I expect that Navarro will be needing to do a "high prices are good news" bit once stockpiled goods in warehouses in the US also run dry.
If Trump thought that this statement would be a political winner, I suspect that he'd be doing it himself, rather than having Navarro doing so. Right now, the only thing that Trump's currently seeing net positives in the polls I've most-recently seen is his immigration policy. Not on the economy.
I'm confused.
First, from the article, my understanding is that Google is talking about providing support for their LLM model on Apple's iOS phones (I assume via querying an off-phone server, rather than locally). This would mean that iOS users have the ability to use Google's LLM model, Gemini, instead of just ChatGPT being available.
The Pixel is an Android phone sold by Google. This isn't the hardware or OS being discussed, and I assume that if you have a Pixel phone, you already have the ability to use Gemini.
Second, I don't see why someone would take issue. I mean, I can see not wanting to use the thing. I don't use Google's off-device speech recognition, because I don't want to send snippits of my voice to Google. I don't use their LLM functionality. I think that there are all sorts of apps, like location-sharing things, that it is a bad idea to install. But it's not like Google providing support on the platform would force you to use the thing.
Third, it sounds like you can use Gemini on grapheneOS. If you object to use of a platform that can make use of Gemini, grapheneOS isn't going to get you there.
Trump is a populist, and populism works by claiming that someone else that they are fighting is the enemy of the public and the source of any problems in society.
Since the Republicans currently have a trifecta, control both houses of Congress and the Presidency, unless he's going to attack the GOP, has to be someone outside of Congress and the Presidency. Can be a judge or a private company or something else.
They've had an actual (small) war before over Kashmir, subsequent to them both getting nuclear weapons.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kargil_War
They did not use their nuclear weapons.
It also marks one of only two instances of conventional warfare between nuclear-armed states (alongside the Sino-Soviet border conflict).
The US president said he had "no preference" but suggested an American cardinal, who comes from New York, would be good for the role.
Having managed to greatly influence the Canadian leadership contest last month, the controversial President now weighs in on the Vatican's process.
I wish this shot from The Terminator had the camera showing Sarah Conner's face instead of Reese's, because it'd be such an appropriate meme image on multiple levels for when someone makes a misleading claim about some current AI system.
I hope that that's inclusive of something like lines of documentation in comment lines.

A 10 pack of "20 x 30 x 0.16 inches;" cardboard weighs "6.4 Pounds".
10x30x10 is 6,000 square inches, or ~3.87 square meters. 6.4 lbs is 2.9 kg. So figure ~0.75 kg per square meter of corrugated cardboard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun
Its diameter is about 1,391,400 km (864,600 mi), 109 times that of Earth.
Area is r² times pi.
$ maxima
(%i1) float((1391400*1000/2)^2*%pi);
(%o1) 1.520526100532553E18
So that's an area of about 1.52×10¹⁸ m² and a mass of about 1.14×10¹⁸ kg for the cardboard cutout.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth
Mass: 5.972168×10²⁴ kg
Earth has about five million times as much mass, so the Sun cutout would have about a fifth of a millionth Earth's gravitational pull.
EDIT: In the grand spirit of what-if.xkcd.com I think it behooves us to take a humorously dark scientific look at this.
A larger problem would be 1.14×10¹⁸ kg of cardboard suddenly falling onto Earth's surface. Aside from any effects from it, like, directly impacting, you've just dumped 1.14×10¹⁸ kg of wood pulp onto Earth. Aside from any unpleasant effects from chemical additives, or blotting out the Sun's light to plants and causing biological collapse, I imagine that there could be some other unpleasant effects:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth
The atmosphere has a mass of about 5.15×10¹⁸ kg,
Earth's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen, and by volume about 20% oxygen, so we'll back-of-the-napkin it and say that about 20% of the mass is oxygen. So about 1×10¹⁸ kg of oxygen, fairly close to the mass of the cardboard cutout.
That cardboard is presumably flammable.
So if this vast expanse of cardboard ignites
like, from heat produced by falling through Earth's atmosphere, falling on any open flame in the world, or whatever, but seems like a pretty safe bet that something will touch it off
I'd assume that a considerable portion of Earth's oxygen supply would be converted to water and carbon dioxide in the resulting combustion reaction. Even aside from the global wildfire itself, that seems like it'd be pretty bad news for humans.
In all seriousness, I think that there might be a good argument, in 2025, for converting races, be they car or boat or whatnot, to be remotely-driven.
We've got the technology today.
It'd permit for higher speeds and suchlike, and eliminate some requirements.
The audience doesn't get the drama of the driver maybe being killed in an accident, but by-and-large, blood sport has faded into history.
There are clearly some people who watch racing for the crashes
but it's possible to have the crashes and have vehicles potentially destroyed without the drivers being killed too.
