This is a clickbait headline from Tom’s, as that’s not how the speech was worded. Per their own cherry picked quotes

Trump continued, "I said, 'Who the hell is he? What's his name?' 'His name is Jensen Huang, Nvidia, ' I said, 'What the hell is Nvidia?' I've never heard of it before.

The context being he had never really heard of Nvidia before they got so high profile, like most of the US population.

Tom's does this all the time; they’re notorious for it in the PC Hardware news community.

Yes Trump is an idiot and his speeches are stupid, but can we please not have ragebait stretching it even more?

I’m sorry to keep bringing this up and getting so sour, but I feel like Lemmy's information hygiene is deteriorating, and we're happily upvoting it away. Big community mods need to put their foots down and put up basic soft rules, like:

• Link the original source (in this case the NBC video), link the place you found it in the description if you wish.

• Check the Wikipedia perennial news table (which, to be fair, Tom's isn’t in yet): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources

• Try to avoid ragebait

Tim Nvidia will be pissed

This is the guy who, as president, literally asked "who knew health care was so complicated". And more recently, he thought he could waltz in any stop the fighting in the Middle East just by telling Israel and Palestine to get along, then threw a hissy fit when that didn't work.

How anyone takes this man seriously or thinks he's anything but a complete moron is beyond me. Not knowing what the fuck he's doing is literally his only move.

Apart from the fact that Trump is a pedophile, rapist, fascist, and a criminal, he and his entire administration are also incredibly incompetent.

Wait until he learns they make chips. I can totally see him saying if Lay's can make chips in the US then why can't nvidia?

also fuck Donald Trump, illiterate pedophile fuck.

Good, NVIDIA can die for all I care with their anti consumer bullshit practises.

This felon rapist pedo is tanking fast.

Good.

Now tell nvidia they can continue if they play nice with linux and use it as a bribe. And then call Adobe...

nVidia? I barely even know her.

Omg, this guy's the fucking President of the USA... (I do have object permanence, yes, but he's so fucking dumb, that I frequently re-experience the shock)

Please take away Chrome and Andriod from Google first, please. Thank you.

Do it you fucking coward. While we're at it, intel and amd as well. The tech oligopoly needs to fall

You have to be kidding me. Mr AI president doesn't know Nvidia? Their stock like quadrupled in value because of AI

Whenever a company has reached a critical size or control of the market that it is no longer incentived to serve the interests of its customers and starts serving its shareholder's instead, it should be broken up. This is the only way you will see actual innovation and positive growth again.

Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta are only a few in a long list that are long overdue to be broken up.

That being said, Trump is more believably saying that to scare them into giving him a bride. He just pulled his head out of his ass just enough to hear about a "new" company with deep pockets and smelled the money.

If Amerika makes so much energy maybe Canada should turn off our supply to them

Let him cook that one though

Bet he won't be able to remember being a pedophile when the time comes.

You know what? Good. Do it. Let’s see what happens.

some people on this thread need to understand that two things can be true,

the headline can be misleading yea but it can also not really matter

in other words, I'm the grand totality of all the actually harmful things he has said and actions he is doing... this feels like a nothing burger to me lollll. So people think he can just wear his little fingers and Nvidia magically breaks up? even if he goes after th administratively, it's not like Nvidia would just roll over 😭it's just absurd to even take this seriously in the first place imo. idk I think it's funny people are debating about what he actually said when it doesn't really matter, dudes going senile and Nvidia is gigantic corporation that can defend itself and also fuck it I wouldn't mind if they got broken up tbh. people will find whatever to argue about
