts doing more of the work, wages alone won’t be enough. People need ownership.
This is how you make the AI revolution something the whole country can support.
Let Americans share in the wealth of the most important technology boom in human history.
